My First Tag Swap...



Whew... what a busy weekend! My hubby was brave enough to take my 3 older daughters to the Justin Bieber concert on Friday night and while they had fun singing and dancing, I stayed home with my baby and worked on some crafts together. Yes, "we" worked together on some projects (she sat on my lap and helped pass things to me... even when I didn't need it... hehehe)! Here are the set of tags that we created for Kyoko's Christmas Tag Swap. This month my partner was Denise and I am so glad that she liked my tags. I decided to make some little gingerbread men punch art to add to my tags. Those punches always come in handy... hehehe!



I stamped this little peppermint and wrapped it in cellophane to give it that "candy" look. The ends are tied with dental floss.



I couldn't give Denise my tags without a box, so I created this matchbox style to hold them.



Here is a photo of how the box opens up.



These are the wonderful tags that I received from Denise! And look, she also gave me a stamp too! Love the saying on the stamp, but I especially love the way she did the border on the tags! Thanks Denise for teaching me something new and for being my tag swap partner this month!
