Snowy Christmas Tag -- for QKR Stampede Challenge Blog

Ho! Ho! Ho!  The month of December is upon us!  Let the festivities begin!  We've begun decorating the nursing home this week (inside, that is -- outside began a couple weeks ago whenever the weather was nice and we had a few spare minutes).  This evening, the first of many groups will be at the nursing home for their annual Christmas festivities.  This evening, it's the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts and their families.  It will be a great event!

Speaking of events, there's a new challenge starting today at QKR Stampede challenge blog.  This week's optional theme is 'Christmas Tags', or you can enter an 'Anything Goes' project, too.  I love making tags, so I had fun with this one!

This tag uses the digital stamp Snowy Christmas Tree (ES-digi39401), colored with Faber-Castell colored pencils.  

The background paper, the musical notes, is a digital paper found at Snap Click Supply.  It's by Cosmo Cricket.  All the dies used on this tag are by Paper Wishes.  The fibers are from Close To My Heart. 

I hope you can join us this week at QKR Stampede for our Christmas Tags optional theme.  I'd love to see your entry, and we have great prizes to win! 

Be Yourself -- Guest Designing for Art By Miran FB Challenge

Woohoo!  I recently won a challenge at Art by Miran, and was asked if I wanted to guest design for their Facebook Challenge that starts today.  If?  Of course!!  Who wouldn't?!?  I LOVE Art by Miran images, so I jumped up and down with excitement, then jumped at the chance.

I chose this delightful image to work play with for the challenge:

This Art By Miran image is Punkette Peta. I thought her style was irresistible. I colored her with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from a Close To My Heart stamp set.  It seemed to fit Punkette Peta's style quite well! The background paper for the tag is from Cosmos Cricket. The tag dies are from Paper Wishes.  The feathers are from my stash, and the crinkle ribbon is 3 Girl JAM.

I want to thank Vannessa Hasty from the Art by Miran Facebook team for arranging this guest design spot for me today.  I had a blast making this tag!
