Rudolph Tag -- Christmas in July at Bugaboo Stamps

The Christmas in July fun is underway over at Catch the Bug Challenges.  Every Monday is ABC Day, or Anything But a Card.  Today is no exception.  Well, every gift needs a way to identify it, so I went with a tag, but before I show it to you, I want to tell you a little bit more about this year's Christmas in July at Bugaboo Stamps.  One of our long-time design team members, Julie Temple recently died, and this whole week is dedicated to her.  I didn't know her well.  She was having health problem by the time I came on the team, but she was always super sweet and helpful to me.  She lived in Eastern Iowa, so she had lousy Winter weather, just like I do here in Wisconsin.  We were practically neighbors, living hours apart, instead of across the world like some of my teammates do.  Here's one blog link I found from way back in 2012 (yes, she was on this team a long time!) that I particularly enjoyed! Check out the cute card, too!

OK, now for the tag I made for today's Anything But A Card Challenge:

I figure, what better to decorate a gift than a tag with Rudolph on it.  This tag is part of a whole set of tags called AKV Reindeer Names Set.  Each reindeer is in the set, in both black & white and a colored version.  I used the black & white version of Rudolph here and colored it with Copic markers. 

I created the tag by using a set of dies by Sue Wilson.  The checked paper is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is one of the Winter Plaid papers.

Back to Julie and her cute card from 2012.  Isn't this adorable?
