WMSC #117

Good morning friends. I'm here to share a tag based on this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge with Kelly Schirmer providing this great sketch


Using four wonderful Waltzingmouse stamp sets, I made a Christmas tag.


After I die cut the tag and mat with my Cameo, I created the background using stamps from Nordic Winter, Text It, and Very Vintage Christmas. The sentiment  is from Seasonal Remedies. I stamped, fussy cut, and colored with Copics the trio of holly leaves and berries. I added a rusty bell with twine and twill ribbon for tying onto the gift.  The dimensions of the tag are 5 1/4 x 3, so there will be no chance of missing this under the tree.
For the next three days, I will be helping my sister-in-law with pricing and staging items for Saturday's small estate sale of my mother-in-law who certainly liked her collections (Let me say, I hope to never wash another greasy shot glass, salt/ pepper shaker, or souvenir spoon). Fortunately, the dog and pig collections didn't require heavy washing. Yard sales are not really my thing and definitely not my husband's who has sold many of the larger items on Craigs list., but I will enjoy spending time with my sister-in-law and niece and am glad I can help them during this difficult time.

Thanks for stopping by,

  4. This tag is as cozy as it gets! I can hardly believe it's all stamped...looks like patterned papers! Awesome combination of images, Cammie!! Love how you placed the sentiment in an oval and layered it over the other shape. And to top it all off...a tag that JINGLES! Double extra credit points for you!
