Could only get 5 pictures at one time so had to do this one seperately
I had this over whelming feeling to do another christmas item after the new year. I had all these little minatures that I have had for years in a draw so decided to do a configuations box. I have also included pictures of the little compartments. You sure can put lots of minatures in each area. I think I will keep this one myself as I usually give away most of what I make to my daughter-in-laws.





I did attempt to do a birthday card for Tim. I choose a canvas instead of a card. I wrote on the canvas(bad idea) but couldn't change it so kept going. The saying is
"You can't turn back the clock but you can wind it up again"
I didn't get it uploaded to enter over at studiol3 but that is okay. It was fun and I send it to Tim.
Well I finally have uploaded my last tag. Life gets in the way sometimes. LOL. Anyway I feel good that I did get all 12 tags done this year. Didnt have the house die behind the frozen charlotte, so just cut it out by hand. My tissue flower leaves a little to be desired,as I used 7 Gypsies tissue paper as I had it.
it was fun and I do love the charlottes.

Gosh my photography gets worse. LOL I like vintage santas better so used one. Didnt have a long Merry Christmas so used a Happy Holiday instead. I have never done shrink plastic before but have decided I like it, they weren't really flat but I liked that also.

I colored the holly leaves on sants head with green distress ink and used red stickles for the berries. Really liked this tag. Boohoo only one more day. But I do need to get on with christmas after day 12. I hope to get day 12 done as I leave at 6am in the morning for New Hampshire to visit my other two gorgeous grandchildren Elayna 4 and Lucien 18 mth cant wait.

Tag 10 this is a keeper, love the techneique and the overall look of the tag.
Didnt have the stamp set so used the seasonal christmas risist paper
and stamped some boughs in the corners. Love the perfect pearls mist
not that you can see it in the picture. I ran out of the right alpha letter so started cutting up letters to make E's from O's. Also had no antique glass balls so used some clear crystal fringe
(love that stuff) It is just so hard to say which is my favorite tag
I love them all. Two days left of the 12 days of christmas and it has been a great journey.
