Tag...You're it!

So this past week was filled with family, food and stamps. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the Thanksgiving weekend. I am behind on projects (what's new?) so I'm trying to play catch up. I have 31 class Christmas treats to come up with. No idea what I'm going to do yet. I've been scouring Pinterest for SOMETHING but have yet to find the right thing. I have lots of Christmas cards to make too, but I just focused on gift tags. Yes, I actually stayed on task FOR ONCE! I suffer from crafting A.D.D. so this is a major accomplishment!

Gift tags are a blast. At least I think they are. There are SO many options it's ridiculous. I need some more kiddy related ones though. Good thing I just put in a monster Stampin' Up! order! So there will be cute gift tags to come. As long as I can focus, that is.

Soft Sympathy

I am addicted to French Foliage. I've been using the heck out of it lately. I always seem to get attached to something AFTER they retire it. Day late and a dollar short is my motto. Oh well, works for me. Once again, the need for a sympathy card sucks, but it WAS really fun to put this one together. I really like the color combo. Not sure if I'll be able to duplicate it ever again. lol

I really love doing detail work. The leaves seem to come alive with a little marker attention. Time consuming yes, but definitely worth it.

Cardstock ~ Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Very Vanilla

Ink ~ Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Suede, Soft Sky, Early Espresso

Stamp Sets ~ French Foliage, So Sorry, Truly Grateful

Other supplies ~ cream ribbon, burlap ribbon

Open Season

Tis that time of year again. Hunters are gathering their gear and heading out to claim that prized rack! I think this is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the crisp weather (though we still have sweltering temps), I love the colors, I love the pumpkin spiced lattes, I guess I just love it all.

I set out to create a card for my brother, who is headed out to go archery hunting this weekend.  So I'm a little late. SHOCKER! I was hoping to send this to him to wish him "Good Luck" but I may have to send it as a "Congratulations" instead. Hopefully I didn't just jinx him.

I really can't take any credit for the design of this card. I pretty much stole the entire idea from my sweet friend Bree at Craft-somnia Momma.
