I woke yesterday morning to a very dull, overcast and utterly miserable day weather wise that quickly turned to that horrible fine drizzle. Yes, the perfect excuse to ignore all the outside jobs and retreat to the craft room. I had a fantastic few hours playing around making tags. I have a box that I keep all the scraps and oddments in that I use for tag making the perfect way to maximize materials.
The papers are all oddments from scrapbooking and card making, pieces that are too small to be of use. I had such fun selecting papers and trying to match some of the toppers. It certainly passed away a pleasant few hours.
I also started to experiment with oddments for my Christmas tags. A rather large job so needs to be done in small sessions. But I impressed myself with some of the results. As some of you may know I am a great lover of buttons so using some to decorate the tags was a real thrill.
I loved the snowman and thought this might be a nice addition to packages for the Grandchildren, although the vintage papers above with the Santa embellishment was also a contender, decisions, decisions! I thought I might make some more Christmas pudding tags to write the heating instructions on, attaching them to the pudding when I have made them nearer to Christmas.
The weather is pretty good today so I had better finish off and get back outside to the mundane jobs of clearing the garden.
See you soon.
