SCRAPS TO TREASURES TAG SWAP




Welcome to the Scraps to Treasure Team's Christmas Tag Swap Hop!  You should have arrived here from Tahi at http://tahisscrapcorner.blogspot.com.  If by chance you were just stopping by my blog to say hi you may want to go back to  Ellen at http://cardmonkeyspaperjungle.com/ to start out the hop from the beginning.  

Our goal on the Scraps to Treasure Team is to make use of all those scraps of paper leftover from layouts and cardmaking and other paper projects.  Today's hop will include 12 stops where you will get to see an assortment of Christmas Tags.  The instructions were to use scraps, paint, ink and whatever else you have around to make 12 tags which we will then swap with each other.  

We have a special present for you: Two lucky hoppers will win a set of tags that were featured in this hop! To be eligible to win, you need to leave a comment on EACH blog stop in the hop.

To start I chose one of my Sizzix Tag Dies.  Next I invaded my scrap basket and found some festive larger sized scraps and cut them out.  After this I found some white pages that were taken out of my art journal when the binding started to break - also now scraps.  I picked out two stamp sets - one for the 'to and from' and the other for some Christmas images.  I stamped and colored and then I cut them with a circle punch.  I edged everything with ink and added some ribbon or fibers to match.  Done!

And here they are:



Here is the line-up for the hop:
