Hello Monday my friends! We have a new challenge for you this week and a blog hop! This week we are getting ready for a Christmas in July blog hop, so dig into your stash and let's have some fun together! Did you know there are only 21 weeks left to Christmas? It's time to make a start on your holiday preparations!
We are showcasing the fabulous Tim Holtz products this week, so if you have any of of his supplies, please use them!l
The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp have been busily packaging up 4 surprise Christmas gifts for 4 lucky entrants! All you have to do is hop around all the stops along the way, leave comments and find where the gifts are hidden.
Then you can enter the challenge up to 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly from the comments on the blogs with the hidden gifts, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your Christmas makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!
You should have arrived here from Macarena, if not then you may need to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.
I made a trio of tags that I can add to presents or turn into cards, so now I have a wee bit done for the holidays. A special thanks to my teamie Kath for sharing some die cuts with me, this was the perfect time to pull them out.
I used Kraft tags, and stenciled them with the Holiday Script stencil and Ground Espresso ink. The trees also have some glitter added to them.
It's always fun to add some details, like the 25 brad, hand dyed ribbon, and a tiny silver Just Believe.
I added glittery stars, the cute little pixie and hand dyed ribbon to this tag.
Some glitter accents, a fluted star and hand dyed ribbon finish off this tag.
I do love some Christmas in July crafting. I'm looking forward to seeing your Krafty creations this week!
Be sure to visit Sandra next for more Christmas inspiration on our blog hop!
