The original plan for this tag was to use it for a gift, but as I created it it became something more.
I used October Afternoon's "Very Merry" collection to put a base on this manila tag, distressed the edges with walnut stain ink, hand cut the banner pennants that frame the sentiment (which is a sticker that I cut in 3 parts - from their "Holiday Style" collection), and added cute Recollections bling.
The hexagon shape was cut with a Spellbinders die, distressed and faux stitched. I decided to leave it blank because some time in December I'll be adding a family photo on it, and placing it in the center (circle shape) with pop dots.
On the back I plan on doing some journaling about the photo and adding a date. I tied some tinsel through the hole and made it so that it hangs.
It's a gift tag, a picture keepsake, an ornament for your tree, a tag for your December Daily journal book or a Christmas card for your relative.
I really hope you will make one of these of your own... and if you do, please leave a SECOND comment linking me back to your photo or blog post. I'd love to see what you made!! =D
