Great Christmas Gift Tag Ideas!

Earlier this Fall, I participated in a Christmas Gift Tag swap. 

Four of those tags, including my own design from this 

blog post HERE are part of my Glam Tags class. 

(Moved to 12/17. Periscope LiveStream on 12/18)

Here are the other tags from the swap. 

All are adorable, don't you think??

Even if you don't have the exact supplies to re-create these at home, you can use the basic ideas and layouts to make some fun Gift Tags of your own! 
There's still plenty of time to get crafty for Christmas!

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about these tags, feel free to email me at trinitydesignstudio1@gmail.com

Winter Wishes Gift Tag

Hey there crafty peeps!

Yesterday, I shared something quick and easy and awesome - did  you like the Santa Suit card? 

Today, I'm sharing something awesome, but not exactly quick and easy....
But SO worth it, would you agree??
Take a look:

As the Mom of a figure skater, I am always OVERJOYED when Stampin' Up! comes out with a stamp of an ice skate - and this image from the Winter Wishes stamp set just makes my heart go pitter-patter!! 
It's detailed right down to the toe-pick - if you skate, you KNOW what I mean....

For this gift tag, I stamped, colored and cut out 
ONE sled image
TWO evergreen branches and
TWO ice skates.
That's a lot of fussy-cutting, but it was worth it. 
I ADORE how this turned out!

The tag base itself was done with the Lots of Labels Framelits and my Big Shot. And I stamped the Hardwood background with Tip Top Taupe ink. 
For the banner, I stamped the greeting on a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out with my Paper Snips. It's curled with the Bone Folder and adhered to the front. 

Here's all the supplies for this project:

As always, you can click on any of the thumbnail photos above and shop directly from my Online Store. 
Winter Wishes is RETIRING at the end of the Holiday Catalog. :( (Boo)
But you've been warned, get it before it's gone! 

Thanks for stopping by today, 
now go create something fun!

Hello December 2015 - A Project Life Project

Good morning stampers!

Today, I'm giving you a little glimpse into my personal life and sharing something I'm doing for myself this December. 

Every day, I spend time with God, reading scripture from the Bible and writing in my journal. 

Several months ago, I discovered that my Facebook friend Shannon Long publishes a monthly Scripture Writing plan and I started using it in my daily time with God. 

I've found that writing out a portion of scripture each day not only draws me closer to him, but gives me a deeper understanding of his word. 

For the month of December, I decided to document the scriptures in a Project Life Album using the Hello December 2015 suite of products. 

I'm including family photos in the album, along with the written scriptures, personal journaling and pre-designed pocket cards to create a keepsake that I know I'll treasure for years. 

I've decided to share my album here with you as we go through the month, maybe it will inspire you to create a similar keepsake for yourself.

Here are the pages for December 1-5:

(For the photos of my pages here on the blog, I've added family photos from Christmases past so you can see fully designed pages. I'll be switching them out for photos of this year after the new year so I can document 2015.)

Here are the supplies I used to create the album and the pages: 

As always, you can click on the thumbnail photos to purchase any of the products shown - you'll be directed into my Online Store to complete your order. 

If you'd like to follow the same Scripture Writing Plan that I am, you can find it on my friend Shannon's blog at this link here:

Sweet Blessings

Wishing you a blessed Christmas season! 

Join me on my journey this year. 

(All scripture in my December Project Life Journal comes from the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible)
