We are 5 days into December and I am feeling like it's crunch time. My kids are out after next Friday and I want to take advantage of all the time they are home. We get 3 weeks off and I am ready! So with the fact that we have 8 school days left at our house, let's start getting this blog ready for Christmas. This will be a short post because I have a bunch of stuff to get done before I pick the kids up from school.
Amazon boxes are being delivered and it's time to get wrapping! I wanted to make some tags out of some of the graphics I bought for our Christmas Cards (and didn't end up using). I think they are kind of fun and after looking at the price of tags yesterday at Target, I decided I would just make my own. . . it's cheaper! I couldn't justify 6 tags for $4, when they are just going to end up with the trash pile or part of a wrapping paper ball war (please tell me that this happens in your house, too?). I wanted something that would be cute and not have to cost a whole bunch.
The printable has 5 different options. Some you might not even like. It's okay. . . I wasn't the biggest fan of the wreath, but I kept it there because maybe it will be yours (It's okay if it's not). I also left lots of room for you to cut them out the way you want. I used some of my Sizzix framelits and an old Creative Memories oval cutter to cut these guys out. You can even use a tag punch (which I don't have). You could even just use your scissors and cut them out in the shape you want. The possibilities are endless! Just print them out on your favorite card stock color. I used white and kraft and I think I like the white best, but you do, you. Make it your own. Get creative!
I would love to see you you are using them, so don't forget to snap a picture and post it to social media using #outoftherightbrainblog.
