Card Swap Christmas Tags!

Hey there Crafty Peeps!! It's FRIDAY!!! YAY

Love it when the weekend comes around again! :)

It just means more time for crafting! Or.. Maybe

hanging out with the Family! Nothing wrong with

either of those options I think! :)

I know I've told you before about my monthly card swap

group that I'm in.... It's a local group and there's only about

6 to 8 of us who are in it... We've lost a couple of people due

to work, moving, things like that... But every year along

with a card we have to make Christmas tags - usually for

the Oct. & Nov. swaps - Cards will end up being Christmas as well

So, today I thought I would share the set of tags I made for 

one of the monthly swaps...

How CUTE is this tag? I thought it turned out ADORABLE! :)

Here are the 6 that I made for the group - I think I should make more

just to put on Christmas gifts this year... :)
