PTI Color & Sketch Challenge Tag Style

I have the blessing of working with the little ones (18 months - 3 years) at church and a few have birthdays this month, so I was in need of some tags.  I created these tags for Papertrey's Timer Challenge, but I also used PTI's sketch and color schemes to create the tags, so I'm entering them into the Color & Sketch Challenge as well.
It took me the full 7 minutes to gather supplies; however, I gathered for myself and my toddler...twice...because he didn't like the first set of things I got out for him to color with.  It took me 9 minutes 49 seconds to create my first tag, using this sketch and color scheme.  My 7 supplies were: cardstock, dies, stamps, ink, twine, colored pencils, and glitter.
Tag #2
You would think the next two tags would have taken less time, but each one I made took me a bit longer.  I think the adrenaline had worn off from the first challenge, and since I knew I would finish with plenty of time to spare, I just created at a leisurely pace.  Tag #2 took to finish 10 minutes 35 seconds to finish.
 
Tag #3
The last tag took 10 minutes 17 seconds).  I could have easily finished in under 10 minutes, but a glossy accents clog took me a couple minutes to fix.  I love the glossy balloon, though, so it was well worth the time spent.
I had a blast pulling out some long neglected supplies for this challenge...namely PTI's Tiny Treats: Birthday Stamp Set.  And I just had to share this.  I know it is silly, but by now I'm guessing you know silly little things make me happy.  I made confetti to put in each kiddo's treat bags, and I had so much fun doing it.  I smiled the whole time I punched the circles, and I just know the kids are going to love them because my toddler thought they were awesome. He was way more interested in them than the tags. :)
