25 Days of Christmas Tags

Good morning!  To say I am happy to be participating in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event today would be an understatement.  I adore this event!  Truly.  So much inspiration...so much fun...so many generous sponsors...so many prizes to be won! 
And I couldn't be happier to featuring products from Pretty Pink Posh.  I've been a long time fan and follower of Paulina.  I still remember the days of the "10 minute Craft Dash" fondly.  It was one of my favorite challenges ever.  But I digress...
Back to today's projects!  When I first started thinking of my tags I had a plan right away.  Two months later when I actually sat down to create them, I still had the same plan in mind.  And then, I saw these cute kiddos from Pretty Pink Posh's School Friends out of the corner of my eye, and I instantly switched gears.  As I looked at them I realized they easily could be kiddos in Christmas jammies holding gifts, and the rest is history. :)
After coloring Christmas jammies and mittens, I used a fine point sharpie to add a bow on the "package" to make it look like a gift.  The Scallop Diamond Tag was the perfect size backdrop.  I used a craft knife to slice out a diamond in the center of the die cut and backed it with this cute buffalo plaid.  I decided to personalize these tags, and it just so happened that Pretty Pink Posh's Thoughtful Greetings stamp set had all the letters I needed. I masked and selectively inked the letters to build the name using the MISTI.  It was surprisingly easy to do.
My second tag is basically the same but just fancied up a bit to reflect my daughter's personality more. (I imagined little elf jammies as I colored this one.) Pretty Pink Posh's Decorative Tag 1 is cut in gold glittered cardstock with the center removed, and then I used scripty letters from Thoughtful Greetings and School Friends to create the name.  I added a few of Pretty Pink Posh's Raspberry Jewels to accessorize her hair.  It's such a small detail, but it's one of my favorite parts.
I can't help but smile when I see these tags.  I had a blast creating them.  I just need to make one more for my littlest one.  Many thanks to Tracey for letting me join the fun! 
Make sure you head to Tracey's blog for oodles of inspiration and to join in creating some tags for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags Event.  Fingers crossed you win one of the fabulous prizes. :)
