How spooky!  This challenge has Jayne and myself thinking along the same lines….holly!  and for Christmas!!

I am usually a Crafter who thinks about making things for Christmas from January (in a bid to be mega organised for the next Christmas), but I do nothing about it until December and then I panic.  Sound familiar?  Well this year I am trying to get a little stock in store so that I can spend December concentrating on the nice things about Christmas instead of in a state of panic over what I promised myself I would make and finding myself with no time.

So I hope we haven’t shocked you Fiskarettes too much out there – Christmas really has come early, lol.

This is such a simple tag to make.  Cut out two sized circles with your ShapeCutter and Circle Template.  Pop a scallop shape inbetween – ink them all with black ink, and then adhere together.  I sewed them with my machine.

Holly leaves are die-cut from glitter card.

Now, would you believe it?  I have been tidying and reorganising my room on and off the the past few weeks and I can’t find my brads!  I moved them all into a large jar and I can’t find it.  So I used Card Candy, which were designed to look like brads, so I hope that passes the challenge criteria! :)

Make a hole, using an Eyelet Setter, and thread some ribbon through.

So, thats two tags made – about 100 to go, lol…..

Hope you can take part in the challenge – it doesn’t have to be Christmassy of course…. ;o)

    Lovely card, I have in the past had comments with this webpage to join in challenges here, but am a bit puzzled at ‘where’ the challenges are. I know there was one Fiska’s blog/forum/ where I can’t load pictures anyway, but it would be nice to join in!

    Lovely tag, and I like the little berries! I think they’re acceptable as brads! xx
