Tag....you're it!

Congrats to Cathy Sorenson!  She won this week's $5 gift card.  Thanks for participating Cathy!  I am posting up one more Tuesday with a Twist for 2011.  I'll return in the New Year with more challenges and hopefully you all will be able to play in my Reindeer Games.

For this week's challenge I'd like you to create a tag.  This would be a great time to create a Christmas tag, but I have a soon to be 6-year old that thinks Hello Kitty hung the moon.  So I chose to make a little tag for her.  For this challenge you will need to incorporate buttons, ribbon and a flower. 

You have until Monday at 6pm PST to email me your tags to jamie.greent@gmail.com to be eligible for the $5 gift card. Just remember to have buttons, ribbon and a flower.  You can enter up to three tags for an entry each.

Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday!  I'll see you in 2012!!

Shiny and Bright

I want to thank those that entered the contest this week.  My hope for these Tuesday posts is that they inspire you to either try something new or to start some motivation.  This week, our winner Berni Caluya, confirmed that my hopes are coming to fruition.  She's working on a rough album about her husband's health scare.  She used his medical ID bracelet and journaled how he received it that frightful night in October of 2003.  Thanks for sharing your stories and your pages with me!

I love shiny and bright all year round, but with the holidays so close it just seems even more festive. This week I'd like to see you break out a couple of items to use on your creation.  I chose to do a card, but you can also do a layout in any size if you'd rather.   I'm looking for the following items on your project:  Bling, Ribbon, and Stickles.  With Christmas steam rolling towards me at warp speed I decided to make a couple of these cards showing off some shine.  I used two different types of ribbon, a few rhinestones and Stickles to accent the tree decorations.

Please submit your entries to me to jamie.greent@gmail.com by Monday night at 6pm PST.  You can submit up to three entries, just remember that each entry must have ribbon, bling and Stickles.  I'll draw a random winner on Tuesday and give you the next challenge.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your pages and cards. And as always, thanks for playing!
