Christmas Gift Tags

Gift tags I made for this year's Christmas gifts were cut at 3 3/4 X 2 1/4 using the Tags, Bags Boxes and More Cricut cartridge. Other elements used:
Cardstock(Bazzill)

Snow(Fiskar Punch)

Paper(Wausau)
Stamp(Michaels $1.50, Recollections and Inkadinkado)
Stars(TCW Stencil)
Tag(Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More)
Ink(Ranger Distress and Momento)
Mini Staple(Tim Holtz)

Scissors(Tim Holtz)
Ribbon(Michaels)

 

The edges of the tags were inked with the Rangers Distress ink. The stars were stenciled using distress ink. The snowman was stamped using the Momento ink. The "Snow" was cut using a Fiskar punch and freehand cut to look like mounds of snow on the front of the tag.  Than the back of the tags were stamped with acrylic snowflakes and sentiment using a Fiskars stamping plate with distress ink. Ribbon was run through the slit and held in place with a mini staple.

In Seattle

After an Alaskan cruise with my daughter, Deborah we stayed at the Fairmont Hotel for a couple of days in August 2010. While I was just in VA for three weeks this June I had pictures from the trip printed at CVS. I know I am way behind in scrapping, but I like to do things as I feel them. That's one of the advantages of being retired. We had a crop gathering at my daughter's home and here are five(5) of the 8X8 layout pages I made while I was still there in VA.

 The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is beautiful. We really enjoyed our short stay there. We had lunch at the hotel in the Shuckers dining room. And dinner  later in the Georgian dining room.

 Lobster Mac n' Cheese and Calamari were delicioous

The freshest raw oysters we have ever tasted. The Snow and Kumamoto were our favorite, but they were all delicious.





The customized roasted vegetables with crumbled blue cheese on the side that cost me $30 plus dollars, yes $30 plus. But they were well worth it after having a steady diet of fruits of the sea for ten(10) straight days. Consists of:yellow beets, leeks, carrots, parsnips, white asparagus, rutabaga, and garlic. YUMMY!!! That was the only thing I wanted to eat for dinner.
