Happy Monday!
Today is incredibly special for
two reasons.
First, it’s the launch of the
amazing, talented, designer extraordinaire Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags inspiration, for 2014 (if you want to be WOWed, check out her Pinterest boards here: 2011, 2012, 2013).
For
the next 25 days, Tracey will be posting a new Christmas tag she’s created AND
her tag will be joined by one (or two…) created by a Guest Designer.
I’m beyond excited to announce
that I’m joining Tracey as her Day 1 GD, having won the oh-so-fabulous prize
she offered last year. To say I’m honoured to have my tags standing next to
Tracey’s is an understatement!
I’m sharing two tags today (of
course I would…)
Technically, this little number is a tag card, featuring NUBS by way of the paper, the wee bell and the Christmas sentiment (thanks to Geri Freeman for setting me in that direction *grin*)
My second is a tag, featuring my peace die you've seen before, joined by NBUS paper and wee ornament, cut from foil paper.
Be sure to check by
Tracey's blog every
day for the next 25 days. If you thought previous editions of
her tag series were amazing, this year will be a show-stopping knock-out! She has an incredible line up of guests ready to
'tantalize your tag-making' mojo, as well as a selection of prizes from some
wildly popular sponsors:
Reverse Confetti
Clearly Besotted
CAS-ual Fridays
Neat and Tangled
Paper Smooches
See…I
told you this would be fabulous!!
How do you win? Easy peasy! Simply comment on my blog, Tracey's blog and the blogs of her other GDs, by November 27th. I'll be selecting a random commenter to Tracey, who will be making the prize draw over at her site on the 28th. Ready...set...comment
I’m also sharing my tags
at Addicted to Cas #51~Tags
and Tag, You're It #9, where Leigh's tag is our inspiration (only my first tag).
I'm super excited to see what Tracey has in store for the next 24 days. Thank you for inviting me to join you!
As for the second incredibly special feature of this day? It's our lovely
Tracey’s
birthday!!
Happy Birthday, my friend! May your day be filled with celebrations, joy and love - and wishes for more of the same in the year to come!
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!
