Tag, You're It!



Christmas Tags that can be used as their own decoration and even used as a gift on their own. I made a variety of festive tags with gift card pockets.

One of the things I dislike about most cards or tags with a gift card slot is that they only look good when they have the gift card in place. As soon as the recipient takes out the gift card to use it, the card or tag looks incomplete. So, when adding in a gift card pocket, I try to think of a design that fits the card but still looks good without it.

Snow Fort


Building a snow fort is part of living in a snowy climate as a child. I was, though, too young when we lived in a snowy place when I was child, but I do remember my brother and his friends building the forts. I was three and it was a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. We moved from there to California before the next winter.
