Christmas in the Bank "Sandi's Challenge"

Hello Friends!1

Happy Tuesday!!

I am so excited to share with you something that one of my bestest buddies Sandi came up with.

 (Actually Sandi was the first person that I met...that gave me the opportunity to be part of a Design Team.  Now...I was not on the actual DT, but I was helping her with  her group, which lead to me being on my first DT at Bella Creations.  Some of you may remember that.  It is a group of galz I have stayed close with).

It is called

 "Christmas in the Bank"

She has all the details of it on her blog. I think it is worth your time to read her post!!

Her first challenge is to crate at least a dozen Christmas tags.

Here is my first set of tags, I have created.  I will share the rest of my tags through out the next couple days.

I found a Christmas image from Karen the Graphics Fairy.

I used GIMP to create a Christmas Tag Collage sheet.

You can purchase them here.

If you refer back to my photo of my 3 finished tags above, you will see that in the collage sheet you get "2" larger tags, "1" medium and "1" small tag.  

Here are the medium and small tags.  I used Ranger's Distress inks in peeled paint, and vintage photo.  I also distressed the edges with my kraft knife.  I did simple embellishments.

Red leaves, Peppermint Baker's Twine as well as Candi fix it foam pads, pink leaves and aqua seam binding all from

Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Above is a close up of the top of the larger tag....and Below is a close up of the bottom of the large tag.

These are just 3 of my 12 tags (which I will share the rest through out the week).

I hope that you will see that by taking part in Sandi's Challenge we are all winners...and that when Christmas comes next year...we will all be ahead of the game!  

Actually I have decided that anyone who goes to Sandi's blog...and participates in the challenge, will be placed in a Random drawing...and will win a free digital collage sheet of their choice from my Etsy store.  

So...hop on over and visit Sandi's blog.

I have even put a

 "How to add a link in a comment you leave on a blog post"  

video to show you how to link up to Sandi's Challenge via her comments.  

So check it out...you may find this useful for other reasons.

I will be sharing with

Make it Monday:  Anything Goes

Thank you for visiting!!
