Fa La La La La! - Christmas Gift Tag Trio

I just couldn't resist using a few more of the wonderful Christmas crafting goodies I seem to have amassed this year. So instead of more cards I went with a small collection of gift tags.
And instead of going on gifts these ones are adorning my tree! (I stole this decorating idea from one of my very favorite bloggers Scrappy Jan)

These are on the tree in my formal living room that usually just has poinsettias and frosted fruit ornaments and really is quite a "formal tree" but I had so much fun making these little cuties and I'm not sure if I won't be making some more soon! How cute would a tree full of this style tag be?
I hope you like them too and maybe I've inspired you to do even more Christmas crafting?

I'm Dreaming of an Aqua Christmas!

Although I have made plenty of Christmas cards this year I couldn't resist making yet another one :) After my week away in England it feels great to get back into my craft room and get coloring again.
There are lots of Christmas challenges around at the moment but the photo inspiration one at Crafty Cardmakers with the beautiful Aqua tree really caught my eye and that's where I started with this card.
