Sending Christmas Cheer

Anyone else would think I was crazy, but I know you understand the whole Christmas card making in the summer thing!  I think non-card makers think we just whip these things out one blustery day in December.  To be honest, I am new to card making (big scrapbooker) so I haven't had this pressure before.  I have also decided not to make our cards this year as we send out way over 100.  I am, however, very excited to make the gift card holders and tags, etc.  Here's my first project, and I was inspired by the very sweet and amazing Alice Wertz who made this wonderful wine tag.  Now that's one talented lady!  Okay, I hear you all saying, "this doesn't look anything like hers!"  True, but I was inspired.

The sentiment came with the LOTV stamp and the papers were all from my scraps.  I cut the circle with my Creative Memories circle cutter and then placed it behind the kids.  The snowflakes were a freebie digi cut from the Silhouette online store.

This wine tag was inspired by the lovely and talented Alice Wertz and by the following challenges:

Lili's Little Fairies Challenge:  Christmas In July (We all know it's August, but they're just so behind right now what with the Queen's Jubilee and now the Olympics, we're cutting them some slack).

LOTV's Ideas to Inspire:  Anything but a Card  Frankly, I would've tried to come up with something more clever for this one, but we're leaving to go camping, and I didn't want to miss out on the fun!

Thanks so much to those of you that chose to follow my blog!  Thanks to everyone for stopping by!  I hope you have a great week, and I'll catch up with you next week when I get back (don't have too much fun out there without me).
