Just a little creating going on and on and on!!

Only have about 10 straight days of this ahead of me!! Yikes!!

I'm totally into the Holiday spirit of things around here - to my DH's disappointment! LOL He really believes that decorations shouldn't start filling the house until Dec. 1st!! But with so much to do and so little time.....I need to start NOW! You should have seen the expression on his face when I announced today "that the decorating was in motion!!" ROTFL

Tag Gift Pouch

Make the tag the gift!! In this example you can see I hung a necklace from the top of the tag, but you could also make this tag into a gift card holder as well, by adding an envelope on the back of the tag. Let your imaginations soar on this one, I can't wait to see what you come up with.
1. Gather the items you will use for your tag.

2. Have a piece of chipboard ready.
3. Put glue on your tag back and adhere it to your chipboard. Cut away unused chipboard. I find doing this easier than having to measure the chipboad.

6. Attach backing. Remember to add your ribbon before attaching the chipboard!
7. Ink your edges.
8. Punch your hole(s) to add ribbon.
9. Attach envelope to the back of the tag.

10. Embellish as desired.
