This month's hop is all about Christmas stamps. Right now all I have is the A timber stamp. But this a great stamp, and its only $7.95. How can you beat that?
Tags I made, very simple to do and makes any gift more personal.

I used A Timber to make tags. Tags are great cause you use them for so much. Below I used a tag on a card. Makes a great focal area.

Ok enjoy the hop, next is Luisa
This is a christmas card with a twist. The picture is framed and removable from the card. So after christmas they have a picture to keep on their mantel or wall
For the frame, I used Desert Sand cardstock to make a frame, stamped with flourishes with Tim Holtz Distress Inks ( I know, not CTMH but I really wanted that color). Then I cracked the frame by embossing it 3 times with UTEE and placed it in the freezer. Once it was cooled, I cracked it and went over it with Brown Staz-On.
This tent card does double duty as well since the center is removable and can be hung on the tree. Plus it is a shaker box. 
I made this artwork for my open house to show what you can do with tags. These tags were very simple to make and would make a great gift.
Here is the close up of the tages. The hardest part was doing the rosettes. First because I didn't have any Pear cardstock so I dyed copy paper. The circles have Glitter Glitz rubbed all over them. I also stamped a border stamp on the letters.
