It's Chrismas in August

Am I rushing Christmas a bit?

Not if I want to join Pinky at Tag Tuesday.  That's because her theme is Christmas.  I was hoping for a bit of whimsy and got glitter everywhere instead!

Because I also wanted to use this tag in a journal setting, I'm joining Alison, AKA Craftytrog, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.

Alison's theme is Pockets and Tags.

Although you'll see three tags,

there's not a single pocket

in sight.

I began this spread by adding some Christmas cardstock as the background in my Challenges altered book.

Then I added the three tags, the larger of which was die cut.  The two smaller tags were cut from a used file folder.  I added hole reinforcers to all before I added the tiny rick rack to the tags.  All tags were created the same way.  I had a large sheet of never-used American Lung Association stickers from 2015.  Instead of trying to remove the stickers one by one, I just laid the sheet over the tags and cut them to size.  I purchased the poinsettia a year or so ago on clearance, along with five others on a card from JoAnn's (a big box craft store in the states).

It was sweet of you to visit today.  I'm always grateful when you do.  Please also join me at both Tag Tuesday and Art Journal Journey.
