I used some oval rhinestones from Pizzaz Aplenty.

The card sketch is from  Mercy's Tuesday sketches...

This card is also for Creative Belli  - "R" embellishments challenge...I used Rhinestones!

Next up is the lovely Snowmen image...

I paired Card Patterns sketch and fabulous embossed snowflake paper from Making Memories~ Noel collection for this card. I also used the pleated velvet ribbon and lace from the same collection. Just stamped the sentiment on cork tag and  tied it with Baker's Twine.

This card is for the following challenges...

Simon Says Stamp - let it snow.

 Scrapbook Sisters - let it snow.

Crazy 4 Challenges - circles .

I made quite a few tags for holiday gift giving...but most of them are cute or girly so here are some tags for the men on my list...

Very simple ones with minimum embellishments... just some baker's twine and a brad.

The set comes with wonderful sentiments...

I stamped the gorgeous Santa image on cork sheet and colored the white parts with white gel pen...really like how it turned out!!
