Why yes Veronica there is a Santa Claus

Each year Rick and I exchange gifts.  Each year we say.....just one or two honey then let's do it right when we go on vacation to Europe.  This year it was Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Shetland Islands, Denmark and the Faroe Islands.  Next year it is Greece and Italy..... so let's just save and go crazy there.......Right... um no way.  

He thinks he is the ultimate gift giver which he has won every single year...this year though I think I might have given him the perfect gift.  I don't know I will let you know on the 26th.  But the sports car I think is a great idea.  Now if he could just find it under this tree.  ;0) 

Making tags today

Let's face it....this time of year can be very very stressful for me at work.  When I am in my studio I forget everything and just get lost in my work.  Today I so needed a studio day.

 I made this tag for Rick's Christmas gifts

 I had purchased this new paper edge punch and wanted to try it out.  I love the classic look of the punch.  Olive and  Burgundy have always been two of my all time favorite Christmas colors

This little gal, oh how cute.  I love the saying and using orange was a little off the holiday colors but I like it

 And then there is this one I started.......  I love her she is inspired by the book 50 shades of Gray.  I am stuck on the saying...so I haven't finished her yet.
I was thinking
Who needs Victoria's Secret when you have Veronica's Secret...still thinking that one out

 I love her hair and wings

 A close up of the flowers and leaves....

 Not sure if you can see put each flower has a cute little star in the center

 I just love this saying.......  

So...here we go
Images are from Simply Betty stamps...www.simplybstamps.net
and from Saturated Canary www.saturatedcanary.com
paper is from various vendors mostly MME
I used copics to color the images
Dies used are memory box, tim holtz and spellbinders.

Fun in Williamsburg

Today I didn't make as many but love this one

Today I had to clean up from yesterday and then start on my Brother's girls ( Niece's) children's tags.  They are all started just not finished yet....  some are drying others I have creative block

 But here is one I made for Rick today.  I love this vintage image. Of course I had to think of something cute to say.

Today in the studio

 This is a tag I made using garland around the tree

 I love pin ups.  So I made him this tag with a pin up girl
