No Card Christmas

 Hello 

"It's the most wonderful time of the year", I believe that's how the song goes and I totally agree. 

I treated myself to a Tattered Lace Advent calendar.

I love having a grown-up crafting advent calendar, it's far less calorific 😉

So on the 5th day of advent my calendar gave to me

Prancing Deer Die

And thanks to this wonderful little self indulgence, I found inspiration for our fun challenge over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges

Christmas themed but No Cards

So we want to see your Christmas themed creations just take a break from cards this week.

I had quite a bit scrap cardstock which we all have and with my little friend above, I was able to whip up so simple but effective gift tags

I think a handmade gift tag on a present is such a nice treat in this age of throw-away society.

The red tag bases are all made from off-cuts of other projects (like exploding boxes), the deer are also made from scraps of cardstock and so are the white label sections.

It's easy to be waste conscious if you keep a couple of scrap tubs, one for biggish off-cuts and one for smaller scraps. 

(It also means more crafting when money might be tight 😁)

I will share more advent adventures shortly.
