12 Tags of Christmas Day 12

The final day of the 12 Tags of Christmas -I'm a little sad, but also quite glad to have completed them all. This tag was so much fun to make with a great shabby chic feel to it! A really fun background with the tissue paper and a cool flower with it, too. I have to confess that I'm in the group that finds Frozen Charlottes kind of creepy.....last year I took a couple of classes with Tim Holtz and one was to be used in one of the class projects - I gave it back to him. So, needless to say I needed a replacement and used this cute little girl from a Red Lead ancestor collage sheet and changed my phrase. This is definitely my favorite tag of this year. Now I must get back to reality and tackle all the housework I've neglected! Good thing I'm not back to work for another week :-)

I'm not fond of the Charlotte dolls either! Love the little girl image you chose. She has that impish look about her so your sentiment matches well!

I'm off to tackle my neglected house too. Bet most of us will be!

Hi, I think this tag is absolutely exquisite - only just caught up on making my Christmas cards, the tags 'took over' all my crafting time (and everything else, apart from work) was forgotten for a blissful while

Definitely prefer your choice of cute child instead of spooky. Makes it more your own work as Frozen Charlottes so overused.
