Framed Tag

Everyone is doing holiday tags and things but I just can not find the time to do a whole group of them during the holiday season. If you are like me, you see them and think about how you wish that you could make time. Well, how about ONE tag. Just one cute little tag. I can do that! I pulled out my DCWV French Country stack, because it's just so beautiful, and I made one tag. It was fairly quick once I found this little pear on a holiday pick. I cut the styrofoam pear in half and hot glued it to the paper rosette that I made. I also have a little stash of broken costume jewelry from thrift stores and things and I used a piece with a half pearl on the pear. Since the paper is all glossy glittery here and there, I didn't need the extra glitter, but I added a bit around the scalloped circle to make it look sugary and some mica flake looking snow for the plastic holly at the top. And done. The frame is an old one from my grandmother, that was falling apart anyway, so I added my favorite print for the background and pinned the tag on. Then I thought maybe I could make a spring tag to put in there after Christmas. :) The cool part is that that blue is the exact color of my walls in the master bathroom and it looks very cute between our mirrors for a bit of Christmas cheer.
