For the 8th Day of Art 'n Soul's Twelve Days of Christmas Tags, Dianne has made this gorgeous and very simple-to-make tag. She's using a Spellbinders' die, distress ink, Magenta stamps, White Diamond Embossing powder, and a spritz of the Perfect Pearl water that Dianne makes.

Dianne will be at the store all day today (Wednesday) to assist you through this make-and-take tag. You've been wonderful to stop by through the Twelve Days of Christmas Tags at Art 'n Soul . . . all of which benefits the local Food Bank in cash and non-perishable food items. Don't stop now . . . please! And you'll love making this tag!

On the Graphic 45 blog, someone has made the most adorable fairy ornaments using what they call "Dolly Pegs" and what I call old-fashioned clothes pins mom used when hanging clothes and towels on the outside clothes line. Anyone remember those days?

Speaking of Graphic 45, I'm hoping the new "Time to Flourish" paper collection will be at Art 'n Soul before Christmas. It's a terrific collection to use for any 2015 calendars, memory books, etc., that you might be planning, as well as handmade cards for any and all occasions. Stay tuned!
