25 Days of Christmas Tags

Every year I make tags for the family gift exchange at Christmas. I’m never quite sure how many I’ll need, but I am sure it will be less than 25. Nonetheless, I’ll have no trouble using any additional tags for Christmas gifts. I’ve followed along with Tracey McNeeley’s 25 Tags project other years, but this is the first time I’ve participated. I got a late start, so will have to post most of these on Instagram to link them up to the 25 Tags post. Here’s a look at the first six:

And a closer look at each tag. Day 1:

One of the requirements is to choose one of the tags on Tracey’s blog as an inspiration piece. For Day 1 I chose the tags by Ankita Agrawal. Here’s a look at the two layers.

My guess is I’ll be posting these a few at a time. It’s already been a fun challenge!
