I am starting to feel small twinges of desire to sew, so I am sure I will be back at it soon. The only crafty thing I have to show today is some tags I made from Christmas cards that we received this year. Initially, I was going to just save them for next year. Then I decided to go ahead and do them now. Who knows if I will remember that I set the cards aside? A year is a long time, you know?
I used my Sizzix Big Shot for some of the tags, which I have had for over a year now and LOVE. It will cut fabric, felt, paper, and even aluminum cans. It is a very cool tool. Some of the cards I just used regular old scissors.
Now I have tags all ready for next year. Talk about planning ahead.
I have a guest post up today over at Ladybug Blessings so make sure to check it out.
Happy Crafty Tuesday everyone.

ok, i'm going to do mine before i put my cards "away" now too. how great it must feel to have something done for next christmas already! :-)
You are on the ball and have a head start for next year! GO JEN! And congrats on embracing the power of the word NO!
Those are really cute and yay keep saying No!
Happy New Year!

That is a cool machine, I've seen them but never really considered getting one. Do you think it would cut thru a cereal box?
Such a great idea. I have all my cards still sitting on the table- I felt bad about throwing them away. Well now I can put them to good use.
Jen,
It sounds funny already planning for Christmas THIS YEAR, but I am there with you too. There are so many things I never got around to last year and starting now will help w/not putting them off again.
It's very liberating to say no. Believe it or not, I can say it to others, but I have a hard time saying it to me when I want to take on just one more project.
