Christmas in the Bank "Sandi's Challenge"

Hello Friends!1
Happy Tuesday!!
I am so excited to share with you something that one of my bestest buddies Sandi came up with.
 (Actually Sandi was the first person that I met...that gave me the opportunity to be part of a Design Team.  Now...I was not on the actual DT, but I was helping her with  her group, which lead to me being on my first DT at Bella Creations.  Some of you may remember that.  It is a group of galz I have stayed close with).
It is called
She has all the details of it on her blog. I think it is worth your time to read her post!!
Her first challenge is to crate at least a dozen Christmas tags.
Here is my first set of tags, I have created.  I will share the rest of my tags through out the next couple days.
Pin It!
I found a Christmas image from Karen the Graphics Fairy.
I used GIMP to create a Christmas Tag Collage sheet.
If you refer back to my photo of my 3 finished tags above, you will see that in the collage sheet you get "2" larger tags, "1" medium and "1" small tag.  
Here are the medium and small tags.  I used Ranger's Distress inks in peeled paint, and vintage photo.  I also distressed the edges with my kraft knife.  I did simple embellishments.
Above is a close up of the top of the larger tag....and Below is a close up of the bottom of the large tag.
These are just 3 of my 12 tags (which I will share the rest through out the week).
I hope that you will see that by taking part in Sandi's Challenge we are all winners...and that when Christmas comes next year...we will all be ahead of the game!  
Actually I have decided that anyone who goes to Sandi's blog...and participates in the challenge, will be placed in a Random drawing...and will win a free digital collage sheet of their choice from my Etsy store.  
So...hop on over and visit Sandi's blog.
I have even put a
video to show you how to link up to Sandi's Challenge via her comments.  

So check it out...you may find this useful for other reasons.
I will be sharing with
Thank you for visiting!!
Hugs
Heather
