What do you do when life hands you a bowl of lemons...why you scrap of course.
Below I have Days 3 & 4 inspired tags from Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas. On Day 3, we created a plaid background using Alcohol Inks by Ranger. Very, very cool technique. I can definitely vouch that you need glossy cardstock and not photo paper. I tried both and the alcohol inks just blend in with the photo paper and there is no plaid effect created. Stamps on this tag are by Inkadinkado.

The Tag from Day 4 had the most adorable birdhouse created from several of the Inkssentials and Idea-Ology trinkets. I'm not sure how his brain thinks up these things, but I'm glad he does. I used more stamps from Inkadinkado on this tag below. The image in the birdhouse is vintage ephemera from Crafty Secrets. I decided to use a softer background for my tag and create more of a story with the birds and birdhouse, instead of the Christmas collage background that Tim chose. I used Old Paper and Tattered Rose to ink the background with Fired Brick and Walnut Stain for the edges.

Your tags are just lovely CHeryl - especially the one with the birdhouse!
