A quick challenge! (7gypsies: A Very Vintage Christmas)

So, this morning when I woke up, I checked my Facebook feed, and noticed an update from 7gypsies: "LAST DAY to enter the Very Vintage Christmas challenge on the 7G blog!"  I had missed the original challenge announcement (I blame my RSS reader, which has been wonky lately!), but I decided I'd give it a try anyway!

Here's the challenge (for me, at least!):  My local stores carry some 7gypsies products (indeed, I own some of their papers and stamp sets), but I didn't have any of their Christmas papers, and I wasn't sure if I'd find any.  After work today, I went out on the hunt, and managed to find a few sheets at Joann!  Success!  That, and a well-chosen gypsy pack, led to:


Materials/tools used:
 - Ranger Inkssentials Manila Craft Tags
 - 7gypsies Gypsy Pack: Vintage Market
 - 7gypsies Calender Tickets
 - 7gypsies Santa's Journey Collection: Santa's Trunk
 - Maya Road Twine Cording: Tomato Red
 - Dymo label maker
 - Tonic Craft Scissors
 - Single-hole punch
 - Double-stick tape from my stash

It felt really weird for me to create a tag without any stamps on it anywhere, but I have to say, once I figured how my layout, it sure came together fast!  Hope you like it!

'Til next time!
