Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Christmas Tags Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends.  Our theme this week is Christmas Tags. As I was thinking about the design of my tags, I thought I would add a pocket tag holder too!

The Christmas Tags & More Designer Paper was absolutely perfect for my project this week. You can see with the two photos below how I created each tag and flipped them over to the backside where you can write on the white space:
