Layout: Sweetest Flower

I taught this layout as a class at the Paper & Co Show in France and I had a lot of fun seeing the different outcomes of this layout. The photo shows the youngest of my three godsons- such a cutie :)

Last Minute Christmas Tags *SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L*

It is this time of the year where we are celebrating the holidays with our loved ones and as all of you I’m looking forward to spend lot’s of time with them. Nonetheless the last days before Christmas are filled with lot’s of tasks – and one of them is wrapping up the gifts and labeling them. I love doing my own tags for Christmas gifts

Christmas2010_01_3L

This year I used all kind’s of scraps that were still laying around my craft area to build up some tags and my trusty SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L products helped me creating them in a fast and easy way.

I used a sheet of Adhesive sheets and used it partly on the paper doily.

ChristmasTag_01

Then I sprinkled some German Glitter on top.

ChristmasTag_02

Then I sprayed a Tattered Angels Tag and as you need a very trusty tacky Adhesive to place it on top of the German Glitter – I happily took out my Crafty Power Tape.
ChristmasTag_03

Voila – the tag sticks perfectly on top of the glitter doily.

ChristmasTag_04

To create a rosetta I used some Tattered Angels Crepe Paper and the MyStik Permanent Strip Dispenser and run it around a scalloped piece of scrap paper.
ChristmasTag_05

To add some dimension I used the 3D Foam Squares to apply the scallop on top.

ChristmasTag_06

I also used the Click’n Stick Mounting Squares clear and folded them together to use them to stick down the flower on top. They are awesome to use for buttons as well.

ChristmasTag_07

There are many possibilties to create a Christmas tag – just count on your SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L products and all will be looking good ?
