PTI October 2013 Blog Hop





The Papertrey October blog hop challenge this month was to make a set of 5 tags.  I had the idea to make several sets and then package them up in a cute way to use as teacher gifts.  I got through 3 sets before running out of time for the blog hop.  But, there is certainly enough time before Christmas break to make more sets.  In fact, I'm sure that I will get lots of inspiration when I see what everyone else did for this blog hop.



My first set of tags uses Peaceful Pinecones.  They are not all exactly alike, but I think they look like they belong together.  The sentiments are from Holiday Lights, and the To/From stamps are from To You From Me.  The bells are from Michaels, and there is a bit of prisma glitter on each of the pinecones.



And, here they are all packaged up:






My next set of tags uses Holiday Lights, with Glossy Accents on the lights.




Here they are packaged up, this time in a glassine bag with a topper I made using one of the Edger dies.





My last set of tags uses Two Feet Deep.  Instead of using a tag sale die, I just used the sled.  I put a folded partially die cut piece behind the sled where the person could write a message.





I did not get a chance to package these up, but I will.  I am thinking I prefer the little box.

Well, that's it for me.  I am flying up to Northern California to get together with my college girlfriends for the weekend.  We have been doing this for more than 20 years.  I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend of lots of talking, eating, laughing and drinking.  So, I'll be hopping either Sunday night or Monday, when I get home.


Thanks for Visiting

What a wonderful post my dear!
