A Passion for Papertrey Challenge – Tags!

Today marks a new challenge over on the A Passion For Papertrey challenge blog and this time it’s a tag challenge.  We want to see a tag of some kind on your creation and of course, as always, there must be PTI in there somewhere too!!
As I am now in proper panic mode in the run up to the BIG day – virtually every card that I create from now until December 24th (yes, I am NEVER completely in control) will be a Christmas card of some description.  This year I am not putting myself under pressure to make the usual 150 plus that I do every year.  I’m not a fan of the mass production approach as I get bored too easily so it’s rare I make the same card twice.  With that in mind I have set myself a target of 50 cards, all different for those people that I know will appreciate them.  For those distant relatives and friends of the family that I don’t really “know” but nevertheless exchange cards with every year, there will be a card, just not a special hand-crafted one!  I know that’s a bit naughty but I would rather put that time into making something for my dearest friends and family members who will feel that little bit more special knowing not every one got one!

I recently recieved my order which I made on 23rd July and which included the Stamp-a-faire exclusive set – Iconic Images.  What can I say – I LURVE this set.  It’s so different from any other set I have from PTI and I just can’t put it down!!

Hope you can play along with us this week.

ETA: I am entering for the first time in the Papercrafts August gallery challenge too as the theme is “Girly cards” – and this is a pretty girly looking card if you ask me!!!
