LAD DT Challenge ... Holiday Tags & Packages

It's that time again for the monthly Lizzie Anne Design Team Challenge.  I love the challenges that the LAD girls come up with & this one is perfect for me ~ Holiday Tags.  I used the tag image from the December Monthly Mix (Warm Wishes). Since it is such a easy and simple tag, I wanted to do more with the packaging.  I gathered up my supplies ~ kraft packing paper (office supply store), a medium to large snowflake stamp (I used an image from the November '09 Mix ~ Christmas Wishes), and some dark brown ink.  I rolled out my paper on a flat surface and stamped my snowflakes.  You'll want to stamp them somewhat close together & keep the stamp handy in case you need to add a few more after you wrap the box.  HOWEVER, be careful stamping directly on your package because the surface may not be even and you may end up with only a partial image ~ not that I've ever had that happen ~ ;). Once my packages were wrapped, I added some pretty fabric ribbon, added the tag, and VOILA ~ easy peasy!

For my gift bag, I used the snowflake from the Love & Joy Labels set to stamp all over the bag.  I added a strip of pattern paper (Echo Park) with a brown scallop border and some fun pom-pom trim.  I added the tag to the bag with Glue Dots and then more fabric ribbon to tie the gift bag in with the rest of the packages.
