Oh my, so much inspiration already, and this is only day 1. Your tags are great to get started and to loosen up the creative muscles, but I also spotted a few stamps that I own and that are begging to be inked up and coloured in using my new Copics (also perfect for Kathy's 30D colouring challenge).

Hoping to play along again this year! Thanks to you and the guys for all the fun, Jo x
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow!! These are all FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! So much to be inspired by here Tracey. It's going to be hard to choose which one to go with. Love the purple on you sweet snowflake tags. Thanks for all your hard work putting this fun challenge together. Happy tag making!
ReplyDeleteAll tags are awesome and I love love Shari's tag too. Thanks for inviting us to the party, Tracey! My honor♡ Hugs♡
ReplyDeleteI have been so looking forward to the start of this tag party! Today I'm ooohing and aaahing over Shari's exquisite Tim Holtz tag design! WOW Shari! So much inspiration and I can't wait to CASE this tag. It's awesome to see the other SSS-W challenge designer's projects too! Hugs, Autumn
ReplyDeleteLove all the tags. I always enjoy your 25 Day of Christmas Tag.
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey and Thank YOU for organizing this event again this year. I always learn so much and get so inspired by the DT's tags.I am a HUGE fan of tags ALL year through but Christmas is of course when you need the most, all at the same time and I like making different ones rather than mass producing. So this is one hop I try not to miss. However, today consisted of a long line up (not complaining by any means) so I hope I can find time to check them all out each day as I hate to miss any. They are ALL amazing. Great work by all of the designers!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to this every year for it inspires me to start creating for Christmas. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove all the tags and your pretty purple ones too. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start with Day 1! All are so inspiring! Love your take with pretty snowflakes and purple hues!
ReplyDeleteYaay! I look forward to 25 days of BEAUTIFUL tags for holiday inspiration that lasts all year! THANK YOU SO MUCH for organizing all of this for us Tracey!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great tags today. But if I have to choose a favorite . . . it's the moose! Guy tags are sometimes hard. The moose is perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many gorgeous and cute tags. Hugz
ReplyDeleteOh my... So many inspirations to follow. Hope I am able to link my tags too.
ReplyDeleteWowie, so much beautiful inspiration! I am inspired by just about everything! lol I love how Kim curled her ribbons. Love the darling moose! Shari's tag is so beautifully dimensional. I look forward to participating again this year; so fun! Thanks, Tracey!
