Weekend taggers challenge-week 43-purple

I haven't joined in with the tag challenge for a while so I thought I would have a go this week... the theme is purple and crikey it's difficult to tell what's purple in my stash cos there are so many different shades of it... pinky purples, lilacs and blue purples... and there was I thinking I didn't have any purple at all...how wrong can you be. Must have been the sun peeping out from the clouds... melting what's left of the snow and addling me brain at the same time :D
I couldn't just go with purple though as I spied this ribbon that my pal Chriss gave me as a gift a while back and I've been dying to use it on something and I thought it would look pretty on my tag.
The papers are Heidi Grace and the little girl eating the cookie is from Lisa's altered art.... I could sooooo totally steal that cookie off her right now, but I guess looking into those huge eyes I would be kicking myself with guilt as soon as I'd done it...lol
My computer has been playing silly beggars today and it's taken me hours to sort it out... I thought I had a virus cos everything kept shutting down in the middle of doing my stuff and I've been tearing my hair out... and when I'm stressed... I WANNA EAT waaaaaaah!!
It seems to have sorted itself out now after 4 re-starts and a system restore so fingers crossed I will have no more problems for a while. Can't live with them... can't live without them... much the same as your other half eh...lol
See you soon

Christmas tag... (weekend taggers challenge)

Well I've been going to join in with the weekend taggers challenge for a while so I've succumbed this week. The lovely Kath has set this weeks tag challenge which is Red and Green. Well seeing as my favourite colour is red... how could I resist... I just had to make one :D
I used Ellie again from Cen's crafty bits... but this time just the outline printable so I could colour her in myself and colour a matching sledge which I filled with handcut snowballs :D

I love the fact that you can print out smaller images onto A5 or A6 paper so that they fit in with various projects such as this tag, atc's and inchies as well as cards. I also added my bling and ribbon on top of some red netting to give it a feel of luxury and I'm going to use this tag on one of DD's Christmas pressies :D Need to make lots more for DG's gifts too so think I had better get cracking...don't you :D

Have a fun day
