WMSC #78 Santa Dangling Star Tag

 Hi!  I hope everybody is having a good weekend!  I'm on my own today so I thought I'd try to get in some crafty time.  I know this week is going to fly by!  The kids are home from school and lots of last minute running around to do.   I am playing along with the WMSC this week.  I saw the star image and thought it would make a great tag for some gifts.  My daughter teaches religious education to a group of kindergartners and packed some goodies in purple and red patterned Chinese take out boxes as a small gift for them.  She asked me to come up with a nice tag to put on the packages that would appeal to the kids so of course I went with good ol' St. Nick.  And boy I hope they've been good for her or I'm never going to be a grandma! 

This one was another trixie to photograph!  The paper is dark and it's got nothing to stand on!!  I just gathered up some beaded garland and stood it up in one of the loops.  To make this tag  I enlarged the image and hand cut it out of purple swirl paper.  I adhered that to some gold foil and cut it out again to give me a little bigger surface to work on.  I added a glittery St. Nick and I linked some die cut stars together with twine and let them hang freely to the side of the image.  I hope you like it and that you are finding time to play along this week.  All the details are just a click away!  http://waltzingmousesketchchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/12/challenge-78december-17-2011.html
