My workspace today finally shows signs of Christmas - yes, at last! I made a start at the weekend - clambered behind the first row of boxes to get to the Christmas stash - dug out some of my favourites - Christmas = Penny Black here!! It's the only time I do "cute" ..... so my space has out some of the stamps I'll be using this year
I nearly ran out of time with this one so it's a very basic one layer tag - used distress stains in scattered straw and bundled sage and the fans are on a Judikins cube stamp. The Asian script is from a Paperartsy plate. Found the oval picture in a book of ephemera bits and bobs. Check out the rest when the challenge posts around noon. We enjoyed seeing your romance last week!

Great stuff on the Chrimbo front and lovely cards - that ink is indeed oh so lovely... I'm still contemplating the big make or supporting a charity! A really great tag and the perfect image for that stamp. Thanks for sharing today, Sarah at 2.

It's funny how we stroll through different techniques and save some for other times. I do cute when I need to do a lot, your cards are looking great and will be appreciated whereever they go

Have a nice week!

I really like those three elegant trees on the stamp - those are the cards I'd go for if they were on sale in a shop. Very smart :)
Your Chinese tag is lush as well, I'm getting more into Oriental stuff recently. The only fabric I've found tends to be quite garish though, like cheong sam dress fabric...ah well, I'll keep looking!
Hugs, LLJ #45 xx

Well damn me, you do cute and traditional for Christmas. Colour me spruce! Love the idea of you rummaging for Christmas stuff behind the first row of boxes..takes an act of will..!
As I wont be staring the troll through the list til tonight other wise I wont know where is endish is, I thought I'd pop by visitors and a few regulars first. Love seeing your Xmas desk with all the stamps ...and then your gorgeous cards ...but that tag almost defies superlatives ...I'll just say WOW.xx
Great stamps and fab cards - the DI colours are gorgeous. Your tag is lovely - love the combination of stamps used. Elizabeth x #78

I'm a bit late today on my journey round the desks (shopping day - new handbag) but am trying to get round as many as I can.
Love those distress inks but haven't succumbed to the winter ones yet. Aren't you a good girl doing so many C cards - and it's only November.

You always impress me with your Christmas card making! "I've just started... and made 50!" And they all look fabulous! :D
I am always so so late with my Christmas card making! Love the snowman one of yours in particular :)
Those cards are fantastic, can't believe they are made from stamps. Love your desk, a mess to my own heart.
What beautiful Holiday cards! Happy WOYWW #18 ~Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
Stamps look great
Bridget #29
Your cards & tag look fab Helen! I got those winter DIs this week, but haven't played yet, colours look lovely though! xx
Some great inspiration here Helen and you have reminded me of a few stamps I've not see for a while and need to dig out.
Hope you are OK.
What will Sunday bring I wonder, not sure if I dare watch. And I don't like the sound of what's going on with Stevie, all sounds very add to me.

I am feeling so underprivilaged at the moment. Am I the only one who doesnt have the new seasonal inks?
Lovely cards and who can resist Penny Black at Christmas!
Thanks for your visit!
Lovely pastel Christmas cards you have on there but I must say I love the Tag you have done - rather steals the show. I think the idea of the round part at the top is spectacular.
Hugs, Neet '#9
Those are some good looking cards! I love Penny Black at Christmas, okay I love Penny Black full stop lol. I used to eschew all cuteness until I had my Daughter and I found House Mouse stamps. So I love House Mouse and Penny Black, but I'm still Grumpy :D.
So gorgeous, Helen.
Nice work Helen - Thanks for sticking with me - maybe I can get around to an Asian tag this week
Wow. You have been busy! I think I will be buying most of my Christmas cards this year, the rate I'm going. Fab tag.

For being number 1 this week, I'm awfully late visiting. I'm so sorry I'm late, but, after a computer crash I had to stop by and get a bit of inspiration from your lovely Christmas cards. They are all super, but of course, I love the trees the best.
Love your one layer tag Helen.... mine nearly always are just one layer!
All the crimbo cards.... well done you!
Hope you are feeling ok.
love lynx
