I'm a little sad it's coming to an end. It's been so much fun sharing my tags with you over the past twelve days. And I am so thankful to my Guest Designers. Their tags have all been amazing and I appreciate them taking the time to help me with this event. A big thank you and virtual warm hug to each and every one of my fabulous Guest Designers!
I'm here with my last Mixed Media Christmas tag for the event ... along with THREE fabulous tags made by my wonderful Guest Designers. We hope that you'll come join us by linking up your own tag below. The link-up will remain open for another week to give participants lots of time to make a tag and join in. Hope to see you in gallery!! :)

Welcome to Bonnie (Stamping with Klass). Bonnie and I are team mates at Happy Little Stampers, designing cards for the CAS challenge as well as for the new line of stamps. Bonnie is an extremely talented card artist making mostly CAS designs. But she is flexing her creative muscles and joining me again this year with an amazing mixed media tag. Make sure to check out Bonnie's blog to see how she made the gorgeous tag below.

Ohhh ... I LOVE all the shine from this tag filled with gold deliciousness! Thank you Bonnie! xx

I'm also joined today by Ingrid (Ingrid's Crafts Corner). Ingrid is so talented and I have learned a lot from her. She experiments with lots of different mixed media products and freely shares her knowledge on her blog. She is also a designer for "Simply Cards and Papercraft" magazine. Check out Ingrid's blog to get all the details on how she made this amazing tag!
This is so beautiful Ingrid! I love all the texture and sparkle of your background .. and your poinsettia is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much!! xx

And now for the final tag. This beautiful creation is from my friend, Pamellia (My Little Craft Things). Isn't it amazing??!! Pamellia makes the most gorgeous layered creations. Every detail is so well thought out and perfectly done. Not only does she make beautiful cards, tags, and sculptures ... but she also makes a lot of her own mixed media products and freely shares her "recipes" on her blog for her embossing pastes and more. She has just ventured into making video tutorials, so check out Pamellia's Channel on YouTube --- you'll be glad you did. You'll find all the details for Pamellia's stunning tag on her blog.
Pamellia
LOVE the soft, delicate blue background paired with your white accents and then dramatic edging of black ... WOW!! Thanks Pamellia! xx

Dear Loll, thank you for organising this event full of inspiration! That was real fun to play along :)
Loll, wow I am in love. This last tag is just perfect. I so have to get some of this Inca gold, I can see why you love it. Now back to the tag, the gold and that green work perfectly, I love every layer of gold and sparkly green. I cant thank you enough or the inspiration you have given me in my venture into tags. And your guest designers have all been amazing. I cant get over this last collection, it makes me wish I could do the same. Each one I looked at has so many wonderful elements.
I also have a on that loves what I do and will ask for particular cards that he wants to keep for himself and always so full of praise for what I do. It is a lovely feeling isnt it.
Thank you for your kind words and thank for another wonderful event! There are so many amazing entries I do not envy your son's job!
Your tag is once again so gorgeous! I love your smooshing technique!
Wonderful tags from Bonnie & Pamellia! Big hugs to you all!
