I'm finished.....

with the 12 Tags of Christmas Funkie Junkie style challenge!  I actually finished this past weekend, but I have been having too much fun with all of my Christmas preparations to have time to post.  

Here are a few photos of my week 12 piece:

 

I was so excited by the charm on Linda's inspiration tag, because I just recently ordered this set of charms from the Funkie Junkie Boutique, the sponsor of this challenge.  I was very happy to have a reason to use them so quickly! 

I used the snowflake, larger jingle bell and garment pin from the shop as is, and then I altered one of the tiny brass jingle bells ( that I got from the Funkie Junkie last year!) with Brushed Silver Distress Paint.  I just couldn't resist using one more! 

 

I found altered this big acrylic snowflake with Mushroom alcohol ink (my new favorite) to age it a bit while keeping the shine, and attached it to a kraft background with a long brad.  I dry embossed the kraft with snowflakes, and added a bit of White Picket Distress stain to highlight them.

 

I added some color to some seasonal chit chat stickers with a watercolor pencil, and outlined them with a charcoal pencil.

This piece is another favorite of mine! Here is Linda's tag:

Although my background is quite different, I was able to incorporate a quite a few of Linda's elements into my little piece. 

I'm not going to share photos of the printer's trays today, as I am planning a follow up post showing them 100 percent complete.  I have a couple of details left to add, but basically, I'm finished, and incredibly excited to wrap them and put them under the tree for my girls.  (Here's a link to the finished project: Finished Printer's Trays)

I want to thank Linda for this exciting challenge!  It is honestly my favorite crafting experience this year.  I also would like to thank everyone who has visited and left lovely comments.  I very much appreciate them! 

Luckily for me, I am on vacation, and will have time to catch up on visits to see how all the other participants have been inspired. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
