Tag! You're It! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Tag! You're It!" which just means that she wants to see tags. (Now, this is the part where I'd usually say, "How fun!" or "So cool!" or even some sort of pun if I could manage to turn one but.....well...... as everyone here at Huh. So This Is a Blog knows, I'm not pro-tag. It's not that I don't like them, per se, it's that I am absolutely horrible at making them. I once tried making them for our Christmas gifts, meaning the ones just at my own house for my immediate family.....so for kids who were like 5, 7 & 9 years old and a husband who doesn't give a lick about anything crafty I make, and I ended up taking them all off and going with the Dollar Store sticker tags instead, and breathing a sign of relief that I had made that decision and had saved Christmas. So, yeah.....let's just leave out that sentence where I'm excited 'bout this week's challenge, 'kay?)

Now, all that said, I have found a work around to my creative disability when it comes to tags. I've discovered that if I use a tag as part of a card, then I can do it, I can make something that's not retch-worthy. In the past I used to just do tiny tags with the sentiment on it, but lately, I've been a little bolder and used larger tags. And, this time, I pulled out all the stops (well, all the stops that I'm capable of making) and did this.....

Shazam!  Two tags!  And stamping.  Like with ink and a Misti, not with my computer.  I looooooove this holly stamp set from Stamplorations.  The outlines and the insides purposely don't match up and I think that's super awesome.  (It's especially super awesome seeing as I didn't stamp the two berries on the top tag all that great....but because of the stamp's wonderful design it all works out.)  Loving the font of the sentiment too.

And, despite not being very complimentary to Brenda's challenge choice at the beginning of this post, I must thank her for it.  I always feel very satisfied if I manage to make something I like for what I think of as a difficult challenge.  So, thanks, Brenda.  (:
