The distressing technique works on cards too!
I might be the first person to distress with colored pencils – if you know someone else doing this, let me know!
24 Tags of Christmas 2018
Each year I make 24 tags – and give them away in a random drawing! This year I’ll be trying things a little differently; in the past I picked 2 people from YT comments and 2 from blog comments….but I found a lot of the YT folks never came to find out they won, and I had no idea how to reach them in many cases. So…this year, it’s all about blog comments where I can at least reach out to winners! So leave comments on each blog post this week for the opportunity to be in the drawing!

I love all your ideas and have tried so many of them. Thank you for sharing your talent. 🙂
Great idea, the distressing with colored pencils.
So so cute! Thanks for sharing
Who would have thought to use coffee!!
I think these tags look a little like luggage tags – so appropriate when so many are traveling at this time of the year — and I’d travel anywhere for coffee! Great set of tags – thanks!
I’m glad I just found you and your lovely tags.
I love your ideas, talents.
Thanks Sandy for showing us how to use all our art supplies! Gotta try this one 🙂
Hello. I love your videos. I was wondering what the difference is between baby oil and gamsol. Is baby oil thicker than gamsol, or about the same. I noticed (and you mentioned) the cotton ball in the baby oil. (Is baby oil cheaper than gamsol and/or easier to find?)
Thankfor your videos.
very cute
