We're so glad you could join us for the final Pals Blog Hop of 2012! Today the Stampin' Pretty Pals are excited to celebrate all of our favorite occasions of the year! And what's a little celebration without some sparkle?!

Today I am sharing some Christmas tags with you:-) I made these for my mother-in-law to go with her homemade Christmas cookies that she gives away!

Lately, I am drawn to girly stuff, and this doily is just so pretty! Why not use as a tag!? :-)

I just got the Evergreen stamp set, I hadn't realized that one of the tree images is my favorite Christmas song, Silent Night, until recently! Ha ha:-D

I thought it might be fun to use one of the Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Dies for a tag. You get to open it like a little present;-) I even added those tiny tags like a real present:-)

Here is the back of the Evergreen tag and the Peekaboo tag.

This one is a 2"x2" mini card/tag. This Chocolate Chip owl got to dress up with a Santa suit and a party hat. The Santa suit is from the Tags Til Christmas set. I simply stamp the image, then used the Owl Builder Punch.
