There were a couple of dark draft tags in the kit and I immediately decided that they should be used for holiday cards! One of the little Ormalu flapper is "each and every day" which is just way too perfect as a sentiment for any card! I paired it with the tiny letters from Echo Park and created this card. A fair amount of 3-d foam adhesive is used, and you can see the depth on the close-up photo.Next up is a failure apparently. I asked DH if he could tell for which occasion is this card. He stared at it for 10 minutes and told me that he had no idea! Really? I was a little appalled! Maybe I should have moved the number stickers closer together, but I thought the gingerbread man would have been a good clue that it's a Christmas card? Ugh, like I said, apparently, this one is a failure! 

I put a couple of 3-d foam adhesive behind the little number flags to make them stay "flapped."
Then I have this relatively obvious holiday card using three tiny tags. I wonder if the non-traditional colors are what threw DH off in the previous one? 

Lastly I will sneak in one more card that isn't a holiday card, but kinda cute anyway.I have thoroughly enjoyed making these cards. I hope this weekend will bring me some needed inspiration and creative energy. My parents are leaving in just a few days to spend their winter in Shanghai and I will have significantly less free time soon! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

My hubby says I am supposed to come and give you my condolences on the Vikes game yesterday. He was listening to it at work. ;) Thanks for the comment on my blog!! :) I would like to say I was trying to be all professional and get that pro look, but I think it was inability to straighten it when putting it up.
Thanks Jing! for noticing my mission in action for the moment...I was on vacation with family...I wish you could come down to Malaysia for holiday...
really like how you used those tags and the non traditional colors are really cool. wonderful work, Jing-Jing!
