You Make Me Smile For DS92 and PPA154

I made this tag Thursday night while the wind was howling and the snow was blowing around.  I was really hoping that after the blizzard we had at the beginning of February we had met our quota for snow this winter but apparently Mother Nature is not done with us yet!  The snow is expected to continue throughout the day and I really hope I don't come home from work to find a driveway that is so filled with snow that I can't pull my car into it.

But enough about lousy weather.  I've got a fun tag to share with you today!

Last year I discovered the joy of making tags and when I saw the Deconstructed Sketch this week there was no way I was going to miss it.  And yesterday was also the day the color challenge went up at Pals Paper Arts.  Obviously I had to combine the two!

I'm really pleased with how this turned out and after I made it I realized that I don't necessarily have to use this in the traditional "tag" sense.  I don't think it needs to be fixed to the front of a gift with the traditional "to/from" stamped on it somewhere.  I actually think that this would make a nice focal point on a card front.  So now I've discovered a whole new (to me) way to think about tags!

Thanks for stopping by!  And if you're visiting from the New England area I hope you stay safe until the storm passes.
