I loved the embossed clockwork on featured artist Marion's tag and imagine my surprise when I discovered a clockwork stencil in my stash! That was the first feature I decided to copy on my tag but since there was a big snowstorm in the forecast that made me think of winter and not summer flowers, I used a poinsettia and made a Christmas tag instead.
Incidentally the snowstorm ended up being a dud around here. First impressions had a forecast of 12 to 18 inches of the white fluffy stuff but, fortunately for me, the storm tracked further west than originally thought and I ended up with about 6 inches of snow followed by a lot of rain. And the reason why I had so much extra time in my stamp room is because my boss cancelled work in an anticipation of all that snow
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, I like this tag Jen!! That layered poinsettia is beautiful!! We had 6-8" here. Schools were closed for two days. Glad you didn't get hammered!!
Love your beautiful tag and the pretty poinsettia.
Oh I adore your tag. The dark red with the kraft looks fabulous! I wish I had thought of making a Christmas tag. I never make them ahead of time!!
Love your tag Jen. Great colour combo and that poinsettia is wonderful :)
