The Friday Free For All challenge is to called Tag for a Friend and the idea is to make a tag that you feel represents your friend.  Then the feed came in for the Clean and Simple Challenge and when I saw the design I just KNEW I could combine the two to make a tag for my friend Connie Babbert over at Inkspired Treasures!

One of the things that Connie is really well known for is the folded half circle Christmas tree.  If you go to her site, and scroll down some on the right you will see the link for her template.  Now the tree she made was a bit larger but I did this with half of a 3” Silver Glimmer Circle I had sitting on my desk.  Took some fiddling to get it folded right but I think it works. 

Okay…some details.  I did a Whisper White tag from the 2 Tags Die in Whisper White and ran it through the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder.  I layered this on Pool Party and trimmed.  I did a partial 2 1/2” circle in the Pool Party Polka Dotted dsp and added to the tag and then added a Silver Glimmer edge along the left hand side.  I did the folded tree, added a Pool Party ‘trunk’ and attached to the tag.  I did the smallest snowflake from the Northern Frost decorative strip, added a large Rhinestone and added to the tag using dimensionals.  I stamped the greeting using Basic Grey, trimmed to look like a banner and added to the tag.  To finish it off I added a Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon and tied it with a piece of Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon.

So that my tag for my friend!  Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!
