For my set of tags, I used Woodland Winter for the main image and the Jingle all the Way sentiment is from Banner Holidays, which coordinates with the Banner Day 1 Die, but in this case, I used the sentiment with one of the Blimps & Banners Dies - love how versatile these Banner sentiment sets are!  I started by stamping the squirrel in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Copic Markers.  The sentiment is stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves Ink.

The tag base is made from the Frame it Up 1 Die and then I layered the banner over a Winter Wonderland Snowflakes Die.  I tried something new for me with these tags too - a Viva Decor Pearl Pen!  I've always drooled over Danielle and Sankari's mad pearl accents skills and the Viva Decor Pearl Pen made it SO easy to add some fun little accents around my image.  Taylor has a fun video on this product and how to use it on her blog, HERE.  I used Ladybug Doodle Twine for the bow and threaded it through the cool metal wide eyelet.

Taylor has made it SUPER easy to get started on your tags for this Holiday season with a fun selection of Tags & Tag-a-Longs kits.  Each package contains the essentials needed to create your personalized tags - tag die cuts, jumbo eyelets, and a full roll of Doodle Twine!  Hop on over to Taylor's blog for all the juicy details.

Don't forget about the Black Friday sale at Taylored Expressions and be sure to enter in the TE drawing for a set of all the blog hop tags!  That's 10 tags already made and ready for you.  All the details are at the top of this post.
