We’ve all done it – either forgotten about a Christmas party, or decided to go to one at the last minute. Well, today I did the latter. I ran out to the liquor store and bought a bottle of wine, but I decided I wanted to bring a little something else. Mostly because I changed my mind so late about the party, I haven’t RSVP’d. Oops. I thought I’d be more tired than I am right now, it’s not that I didn’t want to go!
So I’ve been practicing my Copic colouring, mostly with my Magnolia stamps. This has left me with lots of little Tildas all coloured, with nowhere to go. They’re all cut out and sitting a little dish on my desk.
I decided to give a jar of homemade jam (I have plenty of that around here – I don’t know how many relatives I thought I had when I made all this stuff….) and came up with this to go on it:
The green was a scrap just lying on my desk (not tidying it gives me inspiration!), but it wasn’t long enough to go all the way around the jar, so I did this:
All I had to do was stick the two bits of ribbon to the cardstock, and use some foam adhesive for Tilda. I couldn’t stick her directly to the cardstock because the lid of the jam sticks out, and bent her head forward
The jam, if anyone is curious, is Spiced Wine Peach jam from my canning frenzy in September. 
I think this fits the Little Stamp Shoppe’s December challenge of ‘create a gift tag’ – it’s not your traditional ‘tag’ shape, but it certainly fulfills the purpose of a gift tag, namely it gets tied to a gift, with the recipient’s name on.
