Joy, Love and Gifts by Jean Okimoto

Cards are done, the tree is decorated, cookies are baked...let's make quick gift tags today! Hi - happy last-weekend-before-Christmas - Jean Okimoto here with a few more ideas featuring my favorite holiday and everyday dies from Memory Box and Open Studio.

The Celadon Skinny Chemist Cup - from Birch Press Design - holds some berried Nandina branches in the background. Have you visited their site to check out their new items and specials lately? Maybe you'll find the perfect gift for a special someone - you! Birch Press Design is owned by Dave and Monica Brethauer, owners of Memory Box. Their classic style and appreciation of fine design is reflected in the selection of beautiful products there too.

Here are the directions for the tags - from left to right, top to bottom (bullet points aren't working - they must be on Christmas vacation today!)
