Don't know if anybody else has been eating Christmas leftovers as I have the last few days. Thank goodness they are almost gone.
But I also find I have a lot of craftable (don't think that's actually a word) leftovers as well. For instance, the paper liners from the Fannie May candy box. I used them to make my flower on this week's tag.

So your challenge this week is to use some leftover Christmas tidbit -- maybe a tag from a gift you received, a scrap of pretty Christmas wrapping paper, some packaging that looks interesting.
It doesn't need to be a Christmas tag -- just use some Christmas leftover on it.

And if you've cleaned up your house so well already that none of this is laying about, then I guess you are out of luck for this week's challenge.
Have fun making tags this week!

Such a clever use of a left-over, love recycling! Your tag is very inventive!
I usually tidy up quite quickly, if only I had known beforehand - will have to have a good think about this one!
Fun tag Louise and great use of scraps.I havent even thought about cleaning up yet, well thought about it but its all still there. I'll be back soon to play.
For the first time - I was first to join the challenge! Will it ever happen again?!
What a great idea for a tag, Louise! We have a bag ready to collect the papers as we open up the gifts, so my pickings were slim. The trash has already gone out.
Wonderful recycling, your tag looks beautiful.
I think your tag is soo cute and a great recycler! Ilove using tidbits!
Wonderful idea!
I am saving some of my cards to do more!!!
Happy 2011!!!
Thanks for the fun!!!
I got one wrapped gift for Christmas and the paper was thrown out that day. ;-) However, I decided to use paper and ribbon that I had used for wrapping.
Love the use of those candy wrapper holder thingies :) And yes, I'm still eating leftovers TOO! LOL
Great tag, Louise; love the candy wrapper rosette! This was a cinch for me - I save everything!
This week's tag
Lolely tag Louise!
Your inspiration tag is so gorgeous, Louise. Sorry, I forgot to comment on it earlier.
Pretty tag! I'm sure I have scraps around here somewhere....
Great recycling idea! Santa will be so proud of us!
Great idea for a recycled tag. I used some of the scraps from the Belgian chocolates that we received from a friend. It is sooo creamy and delish that it makes me sick:) I mean somebody has to eat it so it might as well be ME,,,,right!!! So I recycled the brochure and some of the wrappers onto a tag.....I will make some more of these ...just to get this "poison" out of my house and I can get back to eating proper things like veggies and fish:)
My first tag challenge! So much fun! I must admit I was intimidated with all those artistic creations!
Love the challenge, Louise! Great fun. Cheers!
Love the recycling idea!
Love your use of candy wrappers!! I have saved those before, but never could think of what to do with them.
Oh, and thanks for offering to cut me some bird cages. Mary-Beth is sending me some, plus I ordered the die (couldn't help it), so I'm all set! :-)
Happy New Year to you!!
wonderful tag as always Louise - I just wanted to pop by and wish you a wonderful new year! Look forward to seeing what you will be creating in 2011
Fab idea. Although I really wanted to be done with my Christmas stamping. :) Love your tag and your re-cycling!
Thanks for such a fun challenge. I didn't have a lot of leftovers to work with but that just made it more interesting. Love your tag.
A great Christmas recycling project. Your tag looks brilliant.
Great challenge, Louise, and yours is superb! Love this idea!
All for the love of art. LOL
I loved this idea. I always keep the ribbon from presents!
