Project 365 #127 - Fall coloured Christmas tags

I did these tags for the Opus Gluei challenge, using the specified fall colours...brownish cranberry, green, yellow and orange... http://opus-gluei.blogspot.com/ . My tags have them all in small amounts for some and larger for others...I would have done something Thanksgivingish, but for us, that has been over for a month and it is hard to do a fall card when the ground is snow white, so Christmas tags it is....this also makes 529 projects for me this year...wahoo

project 365 #125 - plumber butt cards

I decided to jump in on the opus gluei challenge:http://opus-gluei.blogspot.com/ with a "Manly" type card...a good break from the bazillion christmas projects i have been doing...these are nothing special, but kind of cheeky...get it? ha ha..it's late and snowing, that leads to the bad humour....so the phrases that went with these ones are "no cracks about your age...promise" and on the inside it says "bummer" and the other one is "birthdays are like wedgies, they just keep creeping up on you"...gotta love the funny birthday cards, even if the embellishing is weak....
