Christmas Flag

Hello Everyone.
You will all know that the 12 Tags Funkie Junkie Style is now finished,  (you can see my Flags for my banner on the page above the blog post).
My banner has two sides and I have not completed it, so I have to continue under my own steam and look for inspiration elsewhere, which is not difficult, as it is everywhere.
So this is Flag No 13- unlucky for some...... yuk a dreadful cliché.

I am also entering this into the Papertake Weekly Challenge..... 'Pick of the Year'  sponsored by The Ribbon Girl.

 'To pick your fave challenge of this last year', so I chose March-Bingo and my choice was Die-cut- free- Glitter.
Die-cut - Spellbinders 'Ribbon Banners' for the sentiment, and the Cheery-Lynn Holly Flourish
Free - image.
Glitter- on my Holly leaves.

The sentiment says Merry Christmas in Maori. (Native language of NZ.).
The Bg is stamped tissue  paper and applied with matte medium. 
Then dry embossed.
I cannot remember where the image is from, I have so many of them sitting in a box.



And that's it for 2012, I only wish the best for you all, it would be great to think that tragedies of the last week in the USA will not happen  again, but sadly I doubt this will be the case. 
Please spare a moment of thought for these families, who have lost a precious one on Christmas day, and be thankful for all that you have.
Smiles:)
Sue
