Day 8 - Sleigh Ride

Day 8 of the 12 Tags of Christmas at Ellen Hutson is Sleigh Ride. 

I seriously spent more than an hour hunting through my studio for a sleigh.  I found a couple of Santa in his Sleigh, but that's not really what this song is about.  Finally, I found a vintage photo of a sleigh ride in my Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Ephemera Packet, so I built my tag around it.

I die cut my Tag using the largest Tag Stacklets 2 Die from Taylored Expressions from Wood Grain designer paper from Simple Stories Color Vibe Woods that I thought worked perfectly with the vintage image.  

 

 

I then used a very vintage doily from my stash along the edge before attaching my vintage image with foam tape.  I tucked a few tickets from the same ephemera pack behind.  Since the lyrics to the song encompass lots of the joyful things about winter, I used Be Joyful from the Tim Holtz Christmas Label Stickers. 

I used a tiny star punch at the top of my tag and finished with some waxed thread.

Since every single elements on my card falls into Never Been Used Schtuff, I'm also linking-up at Little Red Wagon.
