I liked this tag so well after writing the tut that I decided to share some snags of it.

I made this snag set with artwork of Marika which can be purchased from Creative Design Outlet. The scrap kit I used is a PTU kit by Vickie's Scraps, "Pink Christmas" which can be purchased HERE and HERE. 

Enjoy ♥

I made this snag set with artwork of Misticheskaya which can be purchased from Pics For Design. I also used a Ptu cluster frame by Chilipepper Spiced. And I added a few extra elements from the matching kit "Warm Winter Glow" by AmyMarie
