Welcome to Day 8 of the Family Tag Feud! (Yes, we’re still a day behind…I guess we’re stretching out the fun to make it last a bit longer!)
If you have any questions about how the tags are made, we will probably wait to answer most of them in the reveal at the end so that we can answer without trying to hide the identity of the artist. But in the meantime…ask away!
Today we both tried to do some somewhat new things for us, and some trial – and error – was the result before we finally produced the tags we are posting. It’s amazing how long – and how many steps – it can take to produce something that looks to the eye to be very simple.
Well, let’s take a look at what we came up with today…the tag stash is getting pretty thick. I hope the binder ring I’m planning to use will hold them all when I’m ready to arrange them all nicely!

it’s getting harder to choose.
This has been so much fun to watch and vote. Hope you are enjoying the creative time together. Thanks for sharing with is.
I love them both. It’s getting harder to choose a favorite! Awesome job you two!
GREAT JOB. I AM WITH THE REST OF YOU. IT IS GETTING HARD TO PICK. THEY ARE BOTH SO NICE.
I just love the tiny jingle bells on #1 !
They are both great, but I voting for #1
I can’t wait to see the how to directions for all the tags, and who created which!
Yes you did make the choice hard once again! I loved the look of #1 but that reindeer stamp in #2 was too cute so I voted for #2
once again two great tags. thanks for sharing
You did in fact make this a very hard choice! Both tags are fabulous!
It was very hard to choose this time! Love them both.
This was the toughest choice yet. You two are obviously having fun.
These are so fun. I wanted to play along but I work full-time and so am only on Tag #4. And I have about 150 Christmas Cards to write and mail, and all the shopping to do for all my family and friends! I should have started my tags back in September!!! Or my cards or shopping!!
the soft almost transparent background stamping on the first one won my heart.
This was a tough one, #1I liked the background yet it looks imo like it just needs something.
#2 was more attention getter but do think the let it snow could have been made differently, love the deer stamp!
My favorites so far………..loved them both!!
This is getting too dang hard…I went back and forth a dozen times before voting for #1 ..by the slimmest of margins. I don’t usually go for digi simply because I’m a glue and paper kinda gal but I was really attracted to the brightness of #1 today…very close as I loved the embossing and the bling of #2…
Verrry hard to choose today. I went with #1 despite the fact I resist anything digi.
#1 is lovely but doesn’t look homemade. Plus, I love the reindeer!
It is getting much harder to choose. #1 looks simple and clean but I know there are techniques behind the scene to make it look clean and sleek. (Plus I love the little bells) # 2 Well what can I say, I absolutely love the reindeer! Keep up the great work. This ‘Family Feud’ has been an inspiration and learning experience to me! Thank you!
The decision was hard!!! Both tags are beautiful! The adorable reindeer won out in the end though, today!
Ditto to the rest.,,,,,,,this was the hardest day to choose! I did choose #1, but it was almost even….great job!
All I can see is Tag #1 and #2. How do I see 3-8? Help!!!
There should only be two tags in each entry…Days 1 through 8 are posted as separate entries. This is day 8. If you go to the home page, you’ll be able to see the entries for days 1-7, which each have two tags in them. I hope that helps!
This one was very difficult to choose. Truly love them both.
Difficult choice. In the end, I went with #2. Wonder why it said I had already voted in this poll, though. I didn’t!
My vote ALSO said I had already noted and I had not….
The Raindeer Tag won out for me. It’s just too dadgum delightful for me to not vote for it. Now, I want that raindeer stamp, as if I need more stamps! lol
Toughest choice yet… I actually tried to vote for both!!! hmmm but in the end I am not a digi girl so I had to go with ever faithful paper and glue!
It’s getting harder to choose.
Both tags are beautiful!
How long have you two been married? Even though the tags are different, and the styles varied, you two obviously think alike. If my DH and i were doing this the tags would ALWAYS be DRASTICALLY different!
This has been so much fun…TFS
SInce the earth was a dust ball? We’re old. LOL No, seriously, we’ve been married 17 years and together 20. We got married when I was just 21 (almost 22), and our beautiful 7 year old daughter was born two weeks after our 10th wedding anniversary.
Love these! And yes it is getting harder & harder to choose a favorite!
today is really tough – they are both so awesome in their own way!
this was a real toughy- love them both but 1 won with by whisker
this was the hardest choice I had to make yet, until I realized that tag #1 was done part digi and I really don’t consider that “true crafting/ scrapbooking” (I know,I’m old school). So..I went with #2!!!! I am so anxious to see who made all of the tags and which of you won the most days!!!
Both beautiful – I would have voted for 1 because it is gorgeous, but I have a problem with the flatness of digi things (even though they can be made to look dimensional). Just loved the santa face, but went with the reindeer stamped tag as it was cute and looked ‘touchable’.
Hi Guys,
Another Tough Choice. Know what you mean about the length of time it takes and then looks so easy but for this reason, I have gone for Tag 1 today. It’s clean look just really appeals. Can’t wait to see the end result. Ha Ha.
Kind Regards,
Bev…..

This one is to hard to decide. I did pick one because of the jingle bells. But if I was to get either of these tags. They would be hanging and saved for sure. I love the reindeer in tag 2.
Thanks to both of you, they are both fantastic.
