Tag Swap 2019

Hi everyone!  It's been so long since I've posted here.  Please don't take this as a sign that I have not thought about you or the store....actually I think about you and the store... Every. Single. Day.  Oh how I miss my happy place AND seeing you there.  I have been having fun, however, connecting with you out and about.  I am seeing you at the grocery store and at the fabulous events that take place in our community.  Oh how I love having two days off in a row!  It's like a vacation every week.  Ha.  

I have also continued to take part in the incredible Zonta's Card Making Extravaganza.  Have a look at the card, I mean tag I created for the event.

We worked with real sheet music and gesso to create a beautiful background for our tag.  We then added a few stamps in green ink for a beautiful addition to the base of the tag.  We then stamped vintage children from Magenta and embossed a sentiment from Tim Holtz.  The red poinsettias were also from a Tim Holtz set.  The tag was then dressed with real seeded eucalyptus, silk ribbon, a jingle bell and of course my signature twine.  Don't be afraid to add beautiful natural elements like pinecones or leaves to your tag designs.  You don't have to worry about the amount of dimension so go nuts!
