It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Papertrey Blog Hop.  This month it's all about tags.



I used a combination of burlap and felt to add interest.  The doilies were misted with Old Lace Glimmer Mist.  It adds a beautiful shimmer to the tags.  Unfortunately you can't see it in the picture. 

I am also linking to CAS-UAL Fridays ~ Tags & Bags challenge.

Supplies: Stamps: Papertrey Ink  Paper: Lilybee, Making Memories and Papertrey Ink: Memento-Tuxedo Black Accessories: Papertrey Die Cuts, Felt, Burlap, Papertrey Buttons, Jingle Bells, Twine and Glimmer Mist

It's all About the Sentiment!

Hi, Thanks for stopping by.  Today's card is for the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge (CFC43), for a clean and simple creation with a sentiment as the focal point.  The Stamps of Life (phrases2say) I used for this card, has become one of my favorites. These sentiments are big and bold.  Just perfect to use as a focal point!  You'll be seeing more of this fun set.

Trick or Treat Mini Card (Love Note Size)

I just discovered a "new to me" challege tonight, CAS-ual Fridays. This weeks challenge is to create a mini card no larger than 4x4. If you've followed my blog at all, you know I love 3x3's or what I call Love Notes. I just love this size because they are perfect for slipping into a backpack, lunchbox, or even a briefcase. They are also the perfect gift enclosure.

This is my mini card and envelope:

Supplies:
Stamps: Michael's $ Bin (don't laugh)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Gina K Designs Pure Luxry Ivory, Pebbles, Inc. and Bo-Bunny
Accessories: Spellbinders and Spider Ring

Thanks for stopping by.
