Another Tag!

Good Morning!

I couldn't resist! I had to make another tag using the Lettering Delights images I mentioned in my last post - This could be addictive hehe!

I am entering this one into a Spring Flowers challenge at cookingwithcricut.blogspot.com! xo

Tags!

I made these really cute tags today using some Lettering Delights images. They were so simple to use - I just printed them on white cardstock, cut them out, layered them, stamped them and added ribbon!

I was quite skeptical about digital stamping/using coloured images from the Internet but these turned out great and I will be using them a lot more!!

I am entering the Father's Day tag into K's Simply Sunday (Camping) Challenge at www.gettingcricky.com and the Mother's Day tag into a Mother's Day challenge at peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com and craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com! xo

Update!

Hey guys!

Just a little update as to what I've been up to lately.. I haven't done much scrappin' lately since I've been so busy with work and everything else! However, I have been keeping up with all of the blogs I follow and I've been keeping track of all the great ideas I want to try! :)

A couple of weeks ago, I received a package full of goodies in the mail as a thank you gift from pattilynncreations.blogspot.com - I was the first guest designer on her blog! It was such an honour.. Thanks again Patti!


I've always saved my calendars at the end of the year because they have too many pretty pictures to just throw them out (I know you all would do the same thing LOL!). While lying in bed the other night, I remembered I had a frame stored away somewhere and decided to fill it with pictures from an old Marilyn Monroe calendar! I loveeee her so much!


Tonight, my boyfriend asked me to make some labels to go along with all the yummy food he's making for his next catering job.. I thought that was so sweet of him! And even better, he said he would buy me a new stamp set in return!! BEST BOYFRIEND EVER!! xo
