...............................................

It's already mid-October and I'm finally getting around to sharing my September thank you tags. Whew! The weeks just seem to fly by me. I guess these tags qualify as hybrid, although the only digital part of the tags are the background. I used one of my favorite DSP's Springtime Vintage (which I can still create digitally with My Digital Studio) for the background, but everything else is stamped, punched, and die cut.
One thing I wanted to try out on these tags was whether or not I could stamp with black Stazon ink and then use the white Stampin Chalk Marker to write over the inked image. The answer...Yes! I used one of the images from That's the Ticket stamp set as the black background, allowed it to dry a few minutes and then wrote "thanks" over the black background with the chalk marker. It worked great!

My Strawberry Slush flower was made using the now retired Daisy die (which I love) and Boho Blossom punch.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Vintage Scrap Tagbook

 Adriel created this Vintage Tag Scrapbook for last month's Project Class. We had a great class and everyone's Tagbook's turned out very nicely. I thought I'd share some pictures of this cute mini album with you today.

Journal Lines on the back of each tag.

A fun pull-out accordion picture holder.

Oval Picture holders.

A little pocket which holds an Oval Journal or Picture Holder shown below.

Thanks for dropping by :-)

Blast From the Past

From Heidi…

 A couple of years ago, our stamping friend, Norma, hosted a workshop at her house and this was one of the cards that we made that night. I loved this card! I loved the color combination and the layout. I came across this card a few weeks ago and thought it would be fun to use the layout and idea, but update it with new colors, stamps and ribbon. So, here’s what I came up with.

Isn't this new Four Frame stamp set cute? 

...and it fits the new Decorative Label Punch that's in the Occasions Mini catalog. The good news is that this stamp set and coordinating punch are both going to be included in the new 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog. Stampin' Up will be offering a special promotion for this Four Frames stamp set beginning April 1. To learn more about this special offer, please check out our upcoming April Newsletter or Blog.  We hope that you're having a great Saturday!
