Good Morning :)
Blow out the candles with me today as we go on a blog hop with Crafty Secrets. Our challenge this month as a Design Team was to create some fun birthday themed projects.
One of my most favorite parts of gift-giving is in the presentation of the gift... so for my project I created a couple of vintage tags to top off some packages.
I used some fun Maya Road Cupcakes and Party Hats chipboard for my focal points and then covered them in oodles of Crafty Secrets goodies including some Childhood Images & Journal Notes, Seasonal Calendar, and Girlfriends Creative Scraps, Travel Creative Scraps, Hardware and A Sexy Little Number Clear Stamps.
I topped each tag off with trim, glitter, ink, fabric and news print flowers, and fabric brads and then tied them to the top of packages wrapped in a brown bag and sheet music....tulle works great for bows because it's inexpensive and CUTE...and that's it...ready to rip right open :)
Here are links to the Design Team bloggers participating...have fun!
