Hello friends and welcome to you today~
Just a quick post to share a few Valentine tags I made for my family.
I wish so much I could stay and really 'chat!' but *sigh* work is calling my name. So I will leave you with these photo's and wishes for a wonderful week ahead! I think we will be warming up a bit here in Colorado; so I am happily looking forward to that! ~Karen
Using a black (small size) Graphic 45 Tag with metal eyelet. Also using Graphic 45 papers.
Here is their website: http://www.g45papers.com/products/time-to-flourish-category
I love round and full bows; I know - I've mentioned that before ; ) !!
My inspiration for bows often comes from these 2 great ladies:
http://iralamija.blogspot.com/ Beatrize Jennings (who is currently on the Frank Garcia design team)
and
http://cherrysjubileehome.blogspot.com/ Cherry, who is on several design teams as well.
Both encourage and inspire me with their retro/shabby-chic styles and use of ribbon in their designs~
Don't you like a bit of twine? And the bow is layered; with thin and wide ribbon and twill tape.
Below I'm using Graphic 45's "Raining Cats and Dogs" paper collection!
Such a sweet retro-vintage look .
The tag is a large base (black) from Graphic 45.
I created a pocket on the bottom; to insert a gift card or a few tags & photo's.
A bit of Washi tape along the side.
