Tag You're It!

Wow!  What a week!  So much going on in the world and sometimes it's a bit overwhelming.  The highs and the lows.  The heights of celebration and the sadness of loss.   Tornadoes, romantic royal wedding, and Bin Laden.  Gotta say it again- wow!
I've decided to press in and focus my attention on family and a bit of creative time for some healthy and positive outlets!
The recent Easter swap got me in the mood for making more tags!  Using some of my vintage card images I decided to do a couple " thank you's" ...

I just love this cute bear with its sweet eyes and big red bow!  Gingham, polka dots, and fun embellishments.

It's hard to see in the picture but the flowers are pale yellow and creams.  I also added some Stickles glitter to the ice cream cone, flowers, and bow.

This one I decided to add an actual red bow and keep it more simple.   One of these days I will try doing some 3D effects in my cards and tags.  So many options with such a sweet array of images.  

Friday I'll be working on a Mother's Day card and hoping to make it feminine and pretty just like my mama!

I'm also hoping to plant these pretty perennials in my flower bed this weekend.  They have been inside for protection from frost, believe it or not!  The cold just wants to hang on for a long time!  Before I do my planting I will first have to buy fresh fertilized soil to help in their success.  Please work out!

 

 

I'm not the best gardener but I couldn't resist getting these plants because I like the tiny delicate petals and they also are supposed to be attractive to butterflies!
My butterfly bush did not make it last year! It's just a little dried stick in the soil!
What can I say?  I don't give up!  I love having flowers around my humble little home!  Have a great day!
