Another way to get your hands dirty!!
Although I can't even remember the last time I posted a paper project on my blog?? I'm not sure how those fell by the wayside or even when or why it happened? I still (most definitely) enjoy time spent "playing with paper" especially when it comes to something garden related. Today was one of those days when I had the opportunity to pull out some old (but well loved) products and just have a little fun.
The watering can stamp (Wordsworth) hadn't seen daylight in a very long time. I blew off the dust and used it on top of a stamped french script to create these simple garden tags:
You never know when a tag will come in handy so it's good to have a stack prepared!
That's my motto anyway and I'm sticking to it! ;-)
Same applies to cards ~ it's never good to be caught off guard.
On the two below, I used an identical strip of a favorite craft product ~ Domestic Bliss Decor Trim ~ this one is called "Mariposa Butterfly." It's self adhesive, removable and totally gorgeous!
As you can see, I also used the same French script background stamp plus a gold foil butterfly sticker & brown velvet ribbon.
Below, the same trim but a completely different look:
Isn't it great how versatile craft products are? Not to mention "FUN!"
Must.make.more.time.for.fun!
Which means I'll have to pry myself away from Pinterest ~ I'm still completely and utterly addicted. One of these days I'm going to force myself to go "cold turkey" then I'll free up time to get back to blogland! Hope you can hang in there with me until that happens!
I love your paperwork. You have a creative touch. That watering can stamp is cute, I could see using that all the time.
As for Pinterest...haven't started, I see from you and others the great time suck it is. :-)

These are so pretty!! I'm trying to organize our craft supplies and now I'm inspired to try making some tags like these. I love the watering can one.
That Pinterest is so addicting and so full of ideas.

I've heard a lot about Pinterest lately but haven't visited it myself. The tags and cards are lovely!

You are so creative, Kathleen. I just read about Pinterest today on another blog.
