Awesome Reusable Tags...

Hey there! 

How's everyone's 1st week of the 2013 going?

I've been wanting to share an idea I came up with for some awesome, reusable tags and I finely found the time to get them on  here... I hope you like them and the idea. 

Fronts of Tags.
The base tags here are recycled from new clothing I had bought, the tags were so sturdy, I just had to re-purpose them.

Backs of Tags.

Front & Back of Tags.
The base of these, are old Levi  hang tags.

Front & Back of Tags.
Base cut using my Cricut & deep blade housing.  These are chipboard thick, so they are nice a sturdy.

Enjoy!

Mothers Day Love....

Hi there!

Here's one of the many Mother's Day Cards, that I have in process.  I love to make them for everyone :):):)  As usual I'm a tad bit behind, but they should be finished just in the nick of time.

So there's lot's of stamping, inking, tea dying, and real stitching.  The cute little flower & it's petals where cut with my Cricut, using the Flower Shoppe Cartridge, which is a wonderful cartridge.  Hope you like it.  

Hugs,
