Graphic 45 Easter Tag

Today I am sharing with you an Easter Tag I created using beautiful design paper from Graphic 45 and Want2Scrap Wild Plum Pearls Swirls Finesse. I covered the Manila Tag using Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments - Heart Song Paper and added the vintage image and sentiment from Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments - Heart Song Paper.  I added Art Glitter Ensalada Glitter with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive to the image. 

Then I adhered a LeCreme Pearl and added the Wild Plum Pearls Swirls Finesse, cutting to fit as needed.

At the top of the tag I used LeCreme Pearls and Sage Green Pearls and added seam binding to the hole.

Very quickly you have a beautiful vintage tag to add to your Easter basket.  Have a great day!

Fall Cards with Mon Ami Gabby

Today I am sharing two cards that I created with the September Mon Ami Gabby Kit Club.   I created a bow with the cream ribbon in the Kit for my Fall Harvest Girl Card.

This card also features a beautiful Fall Floral Embellishment that was included in the Kit and I adhered the small Fall Trim Flower from Mon Ami Gabby to the bottom right hand corner of my card as a final touch.

For my second card I created my Nature Card featuring the "Nature" Ephemera included in the September Kit, which I added some glitter to for some extra sparkle.  I just love this beautiful Fall Ribbon with the pretty leaves.  I added the Pearl Embellishment to the Burlap Flower and added Platinum Stickles to the edges of the burlap.  I added glitter to the Wheat Embellishments and finished by adding the Fall Trip Flower at the base of the Wheat Embellishment.
