Tag your it.....

Good morning everyone!!  I hope everyone's week is off to a good start.  Kel and I are counting the hours till our scrap weekend!!!

Believe it or not this tag is 10" x 8" big!!  Our company has a basket raffle at work. Each department comes up with a theme and then buys items to fill the basket.  We put the basket on display and we buy raffle tickets for them and put them in the basket we want to win. All the money we collect for the baskets goes to charity. So its a win win.

Our theme was Reader's Delight. We bought a Kindle Fire, Amazon gift card, a cozy blanket, two mugs, some hot chocolate, two bottles of wine and some wine glasses.  I was in charge of buying it all and I thought  let me put a tag on it and list what is inside the basket. I will list that on the smaller tag. (Once the basket is done I will post a picture)

My materials:

Big and small tags from - Tags, Bags, Boxes and More - Kraft paper for the tags
The little people reading the book and the word read - Graphically Speaking
Readers Delight - stamped from Alphabet stamps I got at Michaels.
The black paper with the letters was the inside of my Kindle box that I saved, because I loved it so much!
Ribbons and flower from my stash.

I am sure our basket will be a big hit.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Family Fun Time - Card Style

I had to make a card for my older sister, she just became a grandma! So I decided to make it non traditional. It started out traditional, and then took a turn when I saw the the little calendar.

The base of the card is from a DCWV card pack, I love these cards, bigger than the traditional card. 5x5. A little more postage is needed, but worth it. I cuttlebugged the white piece with Tim Holtz folder.

The baby was born July 6, so with the eraser of a pencil dipped in ink, and stamped on the 6. Such a clever little idea I learned from my StampinUP lady and friend, Susan!

It's a boy is cut from Stork's Delivery cut and 2" and layers 1 and 2 as well, page 1.

The tag is cut from Tags, Bags and Boxes cut at 4.50 pg 90.
