Hello everyone today my hubby and I are celebrating our 47th Anniversary and so we will be heading to the coast to celebrate.  This has been a tradition for many years for us.  We choose different places to go but our favorite is Camden, Maine it is so pretty  and that is where we will go. Today I am posting a tag I made to go on a gift for a friend's new granddaughter.  It is a quick and simple project.  From pink cardstock using Tags & More 6 Daisy die set cut solid tag and 2 corners. From white cardstock using Tags & More 6 Daisy cut tag overlay. From off white / cream colored cardstock (Close to My Heart Colonial White used here) cut petals for 2 roses using Susan's Garden Notes Rose 2 die set.  Shade petals using pink from PanPastels set 1. Shape all petals. Cut 4 stems from green cardstock.  Add stem and vein lines to 2 of the stems.  Shade with bright green PanPastels Set 1.  Using a clear drying glue such as Kid's Choi...

Hello everyone.  Wow summer seems to be flying by here in Maine I do wish it would slow down a little as winter seems to last such a long time.  Everything is in bloom and it is absolutely beautiful. This card is my design for Susan's Garden Club on Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog.  I was very excited to be using a couple of Susan's brand new releases coming soon.  Susan has such incredible dies and just keeps coming up with new ideas all the time.  Be sure to visit Elizabeth Craft Designs here to see all the wonderful products and a full tutorial on how I constructed this card. Until next time - Happy Scrapping! Christine Save Save
