G45 Ladies Diary Tag Swap

I joined a tag swap over on LSB and we had to use the Ladies Diary paper collection from Graphic 45. This paper collection is just so pretty, I love the colors. I had a hard time getting started but once I came up with my idea I really enjoyed putting these together. The stamps on the tag are from the paper collection. I used a gardenia from I Am Roses and colored them using Glimmer Mist and Distress Ink. Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment.

I participated in Velma Griffin's tag swap over at her blog Creatively Outta Control, it was recently changed from a montly swap to a bi-monthly swap. The requirements of this swap had also changed from an image swap to a swap where we need to use at least 4 types of embellishments.

I didn't realize how much of a challenge this was going to be for me until I started decorating my tags. But I just kept going and I was actually pleased with the way these tags came out. I used scalloped circle punches to make some of the flowers and those were really time consuming. Here are some pictures of my completed project. I hope whoever receives them really likes them. Take a look and please leave a comment.

Thanks for looking!!

I used the Retro Flower punch to make these flowers.



I used Scalloped punches to make these flowers and I just loved the way these turned out.

My Garden Coin Envelope Mini

I was recently in a Coin Envelope Mini Album swap over at Mini Album Scraps, it was a one on one swap so I had to make a mini for my partner. The theme was My Garden, so after talking with my partner Jennifer, I decided that Lavender Chateau by DCWV would be the paper that I would use for my mini. I just loved the colors of this paper, the lavender, brown, green, and purple colors were just beautiful. These papers also have alot of glitter on them which made them much prettier. So here are a couple of pictures of the mini that I created. I hope you like them and please leave a comment.

Thanks and have a great day!!!
