Then my youngest sister, Bobbie and her hubby, Kenny stopped by to pick up some things for a silent auction and sale for a women's shelter. What a wonderful idea for all my cards that I have made over the last year and not used. I made four holders that look like magazine holders and placed 10 cards in each. I also gave her an additional 15 cards plus a ton of scrapbooking things that I have had when I used to sell Creative Memories. Need to purge a little and this was sure a good way to do that, although I still have plenty. I even have a plastic shoe box full of cards to use.
Later today we are off to a wedding. Our neighbors, Jeannie and Darrell's oldest son Cory is getting married today and what a beautiful day it is for a wedding. Pictures to follow.
Well I had a little bit of time and thought I would start filling that second plastic shoe box again. Gina K designs June stamp release was on Thursday night and with a new release their are always contests and extra challenges. I just love StampTV, it is the very best. The first challenge was to make 4 tags. I really had a lot of fun doing the tags. I wanted to create a set so I used the same stamps using different colors. I used Gina K design stamp set "Vintage Chic" for the image and Gina K design stamp set "Springtime Silhouettes" for the sentiment. I used Stampin Up inks, Cameo Coral, Lovely Lilac, Pretty in Pink and Summer Sun. I then decided to sponge a little additional color on with Tim Holtz's sponge applicator. And last but not least, I added a matching ribbon to each tag. Here is my interpretation for the June Release challenge #1:
I really like the bright and cheery feel of these tags and think they will be a nice addition for that silent auction and sale for the women's shelter. I might just make another set for get well and thanks to add to these four so that the set has a little more substance. A note can be written on the back of the tag as I made them quite large. The size I made these are 2 1/2 inches wide X 5 1/2 inches long.
