I am hoping that blogger is kind and this is posting as scheduled, as you read this I am away for an overnight girl's trip with my only niece. It is the only time she has this summer, in between college classes, raising her family, work and church obligations to play and we are taking advantage of the couple of days she has off. We are away at Boone, NC in the midst of the Appalachian Mountains near the Blue Ridge Parkway....shopping, antiquing and of course eating! There are lots of sweet shops in this area, can't wait to tell you all about our trip.
For the important stuff now, at Sugar Creek Hollow we are challenging you to make a tag or use a tag on your card....since I couldn't decide which I wanted to do and the themes....I did both. For my card I tried to create a French Country look, I used a new embossing folder which is one of a set of 4 in the Ornate frames set by Sizzix which I sponged to highlight the detail. My stamps are from Stampin' up's set Vintage Vogue. I love these flowers from the set. I even finished off my envelope with the flourish stamp.
Card Details:
Paper: Stampin' Up so saffron, unk blue
Ink: SU so saffron, night of navy
Stamps: SU vintage vogue
Other: Spellbinders labels 18, studio18 rhinestones, sizzix ornate frames embossing folder
Tag Details:
Manilla tag and doilie- gift,
Images: Musical digi paper Far Far Hill freebie, Gina K designs "Blessed is the Season" , SU Winter Post
Other: SU tag punch, K& Co chipboard,
INks: Tim Holtz distress inks, scrap ribbon

Love both of these fabulous projects but I think the Christmas tag is my favourite. The image is so vintage and you have created such a stunning tag with it. Hope your trip is fun.

Great card and tag! Thanks for the sweet comment on my tag, too! By the way, I wanted to tell you that we love Galax, and all that area of VA. We were for a day just over a year ago.
These are both such beautiful projects! I love all of the sheet music on the second one. Lovely creations.
