PbD07... Tag, You're It!

The Perfect Blend...

Hey friends!  It's so good to be home.  I just returned, Friday night from a week long business trip to China.  It's nice to travel, but I am always so thankful to be back home in the good 'ole USA. 

Once I got home, I had to check out the Pink By Design "Ink it Pink" challenge for the week.  This week the challenge was to incorporate tags into your design.  Yay!  I love tags... so this was a fun one.  Wait, who am I kidding, I love just about everything associated with paper crafts!  :-)

Lately, I have been obsessed with chevrons.  At work, at home, in crafts... everywhere.  If you were part of the Pink By Design UStream on Friday night for the July release (how fun was that friends?!!) you know that I'm not the only one obsessed with chevrons... :-) 

Anyway, I found this great new little paper pad from My Mind's Eye at my local scrapbook store (woohoo, Scrapbooks, etc!) called "Indie Chic" and it had this fabulous chevron print in it.  I love the colors and it immediately made me think coffee, yummo (one of the other things I love...).  It was a great way to bring the two things together.

The tag (heart) is one I created using Tim Holtz distress inks, water and my Ranger craft mat.  Tim Holtz inks are so fun to play with and use to create unique watercolor, antique looking papers.  One of a kind... never to be duplicated, but often imitated (I guess sort of like the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.. haha!).  I incorporated some embossing too for some texture and of course some ribbon.

This would be a great card for a friend with a nice gift card to Starbucks included... (of course!).  Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day!

Hugs,
