A Tag!

This tag was totally inspired by one from
the latest PaperCraft's magazine. I don't
usually make tags, preferring to make a
full-out card, but in this case I didn't have
a tonne of time and really did just want a
little note to tie onto a gift. This turned out
even better than I had hoped!

Using my Nestabilities (I just can't stop using
these babies - I love them!) I cut out the green
layer using some old Basic Grey paper and then a
smaller layer in Ballet Blue. I used the Distressed Dots
background stamp from Unity and stamped the dots
with Versamark. Then I stamped the star (also from
Unity) in Ballet Blue and embossed it with clear embossing
powder and popped it up with a dimensional. I've had
the letter stickers for-ever, I think I got them when
I was in college!, but they were perfect for this tag!
Lastly, I put the eyelet in the top and added some
baker's twine.

Pete's friend is in a band, so I thought this fabric would
be perfect for for his new little rocker. Plus, doesn't
every baby need a skull and crossbones blankie? Ha!
I wrapped up some onesies, a book, and some
Johnson's baby products in the blanket and tied it all
up with some twine. Added the tag to finish it up and
I think it was a pretty sweet gift, from one guy to another!

My sewing machine is getting a work-out lately.
Can't wait to show you what I've been up to! ;)
Hope you're all finding some crafty time during
these grey, drizzly days to keep you cheery!
