Day 4, you challenged me. I fought back...
with TAGS!!!!!
Yes FOUR tags because, well, Day 4...lol
so maybe yesterday I was a little crazy and a lot less funny.. Day 4 almost didn't happen. Unfortunate family emergency and barely getting these done on time but here goes... (note... I will be updating with more details tomorrow after some much needed sleep)
I thought using some of the Itty Bitty stamps to make some tags would be a fun way to celebrate Day FOUR <Sung in my best Disney kind of voice> so here we go.
Of course Evelyn was still mad that I blamed her yesterday so she insisted she needed be on a tag and "she wasn't too tall, and she had balloons, and every body liked balloons, and she needed to go first and she never got to play with the ribbon yesterday, and dang it" Evelyn wanted to attend Day Four Party at The Crafting Castle!!!!!
These tags were so fun to make, and so easy with the awesome images that Unity Stamps cranks out. I love making Thank You tags for people. I like dropping off a little sweet treat , a get well, or happy gift for a favor and I can attach this little tag to the gift, it has a "To and From" on the back and I can leave it at their desk to say thanks for helping out. Everyone always comments on the tags. They make great little gifts too!!!! A package of pretty handmade gift tags is a great little gift and add in a set of matching greeting cards and you have a wonderful gift for someone that might not be as crafty as you but would love to give them to people they love.
The first tag I used was Evelyn. Oh Evelyn, so sassy yet determined to have her way with HAPPY HAPPY BALLOONS!!!
The Second tag I used the DoN't Be PerFect (Planner Gal) by Angie Blom
This stamp calls out to my soul. I have this long standing joke in my house about Awesome and it brings a lot of laughs to our house with how flipping awesome we all are, so when I saw a stamp that had the word AWESOME with a great quote, I had to have it. I have used this one so much it probably have wear marks..lol
The third tag I used Badass Every Day
Now let me tell you a funny little story about this card... remember those teenagers I have been telling you about? Well one of them, just so happens to hate any thing real "girly and pink" so when I was showing her my tags ( I know, a teenager actually looked at something I made...lol ) I showed her this and she says "eh, it's okay" and I joked "Awww, don't you like the girly one?" and she shrugs, so I say "You know it has a cuss word on it?" <head whips back around> "what?" Yeah, it has a cuss word. , "Nuh Uh" <peers closer to read the whole thing" and the giggles begin...LOL After our day 3, it was nice to see a smile out of her and I just love this stamp. I often make it as a Bookmark and give to friends who might need the reminder to be BAD ASS EVERYDAY.
and finally the 4th tag, I used the Thank You stamp
...to me, the MOST IMPORTANT ONE, because, (yeah I know it's day four, , I am crazy about numbers, I know, calm down, that wasn't where I was going, hang on to your britches,, No I wasn't Thanking Unity... wait, YES I am thanking Unity, geesh that's not what I meant, that wasn't where I was going either,, <palm to forehead> can I just get to it?..) the 4th one is the most important because...
I did this one in honor of MY MOM who absolutely LOVES Elephants and I can't say THANK YOU enough to that woman for the grey hairs I have given her, the wrinkles I have caused her, and the moments I worried her soul. Another Awesome Mom thing, she is turning SEVENTY FIVE in just a few days, so how about we get a few Happy Birthdays for Nana.... :)
LOVE YOU MOM!!!!
Ok folks, I promise to update the pictures with the supplies I used to make them, but I am barely hanging by a thread tonight and we have a long day ahead tomorrow so unfortunately it will be another late post. I have so enjoyed my week as the Growing In Unity girl and I look forward to seeing all the lovely creations these girls come up with. For those of you that have followed along this week, thank you so much for all the wonderful comments, couldn't have been a better week to need the extra love. Hope you and all your families are safe tonight. Thinking of so many right now.
Night
