I dedicated my whole afternoon yesterday to catching up on some stamping and it felt sooo good...had my ipod playing with my favorite tunes, a warm cup of coffee by my side and the whole basement to myself! I hate being behind on things and it felt really good to play catch up and just have some me time.
Here is one of the little projects I completed using Mint Motif's Sweet Hearts set. No sentiments on these....just the sweet images and lots of paper piecing!
The blue polka dot patterned paper I used for the paper piecing is from Jillibean Soup...from the Soup Staples Collection. The paper, as well as the Cotton Candy Pink twine I used on the tops of the tags, you can find at i{heart}papers. I created the large tags using Papertrey Ink's Tag Sale #1 die.
Glitter, scallops, flowers, doilies...all a girls favorite things! Well, this girl anyway. ;)
So glad you stopped by today...thank you! I hope you all have a super day. I'm going to be spending it next door with my grandparents! Coffee, muffins and a bit of cleaning and organizing. A perfect morning! :)
