It's Sunday and that means it's time for a new challenge at

This week the the is
"Tag It!"
So, this simply means your project must be or include a tag!

I decided to go with this tag and I love the way it turned out.


using Vintage Pinup Girl in Sailor Outfit from SLS Lines

I colored the image with pencil colors and fussy cut.
I die cut the anchor, ships wheel and "Sea" part of the title
with Carta Bella dies. The other part of the title was stamped with a Carta Bella stamp.
The DP is also Carta Bella. The crab is a button.
My ribbons are Offray and the red doily is Recollections.

Cute As A Button June Inspiration


Hello all!
Today is my day to share my inspiration post at
And, since it's June I thought I would do a Wedding card project.

I used Here Comes the Bride.

I colored my image with pencils, added stickles
and then chose some solid card stock in white and shimmer pink.

Next, I cut pink and white mats to fit my 5 1/2 x 6 card base
and used some Spellbinders dies to cut 3 other layers.



I embossed the white mat.
layered the die cuts. pulled out some embellishments:
ribbon, gems, paper roses

Everything was added to the card base
and the project is complete!

I love the way it turned out!
I hope you do too!

Don't forget to check out all the fabulous products available at
and then join in with the monthly
Anything Goes challenge at the

And we would love to see you at the

Until next time
Happy Crafting!
