Strong

Well it's been quite a week. Not one that i would like to repeat any time soon. What's the saying.... 'What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger'. LOL

A couple of things to share today. Firstly a vintage tag that I made for Father's Day this year. I used Ranger distress Ink (vintage photo) for the background. Loving my Baker's Twine. Scrap Box NZ is now stocking this.

I don't think I will ever tire of vintage book paper scallops...

............and a wee sneak preview of an 'off-the-page' project I created for Scrap Box NZ.

Happy weekend everybody. I am hoping to escape for a couple of hours.

Chase

This layout is all about bubba (bless him!) chasing sea gulls crawler style. He just has this thing for them...

The neutral Cosmo pp worked well- reminded me of the beach, with the gauzy fabric for some extra texture. The thick ribbon is an older Stampin' Up one- it is pleated Gigi http://gigikennedy.typepad.com/ style.

Love that gorgeous little 7Gypsies paper clip.... Cute!

Blessed

So a week or two ago I was privy to the most AMAZING package arriving at my door from the wonderful, generous and talented Rachel Tucker http://rtscraps.typepad.com/

So I opened the box to see this most beautiful handmade tag, made by Rachel of course...

Don't you just {heart} the layering and stitching and fabric and those delicious wee flowers...

I could not believe the amount of vintage pretty that just kept on coming...... I must admit I got all choked up......

An amazing RAK (random act of kindness) from a stranger..... Oh how it made my day/ week/ month...........

How gorgeous is the stitched felt heart....... and check out the delightful wee cupcake.....

So as I said SO BLESSED.......Thank you a million times over Rachel!

Check out her blog and be inspired.
