Shabby Chic Tag of Aunt Nora

Hi Friends,  Today I'm sharing this oh so shabbylicious tag I made for my swap pal Randi in a swap earlier this year.  She loved shabby chic whites and pinks and loves family so I thought to make it special that I would use this amazing picture of my Aunt Nora Spencer taken in circa 1903 when she was in her early teens.  My camera lens is acting a bit goofy, but here's a few more close ups for you:

 

 

 

 

 We also agreed to  gift wrap our tags and I chose a crisp linen napkin and made a rhinestone bow.  

 

That's it for me today, enjoy a happy day!  Hugs ~ Dawna

Hi Friends,   Okay, so I have a obsession confession!  One of my favorite things to create (next to handmade flowers of course) are these fun embossed leaves!  They are so easy-peasy to make, just pop a cut leaf into an embossing folder, run it through your machine and viola!  Not only do you have a gorgeous leaf, but tons of texture too!  Now, just highlight those raised areas with inks and there you have it.  They will make any layout special.  Here's a few more close ups:

  

 

 

Well that's all from me, thanks for stopping by and having a peek!   Hugs ~ Dawna
