Altered Flower Tag

I am so far behind on my blogging!  It always seems this time of year just whizzes on by, & I am left standing back in February!  But, we are in May, school is winding down, Easter is past us, many of the birthdays that we celebrate have been celebrated, & we are coming into the summer months.   So, let’s see if I can keep up w/ my posts moving forward.  To start me back on the right track, here is a post that I did last Monday on The Everyday Scrapper:

For some reason, Mother’s day totally snuck up on me!  We have been so busy, that I kind of forgot.  Ooops.  So, we scrambled on Saturday for a last minute gift.  We went to Lowes for something else, so while there, I got a white pot, & a marigold, which is my mother-in-laws favorite plant.  I didn’t have much time, but wanted to spruce it up a little.  So, I pulled the tag out of the pot & decided that I would alter it!  Quick thinking, right?

I covered it with patterned paper, front & back, & added a cute metal butterfly embellishment.

For my final touch, I added a matching ribbon, & glue dotted it where I wanted it to lay.  The final product looked like this:

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend, & that you  have a beautiful week!

Thanks for looking!

Red Carpet Studio ABC Random Blog Hop

Welcome to the ABC Ransom Blog Hop,  hosted by  Red Carpet Studio !   If you've come from Stephanie J's  blog, you're in the right place. The Red Carpet Studio designers thought it would be fun to host a mystery blog hop while showcasing projects that can be made using all those leftover letters in your stash - hence where the "ransom" comes in. Ransom notes play a huge role in mystery/suspense films, and are often created out of random letters cut from magazines, newspapers, etc. in order to disguise handwriting.  While we won't be doing any kidnapping or holding anybody ransom today - we do have some creative projects to share with you! For my project using leftover letters in my stash, I created...   I used letters from a leftover Thickers pack, & used them to frame around the girls picture. I just randomly placed them to form the frame.  I used Basic Grey paper, & embellishments, & some random bu...
