Color Magic Tags!

Hello!  It is getting closer to Friday!  I will actually be gone this weekend on a women's retreat.  I was blessed from a good friend of mine that invited me months ago and paid for my weekend.  Although it is difficult to leave the family for even a weekend, I know it will be great for me.  I definitely need some reflection time as I have been going, going and going some more.  I will let you know how it goes!

I love making tags as mini thank you cards.  They are fairly quick to make and it is a great way to try different color combinations without committing to an entire layout.  I have surprised myself sometimes with various color schemes so I continue to create and explore and this afternoon was one of those times.

Here are five tags I created in about a 2 hour time frame (counting getting interuppted by the dogs, cat, phone, husband, etc.!).  Thanks for looking and I hope they give you some inspiration. If you have any questions, please leave me a comment or send me a picture of your tags/cards or page layouts!

Sweet Innocence Layout using Heidi Swapp's Vintage Chic line and Pink Paislee's Mistables paper

Happy Friday! I shared a picture of this layout on instagram but wanted to share some closer shots.  I loved working on this layout because of the adorable picture of my two sisters, Tracy and Aimee.  I love those pink dresses and that blonde hair!  I used mostly Heidi Swapp's Vintage Chic line (of course!) as it goes so well with that soft photo.  I will give more description with the closer shots.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend! 

For the title, I used the Vintage Chic letters to spell "sweet" and Color Magic letters for "innocence" sprayed with Primrose and Gold Lame Color Shine.

I made a vellum envelope and inked it and then sprayed it with Gold Lame.  I then sewed some beads with baker's twine through the holes.  For the tags inside the envelope, I used a Vintage Chic note on the bottom, a piece of rectangular paper next and then used my scallop punch for the top piece and added the buzz word "fun".  At the bottom of the envelope, I used a piece of Pink Paislee's Mistable paper, layered with a Color Magic banner and finished off with some pink pearls.

I used one half of a mini Vintage Chic folder (adorable!) to back my photo and then I added a few pieces of the 8x8 Vintage Chic paper on the left side to add more depth.  I distressed and inked the edges.  I also added pink pearls on the left side of the photo and on the bottom right of the layout.

I used one of the Vintage Chic paper banners to add my sister's names and the date of the photo.  I then used tulle (of course sprayed with Gold Lame Color Shine) and heated the edges and put that on the right side of the photo.  I also added spool buttons from Pink Paislee's Vintage Vogue line. I did sew a border before I added anything to the paper.  Thanks again!
