A place for cards and a Lovely Award

At the bottom of my blog I had some pictures of this tag that I made quite awhile ago for the desk trunk that I gave my DF for the cards that I make him. I thought I would turn it into a post. I made this right after I gave him a Valentine's card (last year) he said to me that he was going to need a box to safely store my creations. I found this great desk trunk at Michaels...and of course I had to add a tag to it...

The pocket tag and the other tags are all from Cricut's Tag, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge.



I love this paper from Deja View's Fresh Print Blue Raspberry:


Unfortunately you can see the edges of these alphabet stickers but I so love the look of the letters (also from Deja Views from their Wonderful Words letter stickers):


This is a rub-on on from one of my favorite designers, Kelly Panacci:


So with some fun ribbons, buttons and a key you have a great tag for a trunk! And with the pocket tag you can leave little love notes every once in a while...or a honey-to-do-list... ;)


I also wanted to share with you the award that I received from my friend and a very talented lady, Sonia. Thanks Sonia! I'm very honored to be able to display this on my blog:


Have a great night!

I received the Javablu Award!

I have just received an award from Susan Edwards, you should check out her site (click on her name). Thanks Susan, I'm very honored to receive this award from you!

3. Nominate at least 5 other blogs.

4. Before listing the nominees give a brief reason why you chose them.

5. Put links of those blogs on yours.

6. Leave a message on the blogs you have nominated.

I have chosen the following very talented ladies because they give me so inspiration. The funny thing is that the 4 other nominees that Susan chose would have been on my list, so I don't think I can list those, but these five ladies are also extremely inspirational and each thing they do just amazes me!

I've been given another award!

WOW! All in the same day I've been given an award from 4 people (of which I would give this award back to them as they are amazingly talented and so inspirational to me)! Tracy, Scossie, Julie & Sharon have given me the honor of this award:



So now it's my turn to pay it forward by following the rules:
1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.

Now since I would have given this award to the lovely ladies that awarded me, I'm going to choose 3:
Glee - she makes the most absolutely beautiful cards
Trina - I'm in absolute awe of her stamping
Taylor - she has so many inspirational sketches and what she does with them are just awesome

There are so many others that I find so much inspiration that I could go on and on and many of them have already rec'd this award (as they greatly deserve it)!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

:)

Update to this post, I just received this award from another talented lady Tiggertastic, please check out her site as she has style! And she also makes beautiful jewelry for sale.
