More Goodies to Share!

I finally had some free time this week to play with some paper!
So the first challenge I wanted to play was one of my favorites,

Tag Tuesday

The challenge was to put a calendar on your tag..  And I had
just received this little calendar from a Jar swap..



Of course I picked the month of October.. My favorite Month
Can you guess why?  Yep it's my Birthday month..

This was mostly just made by layered paper.. No stamping!
A little distressed ink..   Some sewing,  as you know I love to sew
on my projects..  Some seam binding and Lace..  flowers and buttons
Oh it sounds so pretty..

If you want to play along or go check out the other tags just
hop over to Louise's Blog  (Kard Krazy).
