Pat cubed

My mom's name is Pat and she was looking for an alternative to the "Hello...My Name is..." tags given out at the condo functions she and my dad attend while they are wintering in Florida. She asked me to make her a "less boring" tag with her name and condo number to wear to these functions.

In my usual fashion, I couldn't stop at just one, so I made three! These are made of wooden scrap booking tags, the beading and wire were already attached, so I embellished with stickers, mulberry papers, Stampin' Up! stamps (alphabet and dragonfly) embossing powders, chalks and distress inks (Tim Holtz). Now she can mix and match with her outfits!

A stamped flashback

This is a stamped tag magnet I made for my mom and dad in 2008...I forgot about it until I saw it on their fridge in Florida during my recent visit. Made with a pear from Stampin' Up!, misc inks and paper, colored tag, Dymo tape, plastic slide, chunky glitter and a clever play on words.

At work, I am known as the "flair fairy." I create little souvenirs to liven up the place a little for each season. Since I work in radio, I re purpose old Cd's as part of my creations. I used a combination of Stampin' Up! stamps, paper, punch and inks, leftover Christmas wrap, Tim Holtz distress inks, Jolee's stickers and plain old curling ribbon. I love the dark purple side and the grooves in the CD and the layered/dimensional look. The fact that it looks like a tree on the door was a happy accident that I didn't even notice until someone else pointed it out!

Here is this year's holiday door ornament:
