Embossed Tags

Happy Monday everyone. We have officially started our summer vacation at our house. My boys are home  and oh so happy not to have to get up and rush around to get to school. It's going to be a great summer. I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend and for the Fathers out there, I hope it was grand.

This week we are inspiring you to create some fabulous embossed tags. It always amazes me what a little embossing can do to a project. An ordinary tag is easily turned into an extraordinary work of art. I hope you share with us your creations.

...before I forget the winner for last week's layout challenge is #24 Barb  (great use of the Tim Holtz folders)...Thank you so much everyone for playing along.

Our winner for this week's tag challenge will receive a $20.00 gift certificate to Custom Crops where of course you can purchase some of the Tim Holtz folders for your own creations. Have a wonderful week. 

********Enjoy our Designs********
