I chose to go with simple this month for this project, using Basic Black and Garden Green Ink on White Daisy CS Base. Accent with the Garden Green Ribbon and Black CS backing this terrific Tag.

Here are some more projects I have made using this Stamp of the Month...

Extreme Happiness stamp set along with one of the sentiments from the Tender Tags was used for this Thinking of You card. Paper pack is our Moon Doggie pack.

Chocolate & Sweat Leaf Inks used for this simple card.

This bag is inspired by a gorgeous bag done by one of our CTMH Consultants, Lisa Moore. (Her's was so much more cute!) I had to play around with it and decided to add one of the Tender Tags to match. Paper Pack is Bella.

I hope you are enjoying the Hop, Thanks for visiting!

Hi Ladies! I'm giving myself a challenge and I want you all to join me.Summer is coming and I'm getting antsy. I purchased myself a super cheap pedometer and I'm challenging myself to see how many steps I can take each week.Right now I'm not setting a specific goal other than to better myself each week.So this is what I'm thinking. Lets see how we can each do. Whomever wants to join, please do so! The more the merrier!No weigh ins, no diets, just walking. We all do that already!This is just a personal goal that I'm thinking we could make fun.So if you decide to join me, email me each week by 12 on Saturday with the number of steps you've taken. I'll keep a tally of everyone's numbers and post here on my blog so everyone can see. Then by the end of each month whomever is in the #1 place will receive a "FABULOUS 'WORTHLESS' (or priceless if you prefer) PRIZE" Not for you right now? That is not a problem, hopefully I'll keep this going for awhile and you can join in at any time!Know someone that you know would want to join in? Great! Have them email me so I have their email address to send updates.Don't like the idea of putting your name on the blog? Not a problem, just let me know & I'll just enter the numbers under Anonymous Definitely in? Email me or comment on this post right away and lets get started. First weeks numbers will start arriving Saturday May 8th!
