Darnell's Gift Bag

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

In Darnell's own post about her Grand Tour visit, she mentions a guidebook that I gave to both her and Shirley, about Port Sunlight village.  She also mentions how great a guide I was for them; a compliment which I very humbly accept!

Obviously I couldn't just give them the book, I had to create something to put it in!  So I turned to one of my Stampin' Sisters, Caroline Hallett, for inspiration and instructions and created some of her Big Hallet Bags; changing the dimensions to accommodate the books and a little extra gift, which I'll say more about in another post...

There are stunning rose gardens in the village, so I took my inspiration for the tag from those (they looked much better in person)...

Card: Botanical Blooms DSP and Whisper White
Ink: Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum
Stamp sets: Rose Wonder and Thoughtful Branches
Tools and embellishments: Scallop Tag Topper Punch
Adhesives: Sticky Strip (retired) and Tombow

Challenges...
#88 Let's Hear it for the Girls at Crafty Gals Corner
#215 AG at Brown Sugar Challenges
#163 AG with a sentiment at Aud Sentiments

Whatever you're doing this weekend, have a great one!  I'll be back on Monday with another Grand Tour creation, so I hope you'll join me then.
