Shaker Tags - Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Creative Design Team Series...

The Creative Design Team is featuring TAGS, BAGS, BOXES & MORE for this month's video collaboration on YouTube.

I decided to make some Shaker Tags using three of the shaker shapes we carry...circle, star and heart. Using the Thin Cuts, Foam and Acetate, Loose Sequins and a couple of Stamp Sets, these shaker tags came together really quickly.

Here's a look as well as a link to the video on YouTube where you can see one of them come together.

Here's the YouTube video if you want to go see how easy they come together.

Party Time with H2H...

This is my last post for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge Blog...I have truly enjoyed the past umpteen years I've been a Design Team Member (and this was actually my second term). It's a sad time but I couldn't be happier with this week's challenge...PARTY TIME!!!

I chose to couple this challenge with a YouTube video (you can view the video down below), featuring the theme "Honey, I shrunk the layout" 

Here's a look at my layout using the Party Time collection from CTMH as well as the Yellow Acrylic Stars and the Happy Birthday Acrylic Shapes. I love that this layout is using a WHOLE BUNCH of birthday stuff yet it's not a birthday layout at all. AND...the little dots in the corners and under the star-groupings are from the December SOTM - Happiness Never Grows Old...

THANK YOU SO MUCH for stopping by and supporting all my H2H posts over the years! 

I hope you'll continue to follow the H2H Blog and play along with this week's challenge.
