Theme this month is DO YOUR OWN THING.

I have made a Tag book to show off Smeared Ink's rubber stamps.  Check out the Smeared Ink Rubber Club for more information on how to get your crafty hands on these wonderful sets.  There are 8 pages and each have pockets to hold tags.  In the folding of this, there are also 2 extra pockets that are in between pages.  A total of 10 tags have been completed for this project.

There are a lot of pictures for this project so I will not keep you reading long.  That will be saved for after the picts.  You all know how much I like the deets!  Enjoy and happy hopping.

Hello again!  

I wanted to keep the front and back pretty plain since there is so much going on in the inside.  I was going to try to stick to one stamp set, but as the theme was, Do Your Own Thing. So, I tried to use as many stamps from as many sets as I possibly could.  

I love to layer and had so much fun mixing and matching sets.

I am going to give the gist of the deets and then the supplies and stamp sets listed below.

Thanks again for hopping and hope this was some inspiration for you for the week.  Now, go get crafty!
