Tag Class Time... 45

Hi there! Hope you all had a great weekend! Scott and I are driving over to San Diego for a few days with Meredith, Connor and Emily, (Connor's GF). We have lots of activities planned such as visiting the San Diego Zoo, Sea World and the Wild Animal Park. I know my feet are going to be screaming, but it will be worth it ;) While there, I also get to visit the sweet ladies at one of my favorite paper crafting stores ~ Paper Tales. I am going to hand deliver the tags that I am sharing in this post today because this will be another class that I will be offering to teach on Friday, July 20th. 

We'll be learning how to make lots of our own embellishments, including rolled flowers and die cut chipboard elements.                                              

On another note, sweet Scott surprised me with the beautiful bouquet of Roses shown below in celebration of our Wedding Anniversary :)

Thanks so much for looking ~ hope you have a great day! Be Sweet :)
