Oh Baby!

Did you know that Chic Tags has some really cute baby themed tags?  They are part of a recently released collection called Oh Baby!  There is a pink line for girls and a blue line for boys.  It's been a while since I have heard the pitter patter of little feet in my home, but I just had to use these sweet tags on a layout.  

This is where sweet, sweet Ella comes in.

This little lady sure knows how to light up a room.  She's so intelligent, and cuter than a button.  Her mom sent me this adorable photo of her loving her new pink tutu, a perfect match for the Oh Baby! collection.

Because I didn't really have the exact shade of pink in any of my patterned papers, I decided to go with a variety of pinks, mixed with some black, white, and off white.  I really like the end result.

If you know my scrappy style, you know how much I love office supply tags.  How cute are these Oh Baby! ones, shown here tucked behind the "Sweet Baby Girl Icon"

That super cute chevron card is also form the collection

See that circle/star cut file?  It's a Chic Tags cut file, you can grab it yourself for FREE right here.

I many no longer have babies to raise, but I am not going to let that stop me from using the adorable Oh Baby collection.

Hope you feel inspired to create something beautiful today!

Let's Get Sketchy Reveal

We have a brand new sketch for you up at Let's Get Sketchy today.  Ashley Horton is not only a fabulous designer, but she creates some pretty mean sketches as well.  Here is what I've done with this week's sketch.

The photos are of our quick trip to Minneapolis at the beginning of May.  It was such a nice time to be alone with only Isabelle.  We haven't been just the 3 of us for over 11 years. We got in some shopping, strolled downtown Minneapolis (ate at the amazing Hell's Kitchen restaurant, best lunch I've had in a long time), spent some time in the pool.  I even got to meet up with a scrappy friend I made online through Instagram.  She introduced me the gem of the store known as Typo, spent a lot of time in there,  so much fun stuff to look at.  We then hit Archiver's for a few scrappy purchases, of course we did.  And after all that we did actually go and spend some time watching Belle actually dance.  She only danced one day, but we had to be there a few days prior, so a mini vacation with our first born was most definitely in order.

Here is Ashley's original sketch.

I used the new Fancy Pants Park Bench Collection, and some brand new Pebbles alphas that I won at Crop & Create Winnipeg.

I hid the journaling on a shipping tag behind the photo.  This flair is a Cre8tive Cre8tions flair piece, you can find the set in Andrea's shop here.  The moustache flair piece is from The Paper Bakery.  Sara create some fabulous flair also.  You can see her sets here.

We've had some really great entries lately, must be all the great sketches, it would be great to see you link up with us.  You can check out what the rest of the DT did with this week's sketch here on the blog.

Thanks so much for popping in today friends, I hope your week is off to a good start. Pin It

Blogapalooza Style!

Welcome to our Hop!

Chic Tags has teamed up with Media Butterflies to bring you a fantastic blog hop today.   There are many, MANY prizes and FREEBIES up for grabs along the way so be sure to visit each blog along the way.  It all ends at the Chic Tags blog, with  one amazing grand prize.  Veronica is so incredibly wonderful, and gracious, and she is extending that in a big way to one lucky hopper this week.  If you have arrived here from Corinne's blog then you're on the right track.  If this is your first stop on our hop, you'll want to go back to the Chic Tags blog to get your line up and follow along.

I have a layout using the recently released Road Trip Tags to share with you today.  The collection is perfect for all the photos I have of our recent trip to Calgary & Banff, Alberta for Spring Break.

I captured this shot while riding the gondola up Sunshine Mountain for the first time.  It's always so peaceful in the gondola.  There are barely any words spoken as everyone is always taking in the awe inspiring beauty of the magnificent snow capped mountains, the tall, full, beautiful spruce trees, and the glorious sunshine streaming all around. 

Despite the breath taking beauty there is a small bit of fear and anxiety as I anticipate the huge, steep hills that both terrify and electrify me at the top.  Journaling reads: I'm always a mix of excitement and anxiety as we go up the gondola.  So much beauty all around - but such big hills await."

To achieve that 3D effect on the Number Tag, I simply fussy cut out the arrow and used 3D foam adhesive to pop it up in the same spot it was cut from.

How about a giveaway?  One lucky winner from my blog will win themselves a package of Chic Tags recently released Birthday Cake collection.

Simply leave me a comment, along with your email address, and I will draw a winner on Thursday at 11:59PM EST.  All winners will be announced on the Social Media Butterflies blog on Friday, May 3rd.  Good luck!

Your next stop along our hop is Ellie.  Thanks for stopping by today, and playing along with us. Remember there are several prizes, and freebies along the hop, so be sure to stop at every blog along the way.  Happy Hopping friends!
