scrap valentine tag

5 MINUTE GRAB CHALLENGE

 

I always do a little prep work prior to Papertrey Ink's anniversary festivities and stamp-a-faire (it really narrows my focus and thus, I become much more productive).  The most important thing I do is make a list of projects I need to create and a few ideas for each . . .

 

I wanted to create something vintage-ish to really make my mother's valentines day gift special (she's 85) so I grabbed my folders of red patterned paper scraps, and the black one, too. I had already decided to make a tag, so I grabbed a tag die, heart die, a  stamp set and it's coordinating die - I thought about crocheted lace, but settled on a scrap of wrinkled seam binding.

 

It just took some trimming and distressing of all the scraps and . . . voila!
