What a day! When I saw the thread to-day I thought 'What a fun challenge"! After spending the morning searching for my crimper I finally realized that my friend 'Tea Bag' had borrowed it..heavy sigh! But..as a result of the search I found a stash of these corrugated tags and also some chalkboard pieces. BONUS!! By the time I got everything together there wasn't much of my afternoon left so the background frame folder is from Cuttlebug and the gold greeting is from Starform stickers. I just had to add a few stitches with my white gel pen. Whew..what an exhausting day!! Thanks for looking.

Wow this is eye candy to me!!! I do not know how you got your embossing like that, but I love it! Then to make the tag with corrugated kraft and black is just gorgeous!!!! I love the twine!!

In spite of spending the day searching instead of creating, you've got a really cute card, Sue. Glad you got the bonus of the tags and chalkboard pieces from your search. They combine so nicely with that cool embossed bg. My searches are always after I've gone on an organizing spree. I put things away in such safe places!!!

Finding the stuff I know that’s around here somewhere is the hardest part and so time consuming. It is often when I settle for what I can find, that my best design comes together. Love this card and all the components and your color combo...it’s delightful.

I purged an enormous amount of my stash this spring....would have to live to be 150 years old to use it all. Like the simple design, and your bg looks like soft leather. Very pretty. TFS

I just love the look of your corrugated tag combined with the chalkboard element. The thick black and white twine is perfect. I'm sorry you had "one of those frustrating days" in the craft room, but your resulting card looks fantastic!

I think this is marvelous! I love the clean and simple look. It's always fun to find treasures that I have stashed away in my craft room. These were great finds!
