don't forget to play!

This year I'm making a conscious effort to play. 

No plan, no schedule. Just grab a bunch of stuff and see what I can do.

I adore tags- there is something about them that fills me with ideas.

Many times I use manila shipping tags- they're great. This time I had a piece of watercolor paper laying on my table (because I was too lazy to put it away the night before) so that's what I used. Just cut it to a random size and away I went...

Fussy cut flowers, machine stitching, sequins. 
Oh.my. 
Sequins. 
My latest obsession- I like lots of layers and lots of embellishment, but lately need to keep things as flat as possible (been doing a LOT of traveler's notebook pages). Sequins fit that bill perfectly!

Added to the back of the tag is a lined card that can be used to write a sweet message.

Just a little more sparkle and some beautiful silk ribbon to finish it up.

Give yourself permission to get out there and play!
