A toast to you!

I have had a pad of fun Crafty Secrets Girlfriends Notes for quite some time now, and I finally got the nerve to use one of them! Honestly, I just didn't know how to incorporate them into a card or some type of project, so they just sat gathering dust, and every once in awhile I'd stumble upon them...just waiting to be used.

This is a gift bag tag that I used for my SIL's birthday, and she's a New Year baby, so it couldn't have been more perfect for her. I added other vintage elements with the Damask Designs and Text Style sets from Papertrey Ink, and then topped the stamping with a piece of leftover K&Co. Classic K Margo patterned paper that I'd been using on my Whipper Snapper quilt cards. I topped off the image with a sentiment flag secured with a felt blossom and Foo-fa-la button.

Looking at that button reminds me of my first IRL visit with Lisa Zappa, who gave me the Crafty Secrets pad and talked me into buying the bag of Foo-fa-la buttons, all about a year ago. Here's to you, Lisa! BTW, Lisa is also the one who gave me my first Bingo card. Ü

I'll be back on Tuesday as your TCP Tuesday hipster hostess with the mostest, so be sure to stop in and play along!
