Be Happy!

Good morning everyone!

DeeDee here today sharing with you a tag I made at last week's Saturday Craft Fair. 

Saturday Craft Fair is a time on each Saturday where crafty folks gather and stream live to do projects with you! I'll be there every last Saturday of the month from 11 am to 12 pm. And I'll ALWAYS be using VLVS!  :) Our very own Susan streams every week and lots of other great crafters, too!

Here is the tag I made:

I used the following stamps:
Flying Bird Trio 4.25x1 - $4.50

Elephant on bike 2.75x5 - $13.00

Party Hat 1.25x1.5 - 6.25

The paper is by Teresa Collins, The ribbon May Arts, the brad Basic Grey. The washi tape is from Gauche Alchemy, the mist is Tattered Angels, the layered chipboard is UmWowStudio. I used a black pen to draw the lines on the outside, a dymo label maker for the Be Happy and distress makers to color the hat. All stamps are stamped in black archival ink.

You can watch a full video here (beware.. it's a recorded session almost an hour long with converstaion) here.
