Tag You're It 18

It's Friday!  Yay!  And time for a new challenge at Tag You're It!  Nancy is our hostess this week and our inspiration is a beautiful floral tag she made.  Here's my take on it.

I was inspired by the colors and the layout of Nancy's tag.  But instead of a floral design I went with feathers.  I embossed those in Melon Mambo and Tangerine Tango on vellum then fussy cut them out.  The sentiment is from my brand "new" (to me anyway) vintage Dymo labeler that I recently got on eBay.

A while back I got a stamp set (I'm sure you know which one) that resembles these old fashioned plastic labels.  I love that set and use it all the time and figured I could buy one of those label makers and then I'd be able to make any sentiment I wanted.  So I bought one and it only cost about $10.  Well after the first label I made, the thing refused to work.  It was just cheap plastic but still.  So fast forward a few months and there I am on Amazon reading the reviews for the one I bought hoping that someone had the sames issues as me and maybe, also, a way to fix it.  Lo and behold I found one with a solution!  The person that wrote the review  basically echoed my sentiment that the labeler was a piece of junk and said that he picked up a vintage one on eBay and was very happy with it.  So I did the same!  And I've got to say I love it.  It's heavy duty chrome, works like a dream and I've been sticking labels on things all over the house!

The amazing Tag You're It design team have some beauties for you to see for this challenge so head on over there to check them out.  We'd love to see your tags, your tags on cards or wherever else you can imagine using one!
