Monday made: Saying thank you

The hubby has been asking me to make a lil something for some of the doctors we see (such as Junior J's PD), as a small token of thankfulness for all their care and help for the past few years.  I've been putting it off for the longest of time, having not much inspiration on what to make for them... But this weekend, with us being stuck at home (as both boys were sick), I decided to get cracking on the gifts, and ended up making tags, similar to the one I just made for Layla.

So here's one that I've managed to complete (the other 2 are still in progress):

Handmade roses, misted in blue.  I love how these blooms can dress up jars, or even layouts! :)
You can view the tutorial for making the roses here. 

Little chipboard birdie on a branch.  The bird was painted blue, and outlined with stickles, while the branch was coloured using distressed stains and inks.

I really love Pink Paislee's ink resist papers!  These have been misted in blue and green, and then distressed using brown inks to let the patterns show up.  

Again, I used a CD Rom for a base for the tag.  :)  Have loads of these lying around the study!

Well, I hope you had a blessed weekend... I've just realized that we have less than 10 weeks to get ready for number 2 (starts running around and panicking), so I'm off to finish the other tags and declutter and pack!
