Project W011: Single Page Tag Holder & Tags

Happy Friday Everyone!!! 
WOOOWW So much to share today!! OK first I passed all my finals with 2 A's and one B+!!! YAY!!! I am so happy! It was a rough and difficult semester and I can only be super happy! OK now, you might have noticed something different when you came to my blog today. I have  my own domain!! Yipeee! SO what that means to you my followers is now you can visit me by simply going to www.hausofw.com neat huh? OH and don't worry if you use the old URL you can still reach this blog, you will be redirected (thanks blogger) nice! OK another different thing today is my watermark, I got rid of the old one and made a new one, I think it goes better with the overall look of the blog, what do you all think?

Aside from all these changes I also have a new ProjectW for my Jodie Lee Design Team to share today, fun, easy, and fast! Let me show it to you first.









Fun isn't it? Can you believe it was done with ONE sheet of patterned paper? OH yes, that's the best part! Totally had fun making this and I hope you do too, and be sure to visit Jodie's Etsy to find all of the goodies I used here, including the Nature Garden Collection, Chipboard, and Flowers too! 
Here is your project sheet:





Thank You for stopping by today! Have a great weekend!

I've had a real garden in my scraproom this month with all the beautiful Manor House flowers I received! On this first tag I used the sweet Sprinkles flower in lime, they are the perfect size for tags and go perfectly with the Scrapcake My Private Happiness collection that I chose. Its a simple pocket tag, I just fussy cut the scalloped edge and attached that to a tag I cut from another paper making a pocket to hold one of the precut tags in the collection. The smaller tag is the perfect size to hold a gift card and slip into the pocket.
I also used the Sprinkles flowers on my 2nd tag but this time I dyed them black and copper using alcohol ink so that the flowers would match my papers. The fun thing for me about this tag is that I stamped and embossed the Chinese characters that you see and they spell my given name, Margaret. I was named after an aunt and she traveled to China and brought back this stamp.
Thank you Manor House for sharing your beautiful blooms with the creative team at the Flying Unicorn!

Next is some tags I created with these beautiful flowers! Had tons of fun with these lovely blooms!

“Working with Manor House flowers has been a complete fun experience. These flowers are so versatile and great to ink, mist and distress. For my first tag I used a more purple color palette with some darker colors, so to add a bit of pop I used some of the beautiful sprinkles flowers in pink and a gorgeous Country Lane flower in purple, really beautiful flowers indeed! For the second tag I misted some of the wonderful Plain Jane flowers as well as a gorgeous Shimmers in snow with some gold glimmer mist, its amazing how well these lovely flowers absorb color, so amazing!”

Now an awesome RAK!! SOOO pretty!!!

Lovely Day Card: Basically Bare

Happy Tuesday!
It is starting to get warm here in Los Angeles, someone please send me rain lol, I am sure we only had about 2 days of rain! I cannot complain though, I got some crafting done this past few days and I am a happy camper, Air Conditioning and all. Today I am sharing a lovely card I made using some awesome Basically Bare embellies, love them, and love the card, its a unique LONG card, oh yeah, its oddly shaped, but that's what makes it so special, take a look!






Those birds, aren't they just the CUTEST? Yes clear, and yes awesome! Love them! Love the frame too, so versatile and love the fact that these embellies can take ink, and stamping so well! Perfect to alter!

Hope I was able to inspire you today! Have a good Tuesday!
