Springtime in January

SPRING

I feel like I am definitely jumping the gun on the seasons here.

I know a lot of our snow melted last weekend but

that doesn´t mean it´s spring.

These two tags came about because a bunch of my painting

friends and I are taking one of our friends out for a

surprise birthday dinner to a restaurant called

The Maganolia. I was in charge of making the card.

The photos came from a friend. I cut out the magnolias

and collaged them onto a handpainted background.

Added a strip of fabric along the top edge and finished

it off with a few stamps, papers and ribbons.

Gabi´s Tag

This is the tag we will give Gabi.

Here I added the knife, spoon and fork because on the back

it says,,,,one free dinner at The Magnolia.

Gabi loves to knit so I added and over abundance of fibers.

She can later use this as a bookmark and have a little

keepsake from all of us for her birthday in 2011.

This dinner came at the right time as these tags

fit right in over at Tag Tuesday with a bit of fabric.

Also at Wednesday Stamper where the theme is music.

Even at Take a Word where everything is beautiful.

And last but not least,,,Theme Thursday featuring spring.
