I've used papers from Maja Vintage Autumn Basics.  Since the papers are double sided, I chose to you both sides, then mixed and matched other papers from this collection to decorate 2 of the tags.

Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Brushed Corduroy and Chipped Sapphire along with  Lawn Fawn Freshly Cut Grass were used to add color to the elements.

Using the tags as stencils, I cut the base papers to fit, then tore additional papers.  I distresssed the edges to get an "old world" effect.

Merry Christmas was die cut using papers from the same collection with a Lawn Fawn Border Die.  Finally, I used twine to complete the tags.

Using Tim Holtzz Idea-ology cardstock in Cool, I cut the cardstock to fit the large office tags, then cut assorted Blue Fern papers to fit.  One tag uses Junket, one uses Notes from Abroad and the other uses Intercontinental.  

Each piece was inked with Distress Oxide Inks in either Speckled Egg or Ground Espresso.

The tags were assembled, holes punched in the tops and sheer ribbon added to each.

Each of the papers has small phrases, so I die cut those phrases for 2 of the tags and matted with the same cardstock used on the tag.  The 3rd tags uses a phrase from Stamping Bella's Molly Makes a Detour. 

Using Distress Oxide Inks in Abandoned Coral, Mowed Grass, Speckled Egg, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade, I inked each Scrapaholics Chipboard Explore Tag a different color.

Selecting papers from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Kraft  cardstock - Cool, I cut them to fit the tags.   Then, selecting papers from the Graphic 45 Bird Watcher Collection - Feather Your Nest, Flock Together, Beautiful Morning and Learn to Fly, I cut them to fit the cardstock.  The panel were then added to the tags.

The bird panels were cut from the Learn to Fly paper also matted with cardstock then added to the tags.  The chipboard tags were then tied to each tag with bakers twine.

I wanted to create a bright and colorful card using one of the frames from the Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Farmhouse Garden Chipboard Frames set.

I wanted the frame to stand out but wanted some background dimension  on the card so I used the Ciao Bella Blossom Stencil.

I used Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Abandoned Coral, repeatedly moving the stencil around the card.

I poured Ranger Clear Embossing Powder over the stenciled design and used the Sizzix Making Essentials Anti Static Funnel Tray to catch the embossing powder.  I usually get embossing powders and glitters everywhere, but this tray made it so easy to keep the embossing powder from exploding.

I think it made a wonderful background for the card.

I cut a panel of Simple Stories Vintage Farmhouse Garden to fit behind one of the frames, then adhered the panel to the card.  Inside the card, I added another sheet of paper from this collection to finish.

The phrase was stamped with Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Ink, die cut with Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Circle Die and matted with a larger die.

I found this Scrapaholics Chipboard - Catch Your Dream - an amazing element to work with.  At approximately 8" x 2 3/4", it stands alone as a perfect embellishment.

I used assorted Ranger Distress Oxide Inks to add color - Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, Ground Espresso, and Mowed Lawn as my first layer of color.

I added Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Faded Jeans for a final color.

Once all the colors were added, I added Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  Since I am forever getting embossing powder and glitters all over the place, I found the Sizzix - Making Essentials Anti Static Funnel Tray by Tim Holtz invaluable!  Now all my powders stay within the confines of the Funnel Tray and easily pour back into the original jar.

I wanted to add this piece to a journal and the store has tons of journals you can use to document your dreams.  To add a touch of color to the background I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays.  Each set of sprays are highly pigmented and achieve amazing results.   

What a great way to remind yourself of what it is you want to achieve/do in your life.   Alternatively, you could even use this piece on a canvas and hang on the wall so you see it every day as a reminder of what you are chasing.

Who wouldn't want to be in this Meadow?  I've used the Lawn Fawn Meadow Backdrop Horizontal, but you could also use the Lawn Fawn Meadow Backdrop Landscape for a different effect.

Each set includes the outer panel with grass that creates the Meadow Backdrop.  I die cut it from Bazzill Cardstock, then inked the grass with Distress Oxide Ink in Bundled Sage to give the grass some dimension.  Creating a card from Bazzill Icy Mint Cardstock, I adhered the panel to the card.

To complete the scene, I added the clouds, flowers and bumbles bees that were included with the main die and finished with elements from Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome stamp set which were colored  with Copic Markers.

The white layers were inked with Distress Oxide Ink in Bundled Sage.  All 4 layers were gently folded at the center and a bead of Beacon 3 in1 Adhesive was added along the centers to hold the pages together.  

Once dried, I gently formed the pages with my fingers giving them definition.  Glue Dots were added along the edges of each page keep them defined.
