Peace on Earth for Verve Diva Dare and Simon Says


Playing along with this month's Diva Dare today.  The challenge this month is to incorporate a tag into your project.  I decided to keep this one very clean and simple, and also went with a 'use your stash' mentality.

My tag is one of many that I have pre-cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  Since I don't have space to have all my machines out and available all the time, when I cut one, I tend to cut a whole sheet, and then I have a stack handy and don't have to pull the Cricut out every time I want a tag.

The papers are from last year's Fancy Pants Home for Christmas collection, and the sentiment is from Verve's Peace on Earth set.

The gems are old - MME Merry and Bright, and the grosgrain that peeks out beneath the sentiment piece is CTMH Cranberry Grosgrain (also old).  It's hard to tell from the photo, but that blue piece is actually popped up off the tag for some extra dimension.

So there you have it, a very CAS new, but old card.

I'm also linking up with Simon Says Stamp this week since it's an Anything Goes challenge.

Thanks for coming by and hope that you have a safe and fun Halloween!  (They are calling for rain here today, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that it somehow misses us....)

  6. Brilliant tag, Miriam. I love the USE YOUR STASH mentality. I've intentionally stayed away from buying any new patterned paper because I have enough to wallpaper my entire house. Yes, new papers are released by all my favorite companies, and boy are they cute, but I have put my OWN foot down and refused. Your tag has just the right amount of fabulous design and your touches of bling are beautiful. Well done!
