Recently, I had the most amazing opportunity to meet up with blogging friends mostly from here in the Mid-West. We had some little boxes of chocolates from my home town as table favors, and I wanted to make a tag to put on them. How fun to make tags for crafty friends who will actually appreciate them!
The guest's names were written on the orange banners after I took these photos. Here's how one looks on the box of chocolates:

Oh, how awesome! Double treats with the chocolates and the wonderful sweet tags! I'm sure it was a great time getting together with crafty friends, so fun!
ReplyDeleteI am honored to have one of your beautifully colored tags to look at every day, Kara. The chocolates were wonderful too.
ReplyDeletethese are so adorable...what a wonderful way to personalize a sweet gift!
ReplyDeleteThese aren't just adorable, not just beautiful, they are actually stunning. My mouth is a bit agape at all the elements working together that make these so visually arresting! (Yes, I like them.)
ReplyDeleteThese are as incredible as they are sweet! I know each of the girls loved them to bits!
ReplyDeleteThese tags look AMAZING. I love the fall colors and all the die cut details. Such beautiful coloring too. Wonderful work! Thanks for taking TIME OUT and joining our challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I was there with you all, I already know that I wouldn't get much crafty stuff done lol.
ReplyDeleteYour tags are totally adorable Kara and I'm sure they all loved their sweet gift from you. What a fun photo of you and all those lovely gals. So fun!!
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest tags ever! I was lucky enough to see one in real life and it is awesome. The coloring is stunning and the papers and frame are so pretty. What a wonderful gift, Kara. It sounds like you all had a wonderful, fun time.
ReplyDeleteyour tags are so sweet, kara and colored to perfection! sounds like you had an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteSadly the chocolates are gone Kara (hubby and I split them...he likes dark and I like milk, so it worked out perfectly and they were delicious!!), but your adorable tag is hanging right in front of me on my desk, so I see it every day!! Your coloring talent still boggles my mind, and these tags just couldn't be any cuter! Even your DSP and color cs choices all match perfectly and I will treasure this tag and the memories of that weekend forever!! Thank you, thank you my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteWe so enjoyed the scrumptious chocolates, Kara (spelled how today?!) ... and now I'm loving having Harvest Mice sitting next to me as I type, inspiring me to pratice some more! You've brought these cute little critters to life with your wonderful colouring ... they're fabulous against the fun pumpkin background in those delicious autumn colours! What a joy it was to spend such a wonderful week together ... so much laughter, happiness and marvellous memories to cherish! Delighted to have you playing along with us at Time Out! Big hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteKara, How wonderful to spend time with crafty friends... and how thoughtful of you to give a little chocolate as a table favor! I can only imagine how much your friends loved these sweet tags. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Words 2 Craft By. I just love it when folks link up non-card projects. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a treat for your friends!! They are adorable tags and what fun it must have been!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time you must have had with all those amazing ladies. I have to say I'm a little envious as I don't have anyone close to me who crafts, but thats what I get for living on the other side of the world!! Your tags are divine and your colouring of the mice really does bring them alive. And that paper you used couldn't be more perfect. I'm so very glad you shared these with us at TIME OUT!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you did a post showcasing your brilliant little tags, Ramona! Even the Mister was impressed by all the layers of perfectly matched fall colors as he munched down the dark chocks in a flash! Thank you again for making these adorable table favors for us and our guests and for the fascinating bear and mouse coloring lessons! Miss you lots and lots!! Hugs, Jonus
ReplyDeleteFinally getting around to oooing and ahhhing over your phenomenal tags! The coloring and the layering...! Masterpieces! I would have loved to be there with you (and not just because of the delicious sounding chocolates...grin...)!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite sets for creating fun autumn cards! Love the papers and fabulous colors you used to create these beauties! Thank you for joining us at W2CB!
