Good morning stampers! A couple of things to share this morning. First, there are ONLY 3 SPOTS left for Bingo on August 17th, so make sure you register today for the event. Second, I have a quick thank you tag to share that is easy to make. Just a quick post before I head out to my garden to yank some weeds. Tomorrow is garden waste pick-up, and the weeds are taking over, so it’s a no-brainer to haul some of them out.
ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT for Stampin’ Up! Bingo on Friday, August 17th at 5:00pm

Today’s quick thank you tag is something that I whipped up earlier this summer, with new stamps and colours. While we usually think of tags on holiday gifts, this one would work well on a gift bag, or around the neck of a bottle of wine. I used the small thanks sentiment from the new Itty Bitty Greetings on the background, while stamping a larger greeting from All Things Thanks in the centre of the tag.
When I cut paper for a tag, I usually cut an entire sheet and then leave the extras stacked for when I need them. Since they’re 4-1/4″ long by 2″ wide, you can get 10 out of a sheet with very little waste. Punch the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, and you just need to stamp and embellish them.
I have added a bit of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper to the bottom of this one, which gave me the colours for the ink on the tag. (Did you remember to order your BOGO paper? You only have 12 hours left!) Tranquil Tide and Soft Sea Foam look well together, and the Grapefruit Grove adds that perfect punch.

Time for weed yankage! It’s been an odd summer. So much heat with no rain for several weeks, and then it seemed like we received a bit of rain everyday. Based on the size of the fruit and veggies out there it was too little, too late, but at least everything has survived. I’ll take it! Happy stamping and I’ll see you tomorrow… it’s the start of Bonus Days!
