So, allow me to be the first to wish you a happy "National Play-Doh Day!" Play-Doh: like currency for the kindergarten set ... don't leave home without it!
ONward Hoarding-Card-Makers:
Today's paper project was created for the "Tag You're It" blog challenge. This week, Anne and Sam challenged us to create a tag using a monochromatic color scheme. It doesn't get any more boring monochromatic than brown, brown, kraft, and brown!
My no-stampin' tag was created using gallons of walnut ink, my back-asswards Cuttlebug embossing folder, and some metal edged tags.
I layered the tags so that the embossed patterns matched up, punched out three butterflies, tied on some walnut ink stained string, and finis! Down and dirty, quick and easy!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch:
This neighborhood used to be such a nice, quiet boondocks ... usually the only excitement we have is when someones horses escape ... or the infrequent Polo-pony-napping.
But just yesterday, a couple of kids in the neighborhood were arrested; one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.
They charged one and let the other one off ...
Seriously.

You are so funny! I really, really like this tag! Love all the brown and the butterflies. I think I want that back-asswards embossing folder and that gorgeous butterfly punch. Before finding your blog and ogling all your wonderful creations, I never even considered to use punches on a card. Yes, I know...I am a little slow, but eventually I'll catch on;o) Great tag, Deb!!!
Oh my gosh, just been over to Carolyns blog and had another big sigh moment and then came of to your and gues what ?? another big sigh moment I seem to be doing a lot of that lately.
What can I say its perfect!!

Love the brown tag even if it is boring, I still love it. I got charged today too, I decided to change a burned out temp. reader in my oven and found out electricity should have been shut off. Wires and screwdrivers don't blend well. I had a hot flash ( kind of like the old days) but other then perhaps needing a haircut to remove the dead ends I am fine. Have a great weekend. Pat
LOL, too funny! Love your tag. It is gorgeous. I don't know how you managed to make that color look elegant, but you did. Wow.
