First up is Melanie's newest set, Pretty Patterns.......


I was in a Southwest kinda mood....probably cuz it was so stinkin' hot I thought I was in Arizona! LOL  I used Pure Luxury of course....Lipstick Red and Wild Dandelion along with the Black Onyx.  I used the Spellbinders Grommet Tags dies for the sentiment.

Now Tami's new Grand Tags............


Ok now how many of you guessed that I would stamp a pink piano??!!!  I bet some of you did! LOL  Yep....just couldn't resist!!!  I used the Spellbinders Label 3 to layer under the stamped label that I hand cut.  Yep....got more Spellbinders on my wish list! LOL  Now how could I resist some ribbon and pearls for an elegant pink piano??!!  ;)

Check out the fabulous inspiration from the DT here:
