Thank you for your friendship Tag

Created this Thank You Tag by recycling a box panel from Panera Bread restaurant that has the Eiffel Tower on it. 

Thought I had a 'Merci' stamp but did not find one in my huge stamp collection. So, I  embossed 'Merci Thank You' using  a Cuttlebug embossing folder and fussy cutting out the words I wanted. Stamped a Hero Arts sentiment.

Inked edges. Added feather, flowers, gem and ribbon.

Eiffel Tower Fleur De Lis Merci Gift Bag

Created this Clean & Simple CAS Gift Bag for friend who gives me her People & other magazines when she is done reading/looking at them for me to enjoy. Today, is Bastille Day so I made the Gift Bag with a French theme.

Eiffel Tower Shaped merci Card

Created this shaped card using Children Around The World Cricut Lite cartridge that I bought on clearance at WalMart. WalMart is no longer going to have Cricut Lite cartridges or any Cricut products in stores in my area of Central TX.


Used my Gypsy to make the shaped card. Used my Lawn Fawn Smitty's ABCs to make the 'merci' sentiment.
