Shabby Tea Room challenge -sponsored by Stamp Simply Ribbon store

Hi everyone!  Today I have a set of Thank you tags for the current Shabby Tea Room challenge.  This week, Sharon's store, Stamp Simply Ribbon Store is SPONSORING the challenge!  She is offering up an AMAZING prize package for one lucky winner!!  What is it you ask?  A Stamp Simply Thrift Shop Kit, valued at $36!!  Here is the Shabby Tea Room's challenge inspiration picture.  Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?!?

This amazing picture inspired me to use October Afternoon, Ducks In a Row pattern paper and a sentiment from my new set, Everyday Greetings to make a set of thank you tags!!  I love the sentiments in this stamp set.  They are THICK.  Kwim?  By thick I mean, not thin letter font and that gives it a more cute and fun feel to it.  AND it's easy to read when stamped on pattern paper.

The tags were made with my Labels Four Nesties with the bottom and sides trimmed off.  Each tag uses polka dotted paper, but have different embellies and ribbon on them.

All papers, Nestabilities, ribbons and string can be found at Sharon's Store.

My first tag uses the 3/8" pink velvet ribbon, 1/4" cream silk ribbon and the "thank you" was punched out from the Alphabet paper in the pack accented by 3 small green rhinestones.

This next tag uses the same 3/8" velvet ribbon and dotted paper.  I added some string around the top instead of silk ribbon, used a glittered chipboard flower (Melissa Frances) and layered it with a die cut flower with a button top!

My last tag uses a different piece of dotted paper, with some Hawaiian Shores cardstock accents.  The flower bloom is made from the Blossom Nesties and a Sweet blossom flower from Zva Creative.

Hey, several of SSRS DT have also played along!!  Here is a list, check them out and see the fabulous creations they were inspired to make.

Kitchen/Driveway Remodel update:
The kitchen remodel is moving right along -kinda.  I never realized just HOW LONG each and every step takes.  Yeah, I picked out my flooring, quartz countertop, designed the new layout and purchased my cabinets.  That was a huge step.  Now I am working on contractor bids for all the work.  Taking FOREVER!  Why does it take almost 2 weeks and 3 phone calls to get a bid?  Don't they WANT the money?  Anyway, here are some timelines that are in no way etched in stone: 
-June 10th demo begins on our driveway, the left side of our garage floor and our walkway
-June 14th construction of the new driveway, garage and walkway
-July 4th weekend, demo on our kitchen (we are doing this ourselves to save money)
-July 6th contractor begins work of electrical, plumbing, wall removal, patchwork, etc begins
-July 9th or 12th cabinets install begins
-July 14th flooring installed
-July 22nd countertop installation

Paper plates, bbque, and doing dishes in the bathtub for a month, HERE I COME!  LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!  Stay tuned on Wednesday, I have a special blog hop post and it's MY day to post on Verve's Project Parade!!
