Hey everyone...sorry I haven't posted in a few days. It's been kinda crazy at the Henderson House lately. My son, Tre' started his first job last week...I'll share a pic of him towards the end of the post. My niece turned 30 this past weekend so we went to her super FUN birthday party. Which brings me to post for today...I wanted to share with you a card I made for her.
I used DCWV's Chateau Lavender paper stack for this card...I LOVE this stack!!
I stamped the sentiment on a Kraft tag I tea stained & then blended a couple different TH Distress Inks to make it look like it came with the Chateau Lavender collection. The crinkle ribbon from May Arts goes so well with this card..love it.
Here I used some Prima floral lace trim around the tag. I secured a fabric flower from Mon Ami Gabby (I have to tell you that I found this amazing company at the CK Convention earlier this year and I am a HUGE fan of their products) and then used a garment pin to secure it along with some twine to the lace trim.
I fell in love with this card and almost didn't want to give it away...lol : )
Now for a pic of my son Tre'....
Such a handsome young man don't ya think??? This was taken the day he was "officially" hired : )
Ok so here's another random photo...this was taken at my niece's birthday party....
This picture just cracks me up...she had a photo booth set up at her party & it was a HUGE hit. Yes..that's Mr.ScrappinAbby ; )

Happy Friday my creative friends..I am so glad the weekend is upon us. I have a ton of scrappy projects I am working on..and I can't wait to spend some serious hours in my craft room.
I wanted to share some tea stained tags I made last week. I have these in my ScrappinAbby nook at my friend Mindy's store, Not Too Shabby, in Albany, OR. I like to have small items like this in my space along with some of the other crafty items I make.
Here's the staining phase....
I cut some flower & tag shapes with my Tim Holtz Sizzix dies w/my Vagabond. I also stained some Kraft tags and Avery shipping tags too. The flowers & tags in this picture aren't paper but some sort of canvasy type fabric material...I don't sew can you tell : )
Here's the end result of all the items I stained-minus the flowers as I am trying a new stamping technique on those and they aren't done yet.
I used a couple different Tim Holtz Distress Inks on these tags to give them a worn aged look. I thought it looked pretty cool with the Forest Moss ink on the butterflies & on some of the other stamped images.
These are the fabric/canvas tags. I used Dusty Concord for the stamped images. They turned out pretty shabby-licious I think : )
All packaged and ready to go : )
I'll do a post tomorrow with all my scrappy goodies at Not Too Shabby..which includes these tags.
This is a fun and super easy way to create your own distressed tags & flowers. My 16yr old son Tre' thought I was crazy when he first saw me dipping fabric and paper in the tea...lol : )
Thanks for stopping by & checking out what I'm up to...I appreciate you all.
Be sure to come back for another scrappy post.
Happy Scrappin!!
