Link Up the Love Party with K Andrew: Fall Tag (Post #3, Project #1, Tag #1)

I have managed to finish something that has been on my Inspired Tasks to Complete list for quite some time now.  I have seen so many beautiful tags that fellow bloggers have made over the last few months.  Each time, I mentioned that I was so eager to complete one myself.  I felt so inspired by all the talent I had been viewing.

Well, I am happy to announce that my first tag is now complete.   Insert ***Hoorays and Applause***

I am linking this project up to the monthly Getting Cricky with K Andrew:  Link Up the Love Party.   This Link Up Party has been a constant for me over the last few months {with the exception of a few that I didn't get the chance to participate in :O( }.  It has been a way to gain new followers, and we all know what that means.....INSPIRATION, INSPIRATION, INSPIRATION.   I have also been blessed to meet some wonderful people along the way and they are the best bloggie friends a girl could have!!!  I am so happy to have the opportunity to participate again this month with my Fall/Halloween project today.  This tag has got to be my new favorite (I'm probably being a bit partial because I had so much fun making it...LOL)

 

I was actually quite impressed on the minimal amount of time it actually took to create it, too.  I started with 
TP rolls that I had been saving (for just this task alone) and used Mod Podge to adhere my Fall Leaves Paper to the front and back.  I did this by wrapping the paper completely around the perimeter of the roll and folding in the edges to eliminate multiple creases on the finished product.  I then placed some brown ribbon across the bottom with a yellow button at each end.  I added a Fall embellishment between the two buttons.  I was able to find one lonely red leaf in my stash to add to the tag as well.  I got out my corsage pins and bead collection to make a stick pin to add behind the FALL sentiment embellishment.  I found some gorgeous brown beads to use as an added contrast to all the oranges, reds, and yellows I already had used.  The top bead had some gold glitter accent to it, which I felt was just the right added bit of pizazz!  I used a round sticker with leaves by Bo Bunny and some bling rhinestones by Darice at the top of the tag.  Once this was all complete, I inserted a brown brad into the top, but only through the center of the roll so the prongs would not show on the other side.  I poked the brad prongs through my glitter yellow ribbon and expanded.  Once this was complete, all that I had left to do was to Mod Podge the inside and pinch it together with clothespins to dry.  Now that I look at the inserted pictures, the only thing I would change, is that I would have angled the corners before step #1 (blonde moment again, LOL)!
