Made this Tim Holtz July Tag with The World A Great Adventure Travel theme. You can see details on making this at Tim Holtz's blog listed below in the challenges.

I've not traveled outside of the U.S. much but have enjoyed my travels which include: Bahamas (Freeport), Canada (Niagara Falls, Ontario & Vancouver) and U.S.

My fav travels have included Alaska. I took a cruise & a land tour and would go back to Alaska in a heartbeat. I would do the land tour first this time followed by the cruise.

Wedding Layered Cake Tag

Made this using a new Spellbinders die, Layered Cake, I bought with 60% off coupon at Michaels.

Used Xyron 2.5" Create-a-Sticker to give purple cardstock adhesive before cutting 'Best Wishes' sentiment. Tricky part was not losing the dot for the 'i' in 'Wishes' sentiment and peeling off the backing on such a tiny piece but with tools it was not impossible.























Supplies List 

adhesive:  foam, Scotch ATG, Xyron sticker, Zig 2 Way glue pen
Die-Namics: die - Tag Stax 
ink: none
machine: Sizzix, 
   Xyron 2.5" Create-a-Sticker - used on purple cardstock before cutting out Best Wishes
   sentiment since this makes it have adhesive there after you just peel off the backing
paper: cardstock - purple, white glitter, Darice purple Plaid
   scrapbook - Wedding Words
punch: Crop-A-Dile - to make hole for ribbon
ribbon: Spool 'O Ribbon light purple
Spellbinders: die - Layered Cake, Sentiments One - Best Wishes, Shape Banner
stamp:  none
tool: MISTI
