Don't Be Square at Moving Along With The Times

Oh boy am I late!!! I'm so sorry to my lovely teamies, with all the glorious hot weather we have had it's been really busy at the seaside and work has gone a bit mental, I've had no time to craft or blog so I'm very sorry not to have visited you all again this week!! It's raining as I type so I've managed to sneak home and make this little tag to share with you for this weeks challenge at


It's my lovely friend and teamie,  Debs first time hosting since she joined us and she has set a theme of 
'Don't Be Square'
Now I know many of you will love this idea but it sends me into panic lol, I only know how to make square cards, I see all these gorgeous round and shaped cards and I'd love to be able to make them, and as soon as I get time I will adventure into them! I decided that I would make a gift tag.
I apologise for the picture its blurred but as I'm already 7 hours late posting this I didn't have time to retake it! The tag, the swirl and the leaf are all Magnolia Doo Hickey Dies and all have been distressed with TH, a mix of Walnut Stain and Spun Sugar. The ribbon, flower and rub on were all from my stash. The dress is an image I was given to play with by this weeks sponsor


who are offering this fabulous prize to the lucky winner
Please head over to the main challenge blog for all the details and to see what my fabulous friends have made for your inspiration, unlike me they were on time!!

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
