One of my customers recently mentioned while at a Class that she was going to make homemade clam chowder for dinner that night.

Follow Your Dreams Bag Tag

I'm at the Stampin' Up! 30th Anniversary On Stage (convention) in Orlando, Florida today. I know I'm having a great time catching up with friends and learning about new products. One of the perks of attending these events is always a fun bag to carry all our supplies and goodies. Since they all look alike though, I like to make myself a bag tag with my contact information on the back. It makes it easier for me to identify my bag out of all the bags there and if it gets lost, someone can contact me to let me know they found it. I made this tag using the Follow Your Dreams Bundle for my bag this time.

Uses Follow Your Dreams Clear-Mount Stamp Set plus Powder Pink Cardstock, Berry Burst Classic Stampin' Pad, Whisper White Cardstock, Silver Glimmer Paper, Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems, Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine, Clear Block G, Clear Block I, Grid Paper, Paper Snips, Paper-Piercing Tool, Stampin' Trimmer, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Chase Your Dreams Framelits, Big Shot Die Brush, Precision Base Plate, Magnetic Platform, Big Shot Platform, and Standard Cutting Pads.

Here is a link to the directions for the Follow Your Dreams Bag Tag.
