Strawberry Wine

Good Afternoon:
We have a super easy challenge for you this week at OSAAT.....its #146 "Anything Goes" week! That means you can make any paper craft item using any theme that strikes your fancy.

It was Nataliya's turn to pick the image for her and myself and she picked a summer fresh image for us which was really nice as it is freezing where I am right now. I used the image to make something I haven`t tried before, a Bottle Tag. Once I figured out the size it needed to be, it was easy peasy from there.

Here is my Bottle Tag:

It has been so long since I've had to make a baby card, but as soon as I saw that image, I just had to work with it.
