Baseball Tag

Happy Friday!! I hope you all have big plans this weekend! So far we having nothing to exciting happening but that could all change! Anyway I just wanted to share a real simple and quick tag I made using Emma from My Creative Time  "Tag Dies" ! Long story short we bought my son a bag to hold his bat, some baseballs , glove and helmet. Some how someway someone seems to have walked off with it! I am NOT saying it was stolen but it has yet to be returned! A great deal of his baseball team has the same bag. No biggy but foolish us ( ME) didn't have his name on it! I went and bought him a new one and insisted he has his name on it!

So I pulled out Emma's "Tag Dies" and ran that through my Big Shot twice so I could have two. I wanted this tag to be seen on both sides and show off her signature stitching and these wonderful images ~ oh an my son's name! LOL!! Then I pulled out some of her AWESOME stamp sets that SCREAM baseball and sports! Emma's "Sport Sentiments" and "Grand Slam" work fabulously and I just went to town! I picked the images and sentiments that I liked and fit my son! I then decided to pull out one of my FAVORITES of Emma's stamps, "Anyday Bingo & Crossword" for his name! How about these little letters fit PERFECTLY in the baseball image! I can't tell you how excited I was when I realized this! I also decided to just use black and red ink! In the Spring time he was on Team Black and for Fall ball he is on Team Red! So these colors work fit both of his teams. I then just used ATG tape and adhered them together. I wanted to laminate it so it would hold up to the weather and his little hands. I used a ring for keys so we could attach it to his zipper on his bag. I did add ribbon for the picture but unfortunately he did not want the ribbon on his bag! His tag his bag and his choice!!

  2. OMG, this is so cute, Kim! I had to laugh; when I first saw it, I was thinking, "Wow! Ryan lets her get cute ribbon near his baseball bag? She has him trained!" I'm glad to hear he put a stop to that! Super cute for the picture, though! He must love everything about this! The crisp colors are perfect, and I love his name spelled out in baseballs!!!

  4. I was thinking like Katie about the ribbon... LOL. Super cute, you are so so creative Kim. But couldn't someone just undo that adorable tag from the bag? I am sure Ryan just loves it (without the ribbon, I personally LOVE the ribbon - I think it must be a guy thing.. I hope you have an exciting fun week end..hugs
