Happy New Year!!! Welcome to the first blog hop of 2013! We are so excited to share the great stamp sets we are releasing this month and the months to come. 

 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

" OH Baby"

 

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"Not So Ugly"

My first project today is actually a tag.  My daughter Kathi was at my neighbor's house just before Christmas and commented on the bottle of wine sitting on their counter, stating that she thought it was so pretty.  When they finished the wine, my neighbor gave Kathi the empty bottle.  That gave me the idea to make the tag, using a new Sizzix tag die I just found on sale.

I stamped the grapes on the tag, allowing part of it to go off the edge.  I traced the tag (using my Stampin' Up Layer Ease - now retired), on some gold foil card stock, cut it out and matted the tag.  I attached tag to the bottle with some wide gold elastic ribbon.

My card for today spotlights one of the sentiments from today's set.  I used a new toy on this card -- the A2 Polka Dot die for the "frame."

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team members' blogs to see what they did with No Sour Grapes. I was at a bit of a disadvantage here -- I don't drink wine!  Make sure you comment on as many blogs as you want -- you could win a free stamp set.
