Behind closed doors…

You never know what’s behind a door, do you? Well, despite the creepy exterior of this wired tag, there’s a beautiful lady…

Isn’t she pretty? I used 2 sections of one of the little  Row House Books sent to me by Lisa,  (which you can buy here), cut a door in the lower half of one [...]

Saturday’s Workout…

I went to visit a friend yesterday and didn’t get around to doing much creative stuff till later in the evening, but I really like using Shrink Plastic, so I made a few little charms for SaWo.
I had punched some tags out of a sheet of black SP I’ve had for a while and I [...]

SaWo – Bandana tags!

We had a bandana tag swap on NGS earlier this year and here are a couple of examples. Trish threw us a curve by asking us to make a linked pair of tags, which was a little more complex, but they turned out great! So here are my SaWo Bandana technique tags:

Same stamps, different colour [...]

Tag, You’re it!

Anne and Sam are really naughty! I mean, Christmas in August… come on girls! Personally, the thought makes me shiver. I am very much a ‘Bah Humbug’ person – can’t stand all the forced/false gaiety around the most commercial holiday in the whole year. It’s an excuse to over-eat, overspend and over-indulge! See, I said [...]

Harry gets tagged and doodled!

I’ve been doing a whole lot of doodling lately… and Harry got well and truly doodled round and punchinella’d too (mini waste…), so here’s a combined entry for Tag, You’re It (Faux postage) and Layers of Colour (yellow):

Harry is one of the characters on the Home Impressions Victorian Plate I’ve fallen in love with!
And while [...]

My Time to Craft

This week, the girls at MT2C asked for Red, White & Black in our artwork and I chose to use a piece of black chenille as the base of my bookmark. I stitched the poppies image I’d previously stamped in fired brick onto tissue paper, onto the chenille (backed with light card) and used some [...]

Taggers Kit Challenge!

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to have my name drawn out of the hat as one of 4 bloggers to receive a kit from Sam and Anne at “Tag, You’re It…” and I received a pack of papers and embellies in the post. Inspired by a lovely tag pocket card I [...]

Crow-ing a Party!

Yep, the Diva Impressions Crows are th(c)rowing a Party… and everyone’s invited! Seriously, the Weekend Taggers want an unusually-shaped tag and Saturday’s Workout is to use a sponge technique, so I combined them and made this chipboard tag bookmark and an ATC for Halloween.

These crows look so shabby, it’s as if they’ve been sprayed with [...]

Tag, you’re it!

The weekend taggers are at it again with a colour challenge. Great because I love red, brown and cream, so here’s my tag:

I used a Cuttlebug embossed piece of cream cs that my friend Jan sent me for the base. I swiped Fired Brick distress ink across the raised flowers, not all of them, and [...]

Quote tag!

The girls at Weekend Taggers told me there’d be a quote tag challenge coming up, so here’s mine for this week! It brings back wonderful memories of my Mother – it was her favourite thing to say when I was down… “Laugh and the World laughs with you, Cry and you cry alone…” I’ve used [...]
