A Tag and some more Christmas in July


This week's Dilly Beans Challenge is Tags. I don't make a lot of tags so this was fun to make!


I used part of the top of the box my computer came in, and I distressed it by peeling off some layers, painting it, and sponging on some ink. I used some other distressed items like a piece of left overChristmas Mesh and a scrap of binding wire from an old watercolor paper pad.

I added a barefoot Girlz image from Bugaboo, a digi button card from Can You Digi It?, some buttons, pearls, and fibers.

I am planning on tying this to a bottle of wine or some bubble bath liquid and giving it to a friend who is having a very tough time right now.






The latest Can You Digi It? challenge really sparked my creativity. I posted a New Year's card this morning and tonight I wanted to share a 4th of July Card. I made both cards with the AnnieJ Designs Framed Mountain image (available at Can You Digi It?). I changed the color of the image to purple, added a sentiment, cut it out with a Spellbinders Oval, surrounded it with purples and added some flowers (made with the MS Hydrengia Punch and leaf punch).


















One last Christmas in July challenge card! I used the very wonderful Fresh Brewed Designs Sketch and created a card using the LilyPink Designs Cloud with is also available at Can You Digi It? I made a Christms card out of it by using a pretty Poinsetta off a Christmas Pick I bought last year. I love the sketch and wish I had time to make another card using it but the Fresh Brewed Designs Sketch challenge ends in like one hour!


Hugz to all!!!

    Wow! Lots of fun projects here Nancy. I like the corrugated cardboard on the tag and I'm really glad you used that mountain scene digi. I'm planning on using it myself and now I have a good idea of what it looks like. Thanks for all the lovely comments you've been leaving me. :-) Hugs!

    Look at you, crafting up a storm! Love that corrugated cardboard tag. Way to recycle, and I love the sentiment, too.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Bear-ied In Paperwork

 Back again, with a card for this week's House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge ( HMFMC#424 ).  This week the challenge is Anything goes with the option of scraps of paper. I took the option literally and added scraps of paper on my kitchen counter.  I needed a thank you card for someone who has been helping us organize A LOT of papers.   I stamped the image (House Mouse Gruffies Bear-ied in Paperwork -2007) using CTMH Black, then coloring the image with Daniel Smith Watercolors.  I drew in an extra paper or two so that I could make one of them a Thank You paper - it is the top right and shaded pink.  Thanks for visiting, Nancy
