Tag You're It: Reminder

Hi friends! I just love making tags, don't you?

I have a reminder tag for the current Tag You're It Challenge.

I started with the PPP Decorative Tag 2, and backed it with the Stamp Market's

Floral Background. No sentiment yet. Definitely going on a feminine gift for

someone special. 

When the doors are open you see more of the floral bg. The tag is decorated with PTI's

Humming Along.

Are you playing along? 

Hope to see your creations in the lineup! 

And hope you have an extra crafty week!

Tag You're It: Color Challenge

We're back! 

Tag You're It Challenge is back with this color challenge:

Looking at these colors, I was inspired to create a tag using Concord & 9th's 

 Marbled Turnabout Stamp Set.

I picked all PTI inks, Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Fine Linen and Aqua Mist.

My tag is Poppy's Pinpoint Main Street Tags & Pinpoint Dome Tag Decorations.

The script, 'howdy' and the cactus are also Concord & 9th: To The Point.

Join in the fun, won't you? Using the inspiration photo,

create a tag. It's as easy as that! And the challenge runs

for 2 weeks.

Hope to see you there!

Christmas Tags

During PTI's last month's release, I purchased Betsy's Poinsettia & Pine tag making kit

and decided to make a bunch for a dear friend celebrating a birthday. 

What started out as half a dozen, seemed to grow as I played with colored cardstock 

and stash of Christmas sets.

I hadn't seen for awhile.

When done, I piled them inside the sweet little sleigh, complete with mini

wreath on it's front, boxed, wrapped and my gift was ready to give.

Hope my post gives you lots of inspiration. The sweet mini kit

 comes with decorator paper and dies for easy creating. I just enjoy

stamping, so these are all stamped with PTI holiday stamps.

Here's a look at the tags

I can't wait to do more. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon... crafting!

Day 3 25 Days of Christmas Tags

It's day 3 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags, and the inspiration  just keeps

coming. Today Concord and 9th are the sponsors, and I decided

to use Tenia's tag as my muse.

Here's Tenia's tag:

I love the gold rings, non traditional pink and green, shape of the tag,

well, honestly loved the whole thing!

So here's mine:

Didn't stray far from the tree rings (sorry...) with my tag.

Used the same C9 Tree Ring stamp on PTI's Quilted tag. Even added a bit of 

washi in the bottom right hand corner. Did add the tree and sentiment from 

C9's Christmas Cottage.

Day 1 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi and welcome to Day 1 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

I know... I posted Day 2 first. This tag, inspired by

Simon Says Stamps' Shari Carroll's GORGEOUS tag

took a bit longer  (drying time).

 Take a look at Shari's tag,

Layers of loveliness everywhere!!! And you know I love layers.

And here's my tag,

Shari has a video showing in detail how she made her tag, lots of mixed media,

layers of paper, and my favorite, topped with starry acetate.

I had no acetate with print, so I made my own with heat resistant acetate, and

snowflakes from PTI's Silver White Winters.

You can see the silver embossing in this photo. 

The strip under PTI's Wet Paint Holiday die is something from my stash 

from Martha Stewart.

Are you playing along on Tracey's blog? Lots of sponsors with LOTS

of prizes!

Poppystamps Challenge Reminder

Hi there, Poppy Peeps! This is a reminder that there's a challenge going on

at Poppystamps. 

Fall and Scary Things!

Check it out and play for a chance to win a 25. gift certificate to the store!

I made some treat bags for inspiration. You know Halloween is right 

around the corner!

I loved Halloween Costume Cats ever since their release last year. So darn cute! 

Paired them up with a die from this year, Leafy Wreath Collage.

Each of my tags got a different colored tag behind the cutout (and to write on), and a 

clothespin covered in washi.

Check out the Poppystamps blog to see exactly how I made them.

And remember, we have a Blog Blitz going on. Comment for a chance to win!

A Sad Goodby

Hello everyone! 

I have some sad news to share.

We at Tag You're It are saying goodby to the challenge.

Tag You're It was the brainchild of Tracey McNeely, from In My Creative Opinion

and it was truly a joy for me to be on the team.

Our goodby post today features one of our own favorite tags.

My husband and I raise chickens for their eggs, and my home is full of farm images,

especially chickens, roosters, and even an egg sign!

        

 Just had to choose a favorite from Karen Lockhart, a rubber stamp mounted on a block. This stamp has seen a lot of ink over the years!

I will miss the regular posting and inspiration from some of the most talented

designers in blogland. It was a joy and privilege to have Tracey ask me to be

among them.

Thank you Tracey, and to all who also enjoyed Tag You're It, 

it's never goodby, but 'see you around'!

Dashing through the Snow

It's the day after Thanksgiving, better known as 'Black Friday' to savvy shoppers,

and we're bringing you a new challenge at Tag You're It. 

It's a great excuse to stay home today, away from the crowds and create a tag.

Our featured artist for this challenge, is Jessica Frost-Ballas, and she's given us this

frosty pink yummy to case.

And here's some more inspiration from me:

Loved the pink, loved the snowflakes, and cased her deer with a stag head at the tag's top.

Created a shaker with a iridescent sequin mix from Poppystamps.

the window is also from Poppystamps: Evangeling Floating Square.

Platinum embossed wood snowflakes scattered on top.

Sentiment is an old Memory Box die called Curved Dashing.

There's plenty of inspiration on the Tag You're It blog from our designers. Come by and take a look.

You have 2 weeks to play along. We love to see what you do.

Thank you Jessica, for a beautiful tag to inspire us!
