~~~ HaLLoWeeN TaGs~~~

Hi Y'all!!! I hope y'all are enjoying your weekend !! The weather is perfect here in Alabama. We have all the windows and doors open. I have been on a tag making kick and I had lots of fun creating these Halloween tags! Various carts were used, including, Tags Bags Boxes and More for the tags, Art Philosophy for the flowers, Create a Critter for the pumpkins,Wrap it Up for the witch,( a gift from Diane...thanks for the cart Diane !!!) and Happy Hauntings for the crow My friend Kelly printed off the darling vintage images and I was was lucky enough to get a page full of them !!!  Thanks Kelly!! I used Rock Candy on both of the vintage images, the moon and a pumpkin. Lots and lots of inking on these tags and I threw everything but the kitchen sink at them! Vintage gold tinsel, gold leaves from Hobby Lobby, lace, vintage seam binding and some beautiful Crinkle Ribbon that you can find here .  I added other ribbons and some great eyelash fibers given to me by Sandi...thanks Sandi!!! oh and she sent me some adorable mullberry flowers she made. I used one on them on one of the cat tags !  I stamped the witch and embossed her....woohoooo she turned out much better than I anticipated ! Added a feather or 2 and made some stick pins. I also used several embossing folders for the backgrounds. I hope you enjoy looking at these fun tags...I really had a blast making them!!!  Thanks to all my generous friends for helping me create these tags..I couldn't have done with without you!!!! I almost forgot, I included a picture of an easel I made so that the tags can sit up. Thanks for taking a peek!!!

~~~ Shabby Chic Tags ~~~

Good morning Y'all. I was a lil sick last week and didn't feel like creating, but I did watch alot of videos on Youtube and I was inspired to make these tags. I used Tags Bags Boxes and More for the 1st tag. You have to look hard to see that I stamped an image on the background of this Pink Paislee paper and embossed it with gold PearlEx. I added a butterfly from the Bloom cart and a little bling.The beautiful roses were a RAK from Tatiana, as well as the pretty brown ribbon...thanks T !! Diane inspired me to drag out my beads and I made the pin, using a vintage hat pin I found at an Estate sale. Thanks D for the inspiration!! The stamp is from Close To My Heart, I just cut it up and layered it. Lots of inking on both tags, added some feathers and curly Q's using Memory Thread. I wish I could take credit for the Birdhouse card, but I saw one similar to this one on Utube and I can't find it to give the talented lady credit. I used Stretch your Imagination for the birdhouse, Art Philosophy for the brown flowers in the corner and Sentimentals ( I think) for the bird. I also stamped on the background of this tag, used glimmer mist and Rub and Buff to give it an aged look. I made another pin and added this adorable charm I found at Hobby Lobby. Thanks for stoppin by and taking a peek!!

~~~ BOO ~~~

The last 6 months have been really fun and creative and it's sad that this will be my finale card , as part of that team. When Kimberly asked me to be on her DT, I was very reluctant, because y'all know I struggle with stamping!!! But thanks to Kimberly, I think that I have conquered my fear! lol Thanks again, Kimberly..you were a sweetheart to work with!! I wish I could have taken Kimberly up on the offer for another 6 months, but this time of year is just TOO hectic for me!!
