Happy New Year! I’m popping in to share a Christmas tag that I made about a month ago and I have only got around to photographing it today! Better late than never. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas.

Another project that I have managed to complete over Christmas was to make some Scrabble tile ornaments. I originally saw the idea on Ardyth’s blog over a year ago which lead me to here. I am a huge Scrabble fan so this idea really appealed to me. During the year at a local market, I came across an old Scrabble set for $5 with the intention of making them. It wasn’t until last week, with the help of my handy-man Dad (who was staying with us for Christmas), they turned into a reality. I love how they turned out. I would have made more but I ran out of the tile holders.

I’ll definitely be on the lookout for another Scrabble set as I would love to make some more.

Merry Christmas! I hope that you had a fabulous Christmas time with your family and friends.

Today I am sharing a tag with you using some Penny Black products. It felt good to get all crafty again…I don’t think I have made anything in the last 3 weeks – but we are finally home and enjoying some down time after the busyness (and fun) of the last month!

This tag is made purely from die cuts. The tag and the hexagon shape are from the Tagged Creative die set (I think I ran it through my Cuttlebug around 40 times to get all those hexagons!). Not a quick tag to make, but I had a lot of fun and I love the clean and graphic look! After all, it is rainbow and that would make anybody happy! The sentiment is from the Hooray Creative die set, and I cut it out 3 times and stacked them on top of each other. To give it a shiny puffy look, I coated it in some Ranger white enamel accents. To finish it off I sprinkled on some metallic gems and added some white ribbon.

Penny Black products used:
– Tagged Creative die
– Hooray Creative die

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to all my blog readers for your love, support and encouragement over the past year. I have had a blast and hope you have too. I’m looking forward to what 2015 will bring.

Until next time,

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge.  This week’s inspiration tag is made by the lovely Tracey McNeely.

I kept my tag simple with white heat embossing on red card stock, but added extra detail with some sparkle. The ‘Merry’ sentiment was coloured with a dark red Copic marker and then some clear Wink of Stella brush glitter pen was added over the top. You can see a tiny bit of sparkle in the photo.

Hope you can find some time to play along. To link up your creations head to the Tag You’re It! Challenge blog.

Hello. This week I am the Muse at the Muse Card Club. Hope that you can find some time to play along.

I decided to try a technique that I have been meaning to use for ages…one that Laura Bassen and Therese Calvird use often and with awesome results.

 

Here are some of the guidelines if you are unfamiliar with how Muse works.

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
• Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions.
• Vote for 3 of your fellow member’s submissions that you find inspiring, once voting opens.

For the full challenge guidelines go here.

I’m looking forward to seeing your creations.

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge. We had an amazing 44 entries last challenge. You guys rock!

This week we have a very sweet card made by Lynn Put. I just love that gorgeous cluster of pretty flowers!

I fell in love with the softness of her colour scheme and I used her layout, just changed the placement of the sentiment. I switched up the flowers for a butterfly and some vellum leaves. The pink chevrons are embossing paste (coloured with some dye ink).
