Tag you're it...

and this weeks theme is....

Brown and Aqua.......

I've had problems photographing this tag - not sure if its the glitz from the stickles or the glare from the glossy accents on the swirl...going to try and get DH or DD to photograph it with their better cameras to see if it makes a difference...

anyway, the background is blue jazz glimmer mist and on the other half basic grey paper this was then stamped with the paperartsy circles, bet you didn't know I had that stamp!! lol, the swirl is cut on the cricut, coloured with stream dauber and then glossy accents to hi light, the flowers are cut on the cricut too and the edges glitzed with turquoise stickles, the beads are a couple of my pins and a little charm finishes it off.

Pop on over to the TYI challenge blog and see the other tags, they're just gorgeous - we love visiting the blogs and seeing what our taggers have created...why not take a break from the Christmas crafting and join us we'd love to see what you come up with in Brown and Aqua.

TOOT TOOT!

OH MY! I recently entered the Craft Stamper Stamper of the Year comp - I have just received my sub copy and a couple of my pieces have been published, in the best of the rest bit (page 48!!).............oh boy how fantastic is that. I'm so CHUFFED!! to have a couple of pieces in that mag - WOW its BRILL!!

The winning pieces are totally fab and so are all the other published pieces...

Can you tell I'm pleased??????????? lolxx

Its Friday so it must be......

Time for Tag You're it.....

So, the theme this week has been set by moi! and I have chosen tags in the shape of a Triangle....its an open theme and colour scheme this week too so I can't wait to see what the taggers taking part will come up with.....its always great fun travelling around blogs, and to be honest alot of them are ones you'd never find, to see what people are getting up to....

So, here's my Triangle Tag for this week:-

The background is a piece of basic grey paper which has been stamped with several stamps (including my fav paperartsy circles!), some of which were embossed in gold. The girl image is by art journey, the tag is a hero arts stamp and the saying is so true:- "Cherish yesterday, Live for today, Dream of tomorrow" this was fixed to the triangle using a little safety pin which has small beads threaded onto it....a bit of bling and a strip of beaded ribbon and some fibres finish it off.....

Pop on over to Tag You're It and see the other tags, they're GREAT! we would all love to see your Triangle tags too.....

All the backgrounds are created using my fav ranger daubers and stamped over in white with various paperartsy stamps and text stamps....gems and bling finish them off...
