My Tag Tuesday Challenge - Things with Wings

Welcome to our 5th challenge at Tag Tuesday! I chose the theme "Things with Wings". Since we just made bird tags, let's say no birds this time. Lots of other things have wings, such as angels, insects, dragons, airplanes, Pegasus, fairies, flying monkeys (think Wizard of Oz!). You can even add wings to people, animals, hearts, or whatever you'd like!

Here are three tags I made. The first is done with Tim Holtz dies (globe & word) and an airplane sticker (Jolee's).

The second tag has a stenciled background with flowers & a German scrap sun. I added paper butterfly wings to a cabinet card girl and a Tim Holtz sticker with the words "with brave wings she flies".

The third tag has an inked, stamped and stenciled background. The dragonflies are cut from Stampin' Up dies.

I am offering a prize that includes 3 packages of assorted tags. Create a tag and link it up on the Tag Tuesday blog to be eligible for the prize drawing.

You have two weeks to join us in the "Things with Wings" challenge and have your name entered into the drawing. We are looking forward to your tags!

Birds & Nests

The newest theme at Tag Tuesday is "Birds & Nests". I do love to watch the birds at the feeders in our backyard. We get a large variety and I keep a birding journal to record what I see. Lots of woodpeckers come to the suet feeder, including two large pileated woodpeckers. Of course, the squirrels, bunnies and chipmunks browse among the dropped birdseed looking for a snack. It's loads of fun to see them all!

I made a few tags for this challenge. I hope that you will make a tag and join us at Tag Tuesday!

For my first tag, I used a sprayed tag and then added a doily, Gecko Galz bird which I fussy cut and some pink SU twine. I also used the word stickers "Fine feathers make fine birds". I die cut a pink tag reinforcement from the Tim Holtz tag die set.

For my second tag, I used a kraft tag as the base and covered it with Tim Holtz vellum. The die cut is from Tim Holtz, the yellow finch is from K&Company and I painted the egg. (I buy flat backed wooden eggs from the craft store, paint them blue and then speckle on brown paint.)

And now my third and final tag - it is made from a tag I covered with patterned paper, Gecko Galz image, bird sticker and a GG nest that I chalked.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Spring!

Don't you love Spring? A season of new beginnings and time for one of my favorite holidays - Easter. I have a card to share with you today featuring the Easter Bunny. This wonderful image is from Gecko Galz.

To make the card, I used the bunny image from the Easter Wishes collage set and sized it in Photoshop. The red paper is "Shanghi" from the Great Adventure paper pack and the yellow crackle background paper is "Provance" from the Vanity Fair paper pack. I cut the red paper and image with my new Spellbinders label dies. Then I added flowers, a kraft bow and Tim Holtz word stickers.

I would also like to share a card I made for the Customer Challenge at Gecko Galz. The theme is Fairy Garden and you still have time to join in. (You can get all the details here). My card features an image from the Pretty Birds collage sheet. The background paper is "Hydrangea Dreams" from the Floral Symphony paper pack. The music paper is from the Love Potion #9 set.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hats - another tag

Hi! I made a second hat tag for the challenge at Tag Tuesday and want to share it with you. This one features my cute great-nephew, Liam, when he was a baby. (He's in elementary school now!)

I used a frog tag from Basic Grey (oh how I miss that company!) and a party hat sticker from Jolee's. I also added other items from my stash.

You still have time to link up a hat tag at Tag Tuesday. Please join us and have a great week!

New Challenges

It's time for new challenges at Tag Tuesday and Make My Monday. We hope you will join us and link up your projects!

Here is my tag for Tag Tuesday, where the theme is "Hats and Headgear". I used a tag that was sprayed and stenciled. I then added a small doily, a Gecko Galz image that I fussy cut and words.

If you link up a tag at TT your name will be put into a drawing for a beautiful collage sheet, courtesy of Lunagirl.

For Make My Monday, the challenge is to use at least three colors of the rainbow. I used red, blue and yellow to make a card with beachy elements. The shell is stamped and then fussy cut. The scalloped circle is die cut and then stamped with coral.

Have a great week!

Tag Tuesday & Make My Monday - new challenges

Hi, today I'd like to share a tag I made for Tag Tuesday. The theme for the next 2 weeks is "Spring Flowers". I covered a tag with paper from Moxxie. Then I stamped flowers (Stampin' Up) onto purple and light blue cardstock. I used the matching punch to cut out the flowers and pop dotted them to the tag. Next, I added some greenery, using a Tim Holtz die. Finally I tied some blue ribbon at the top.

It's a great theme and we hope you will make a tag and link it up at Tag Tuesday.

Next up is a card for Make My Monday. The theme is "Birds" and was chosen by me! We'd love to have you link up a project featuring birds, eggs, nests and/or feathers.

My card features a bird stamp by Stampin' Up. I used the SU markers to color directly onto the stamp. I stamped the image onto white cardstock and then cut it out with a scalloped oval die. I added a slightly larger red oval and the word hello (Sizzix) cut in blue.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Love tag

Hi and oops! I forgot to put the tag I made for Gecko Galz in my post yesterday. Anyway here it is.

The background paper on the tag is from the "Oh Cupid" mini paper pack. The blue doily is cut from the Tropical Flower paper (la isla bonita paper pack). The pink heart is cut from the Love Potion #9 paper pack. The couple is from Retro love story collage sheet. I added a wooden embellishment to the tag.

Have a great day!
