Aurora Wings Tag

We are having another great challenge

over at Just Inspirational Challenges.

 

We have a couple of great sponsors for this challenge

 

 

 

AND

 

 

For this week's challenge I used a pretty flowery stamp from Aurora Wings.

 

I needed a tag for a birthday gift, and I really wanted to keep it simple.

So this is what I created.

 

 

I used some pretty orange glittery paper.

And I used colored pencils instead of my Copics for this project.

 

I hope that you will stop by Just Inspirational Challenges this week.



Country Girl Faith

I am REALLY excited about the new release

Isn't she fabulous???

Since this America's Birthday this month, I was inspired
to use our patriotic colors!

I used fabulous paper from Carta Bella Giddy Up 6x6 paper pad.

How much more perfect could it get?

I added some of my favorite lace, and pretty flower and some blue crystals.

Gotta have my bling!

 

All topped off with some great fibers.

Patriotic Jude Tag #2

Happy Fourth of July!!

It's America's birthday, and my mom and I decided to both do

a tag to show our patriotism.

We decided we would use the Simply Betty Patriotic Jude stamp.

 

This is the tag that I made.

 

 

I used some the patriotic paper we had in our stash.

I also added a piece of blue jean, some star brads,

and a red, white, & blue riboon.

 

I also used a gold glitter pen to add a little sparkle in the sparklers.

I had a great time spending a little time crafting with my mom.

Patriotic Jude Tag #1

I would like to share a tag that I made today in honor of America's Birthday.

I used a wonderful Simply Betty stamp Patriotic Jude.

 

 

I used some flag paper from my stash, and some DCWV glitter card.

I cut the cards into star shapes.

 

The bottom triangles were the extra pieces from cutting around the stars.

I don't like to waste anything!!

 

I topped it all off with some great fibers.

 

My daughter and I both created a tag together.

That's what I call a great weekend!!

We have some incredible sponsors for this challenge.

 

 

AND

 

http://simplybstamps.net/category_267/Limited-Release-Digis.htm

 

Oh my goodness!

I got to use this fabulous stamp from Simply Betty Stamps.

It is just terrific!!!

 

Since my daughter LOVES baking and cooking so much,

I made her a bookmark for one of her cookbooks.

 

 

Isn't this just the perfect stamp??

 

I use some cute paper from My Mind's Eye.

I added a black die cut with white writing for a chalkboard look.

I also added a cute little "recipe" at the bottom.

 

And since I don't sew (actually I really can't sew... not at all!), I went

with the faux stitching.  I just took my brown pen and went around the edges.

Love the way it looks on here!

 

I finished it all off with some pretty lace at the bottom,

and some fabulous fibers for the top.

 

If you haven't seen the Simply Bettys stamps or Whoopsidaisy Digis,

SAVE THE FLOWER POT PRETTIES (Contest)
(story copyright Heather Valentin/Lacy Sunshine)

In the wee hours of a stormy night, a creature unlike any seen before was lurking in from the shadows of artist Heather Valentin's studio green house. It was an evil Buggmee! A Sherry Stinkbug Buggmee! Big bouffont hair, kooky eyes, and a giant snaggle tooth! We cant' help but see those huge ears, which are perfect to catch every lil sound in the atmosphere!

What's the worst thing about Sherry "Stinky" Buggmees? They lurk in the shadows and fester, leaving a bad "Stinky" trail that wilts everything in its path.

Even though it's "Stinky" and has that kind of " ugly duckling look"... It's still a charmer and with one look can cast a spell upon everyone and everything making this Buggmee irresistible.

Why oh why could this Sherry Stinky Buggmee be in Heather's greenhouse??? It wants to wilt her magical Flower Pot Pretties, draining them of their adorable charms and beauty, turning them into Stinky evil minions.

So we must help save Heather's Flower Pot Pretties NOW and PROTECT them from the evil Stinky Buggmee.

 

 

What a fun challenge!

 

For my first challenge entry, I would like to  enter this tag

that I made using the Dandy Lion Flower Pot Pretty.

I used some adorably paper from the Loolah collection
 by Creative Imaginations.
Isn't it adorable?!

I also added some fabulous old lace that I had a snippet of.
My flower is a recycled flower from a flower arrangement a
friend of mine had taken apart. I just added a crystal brad.

And some fabulous ribbons and fibers to top it all off.
So much fun!
This will make a great tag for a birthday gift.

Lady Liberty

In honor of America's Fourth of July,

I decided to make something patriotic.

I LOVE my country and wanted to show my pride a little bit.

 

I found this great Lacy Sunshine stamp using Eleanor as Lady Liberty,

and I just couldn't wait to use her.

She has become one of my favorites!

 

Ok, this isn't the best picture, but it was the best way to show it off.

 I used some "Flag" paper that I found in my stash.

 

 

 This is a little bit better picture.

I used a fabulous charm I found on DCWV Deals.

And of course I needed some more bling, because I do love bling.

So...I added some pretty crystals for my fireworks.

And who doesn't love going outside and watching fireworks?!!!



 

 

I added some of my favorite lace, red glittery ribbon, and

a piece of bluejeans that I cut off of my daughter's old pair.

 

For the final touch, I added some terrific fibers.

 

I really loved making this tag!
