Tag Tuesday Challenge -- Calendar

I really enjoyed seeing all the banner tags.  I thought that was a fun challenge.

This week's challenge is to include a calendar of some sort on your tag or something that indicates year, month or date. 

I've used a stamp that has a calendar for 1900 (Stamp by Limited Edition.)  My image is from Paper Whimsy.

Have fun creating tags!

Tag Tuesday Challenge -- Banners

Everywhere you look you see banners these days.  When I included one on my school days tag last week I knew we'd be having this as a theme very soon.   

My little banner shapes are stickers from Jenny Bowlin.  But on last week's tag I just cut out some diamond shapes from patterned paper and made my own little banner.  However you'd like to do it is fine, but the challenge this week is to create a banner and add it to your tag.   I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Birthday Card

I made this card for my baby sister's birthday next week.  If you look closely at the 2nd picture, you'll be able to see how old she's going to be.   It's all pink and fou-fouish which is a lot more the look I like than she does ... but, hey, I think she'll still like it!.

Tag Tuesday Challenge -- School Days

 We had so many beautiful entries to our butterflies challenge!  I was so glad to see a lot of new taggers join in as well.

  I'm happy  to be able to post a new challenge today and I hope you'll be ready to jump in and join us.

When I think of September I always think of going back to school.  So that's our theme this week -- to create a tag with a "school" theme.

Printers Tray meets Halloween in Wonderland

I really enjoyed filling this 7 Gypsies Printers Tray with Graphic 45's Halloween in Wonderland paper and other fun bits.

Tag Swap

I was so happy when Sarah invited me to join her tag swap using this mannequin template, because when we used it as a challenge theme for Tag Tuesday she was guest hostess and I didn't have a chance to participate.

We had some wonderful tags made by Robin, Lynn, Evelyn, Me, Pam and Sarah.

I even had a shadow box I could use to display these on the wall -- they look wonderful!

Speaking of Butterflies......

I recently had these cards published in the Fall Take Ten -- featuring butterflies!

Tag Tuesday Challenge -- Part Two

As many of you guessed, there was more to my tag on Tuesday.  I actually had made a little tag book.  I decided to do this as I began to see how much butterfly related stuff I had.  The book just grew from there.

To create the tag booklet, I just scored my tags at 1/2 inch on the end without the hole.  I then punched four holes into each end.  (I used my new Cinch to do this, but I think you could easily do it with a regular hole punch.)   I added the fibers to hold all the pages together and -- voila!  My little tag book was finished.
