Tag Tuesday Challenge - Shamrocks!

This weeks Tag Challenge subject is Shamrocks.  I used a stamp from Oxford Impressions. I cut him out and colored him. The music sheet is a stamp by Stampington.  I did not have a shamrock stamp, so thank you Louise, for the heart trick!  I scrunched up white crepe paper, that I had cut in half length wise, and glued it under the phrase, also from O. Impressions.  The border behind the boy is from Lost Coast Designs.

Monday ATC Challenge - Let's Dance

The ATC Challenge theme this week is Let's Dance.  I used part of a stamp from Queen Dresser Drawers that I cut out and colored. I used a heart and flower punch, lace, music score paper and brads for embellishments.

Theme Thursday Challenge - Girls!

What a great subject - I was excited to start. I used the Paperbag Studios stamp of the 2 girls. I always felt that they were sisters. I am not a lavender fan, but I used Milled Lavender Distress Ink as one of the background inks, and it just went from there. My first time using staples - it has taken me a while to get used to the "look", but I like it.

Theme Thursday Challenge - Flowers!

I just bought these new flowers today, so they fit right in with the Theme Thursday Challenge. I also loved the color combinations.  I used 3 different inks on the background and stamped the flourish and flowers.  The stamp is from Lost Coast Designs., it is called Flying Ballerina. It is stamped on glossy paper and colored with ink.

Tag Tuesday Challenge - Monogram

I decided to create a tribute to my Mom, Priscilla. She loved everything creative and beautiful.  She loved gardening, arranging flowers, making dolls and beading. She was accomplished in many arts and loved nature. After she passed away, I got this stamp from her stash. It always reminds me of her. I really loved how the colors came out in this tag - soft and dreamy

Monday ATC Challenge - Eternity

This weeks challenge was to interpret Eternity in your ATC. It is a great concept to ponder and I found it brought up more questions than answers. That is why I decided to use the woman "pondering" as a focal point. It is a beautiful stamp that also includes a butterfly beneath her hands. It is made by Lost Coast Designs.  I also included the sky and stars and the ocean.

Thursday Challenge - Pink and Black

I decided to make a valentine using the pink and black theme.The square stamp is from Paperbag Studios - I embossed it in black.

Tag Tuesday Challenge - A Bit of Red

The Tag Tuesday Challenge called for a bit of red in the tag.The only red in this tag is the bead inside the flower - maybe a bit too subtle!!The girl stamp in from Paperbag Studios and the bird is from Oxford Impressions.  I dribbled a bit of gold paint on the crepe paper. The background is a sheet of music inked with blue and green. Krylon gold around the tag.

Think Monday, Think ATC - Circus Challenge

This weeks ATC Challenge  subject is Circus.  I used 2 stamps that I love from Lost Coast Designs - the giraffe and the crow. The background is composed of several colors of glimmer mist. The stars are from an Oxford Impressions collection and the harlequin stamp is from A Muse Artstamps.
