Tag Tuesday Challenge

OK......this week's challenge was really a challenge for me. I had fun with the tag, but wimped out a bit on the hand drawn part!!  I wrote the two "moo's" and I drew in the white feathers on the rooster.Just as Louise said, I do not like my handwriting and must have written MOO a million times. Enough already.  What can I say??  I used my two new stamp sets from Oxford Impressions - Farm Boy and Country Girl. The center of the flower is a lady bug, a bit hard to see.

Tag Tuesday Challenge - 52nd Birthday

Louise's Challenge this week over at her blog, is to use the numbers 52 in your tag to commemerate the year celebration of the Challenge. This is truly my favorite Challenge and I appreciate all the hard work she puts into it. Thank you Louise!  Here is my Tag. The stamp is from Lost Coast Designs.

May Artistic Outpost Submission!

Just made this card with an Artistic Outpost stamp from the Home sheet. I love those stamps! I stamped the truck and the saying on a page from an old dictionary and glued it to one of my handpainted backgrounds.  I added a piece of ribbon on the right side of the card and looped a clear plastic ring through it and put one of those brass button-thingies in the middle. I added some black beads and mounted in on a background of fiber/grass paper.

Theme Thursday Challenge - Butterflies

I have not participated in a Thursday Challenge in a while. I love butterflies, so I thought it was a good one to get back into it.  I used my handpainted background and then stamped on muslin, colored and sewed it on.  I stamped Dream on mulberry paper and glued it on the card. I found these interesting brass type buttons that were in among my mothers assorted stash. I love them and decided to use it for the center of the flower.
The Dream stamp is from Acey Duecy, the Butterfly stamp is Paperbag Studios and the flower is Prima.

Tag Tuesday Challenge - Ticket!

Louise's  Tag Challenge this week was to use a ticket on the tag. I have a bunch of tickets left over from the Sundance Film Festival that I have saved. So I decided to use a piece of a Sundance  ticket and a great stamp from Magenta. The background is one of my hand painted deli papers and a few flowers. The top of the tag is metallic, so it was tricky to scan. I played with the colors a bit, but it still looks washed out. Oh well.  Enjoy!
