Tagalicious

Yep, loving that word Tagalicious.........my new word for a pretty tag.  Before I forget, thank you to all my new followers and welcome.

The background is from one of my Gelli plate leftovers.  Stamps by Artistic Outpost and Stampotique.  The Dress is paper pieced with a little sparkle, not sure why I gave her green socks but kinda like them.  The Leaves have been dipped in various colours of wet Distress Inks and to finish off, flowers from my stash.  Oooh nearly forgot the white Heart is a Brad.

Am thrilled to be entering it into 3 challenges, why you ask........because can only usually find one at a time or none at all...........

Artistic Outpost - Referral Programme  - Anything Goes
Rogue Redheads - Paper Piecing
Fashionable Stamping - Hearts and Flowers

The following is a snippet from my Painting Blog in case you didn't see it, as you can see am still practicing faces ready for the start of 29 Faces which starts 1st February.

Thank you for dropping in on this busy Monday morning.  Take care of yourself, hugs Annette x

Had a Great Day

Hi, am late in posting due to having a very exciting day, thank you facebookers for all the birthday greetings and all the beautiful cards from my blogging friends.  I haven't had a chance to play with my Gelli plate and won't until at least the weekend as tomorrow we are off to a vintage fair at Milton Keynes which am looking forward to.

The moral here is Be Kind to one another

Above is a large tag, using a napkin, stencil, silver paint and bits and pieces.  Stamps are by Lost Coast Design and Crafty Individuals.  Coloured with Distress Inks.

Am entering this into the Craft Room Challenge and Word Art Wednesday

I tried to make a Halloween decoration, but it didn't turn out very well, but am showing it anyway because am not starting again.............life is too short............lol

All that faffing about with twigs and everything else to produce this............lol

Have a great weekend and take care of yourselves.  Thank you for dropping in, Hugs Annette x

Rogue Redheads and Craft Room Challenges.......

Hi, its been a hectic few days, but managed to finish two projects for two challenges.  The first one is for Rogue Redheads who are asking for DieCut Divas!!

Apologise for the photos but it is really dark and wet here today.  The Rogue Redhead stamps I used are from the Carnival Dreams plate, not usually used for a Christmas card, but this one is for my dear hubby.
To be honest I don't usually make him one, so hope this will be a nice surprise........

The large tag below is for the Craft Room Challenge - Birds

Using various stamps including Sam Poole and Keepsake Craft, the bird stamp was a gift from Kevin McCrafty  a couple of years ago,  a terrific cardmaker.  I chose the words because I thought the bird was testing the water (so to speak) one foot in and one foot out.........which pretty much describes me.

My Gelli plate arrived but am not allowed to use it until 31 October (yep am a Halloween child), in the meantime have been watching a lot of video's on UTube, making copious notes in a book ready for the big day.

Have a great week and will catch up with you shortly to see what you have been up to.
Take care, hugs Annette x
