wishing you well tag

Hello, welcome back to another Tag You're It Challenge, this time we're using fall leaves as our inspirational source.  I can't wait to see how you're inspired.

happiness is handmade

Hello, welcome to another Tag You're It Challenge, I love finding inspiration to play with my not-so-small tag die collection.  The new challenge could play on buttons, the colors, the patterns?  Look forward to seeing your crafty inspirations.  For my tag I used an Altenew sentiment, PTI tag die and some May Arts ribbon.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes and BBQ season

Happy Sunday!  My first card is for Inspired By Challenge, channeling my crafty pal Tenia for the inspiration on this card.  I've got a number of goodies in the card, coffee cups by Jane's Doodles, sentiment by Clear & Simple Stamps, dies by MFT, leaves by Lawn Fawn, woodgrain stamp by Concord & 9th.  My second project is to remind you that there's still a little more time to play along with Tag You're It Challenge.  There is a little irony in my world b/c Sundays are generally the most difficult work day and there are no Sunday BBQs in my agenda, but a girl can dream, right?

thank you flamingos

Welcome to another new challenge over at Tag You're It Challenge.  What I love about these fun inspirational challenges is that I make things that I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do with.... so glad to have something outside of the realm of useful!  Can't wait to see what you create.

you are wonderful

Hello... welcome to another inspirational challenge from Tag You're It Challenge, Christmas in July!  I'd love to see how you use the inspirational photo for your creative challenge.

hello

Hello!  I couldn't resist the colorful citrus temptation on the latest Tag You're It Challenge-- plus I love tags and I should find more opportunities to play with my not so small collection of dies.  And while this isn't my most CAS tag, I think it still works for the current challenge over at CASology.

cupcake tag

Welcome to another Tag You're It Challenge, this month it's an interactive tag (not my speciality, but that's the point of challenges, right?).  So I made a shaker tag....  Hope to see how you get outside of your "norm" and play along.

Love tag

Welcome to another challenge at Tag You're It Challenge.  We're celebrating spring flowers (even if it's hailing and raining in my world).  I would love to see how spring fever inspires you, please make a tag and link up.

Happy Mail Just for you

Hello, welcome back to another round of fun inspiration for Tag You're It Challenge.  I took this colorful leaf and created an elephant card for my brother's girlfriend.  Why have I been neglecting my alcohol inks?  Silly ol me.  The elephant die is from Hero Arts, sentiment from Papertrey Ink, the background stamp from Unity Stamps, die from Reverse Confetti and some burlap string from May Arts.

be bold...

Hello!  Welcome back to another fun filled Tag You're It Challenge and this one is special because the inspirational photo is one of my pictures from my travels to Paris!  Who can resist coffee?  (It helps that I actually drank the coffee in this photo).  We would love to see how the photo inspires your tag-centric crafty fun.  My tag combines Honey Bee Stamps and dies with a Papertrey Ink tag and May Arts ribbon.

All my smiles...

Hello!  There's a new challenge up on Tag You're It Challenge and we'd love to see how you're inspired to play along.  Check out the DT page to see some more inspiration and join the fun.

Made with Love Tag You're It!

I'm super excited to say after a year off, Tracey has decided to re-boot the Tag You're It Challenge blog and I'm honored to be back for more fun.  My (not so small) tag stash will be happy to get some more love.  So to kick off the new challenge the theme is "love is in the air" and I've got a fun tag using the Reverse Confetti tag dies, Lil Inker hearts, a Hero Arts sentiment, a MFT circle die and some May Arts silk ribbon.  So, please join us!  The challenge is going to be bi-monthly.

thinking of you tag

Today, over on Tag You're It Challenge, we're showcasing a few of our favorite tags from the challenge.  Many, many thanks to Tracey for inviting me to be a part of her tag fun.  I played along with the challenge longer then I was on the design team, but I'm confident that I will continue to play with my robust collection of tag dies.

Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I'm so excited....  welcome to the Coffee Lovers Winter Bloghop!  Who's ready for a week of fun filled coffee crafty fun?  I am!  I keep saying, "I don't need to beat the last hop number" and watch... I'll be sneaking in my craft room at all hours this week.  So, with that in mind, let's get this party started.

Ellen Hutson 12 Days of Christmas Tag Day #4 watercolor challenge, sometimes just a bit of watercolor on the background is the right touch.

This coffee & friends tag is for the Altenew Blog Challenge, I went for September colors.

My final project is for the new Tag You're It Challenge and sadly... the final challenge for this amazing blog.  Many, many thanks to Tracey for all your hard work over the years, as a tag-fanatic it's been an honor to be on the design team, we give a blogland hug and high five for all the inspiration and fun.  If you'd like to play along with Leigh's fabulous tag, we'd love to see how it inspires you.

hello baby tag

A friendly reminder there's still time to play along with Tag You're It Challenge.

Always remember....

Happy Friday crafty friends.  This week has been so stressful in California, and while my house and and family are fine, the effects of the wildfires reaches far and wide to so many people.  I had three employees evacuated from their homes this week, friends who had their loved ones lose everything in the Santa Rosa fires, friends who have been sheltering animals, air quality issues.  So this tag, inspired by the new Tag You're It Challenge, is to remind all of us that hopefully these traumatic experiences will make us stronger...  We can only hope, right?   And since I've mentioned that I make cards to channel what I'm thinking about, the card below is another card for the current Where Creativity Meets C9 and CAS(E) this Sketch for my friend who had breast cancer surgery yesterday.

And one final card, because camping/glamping consumes a lot of my life at the moment.  I used the MFT Sketch Challenge.
