Tag today...

 


Well I am back from a day at the hospital, all the stuff that they have to do went pretty well, except they are now wanting to put me under for the biopsy and its very risky for me, but after lots and lots of form filling and health checks we think we have a way forward, fingers crossed. I have to say though, I can't praise the NHS staff enough, my goodness me, talk about priceless, we have to fight to keep it. Anyway, looks like my Op will be next week...sorry about all this but I had to tell someone other than my family where I am being very brave and matter of fact :))

************************

I made this the other day, just a little tag which can go into the Tag along and ATC challenge which I am abit obsessed with at the minute, please come along and support the girls there, its fun, easy to make and you can get a prize, win win..


Just cut some white card, roughed up the edges, inked it up, stamped it up and splashed it up !!Then added some squiggles round the edges and a film strip from TH and of course some word strips again, oh and I had a few tag tops already cut so used that at the top, don't you just love when you don't have to start looking for a die you want, well done me hahaha.


Thats it for now, as I type this I just got a call from the hospital to say they are trying to fit me in for my Op on Monday, oh my, haha...oh well will let you all know...

I am entering this into the challenge HERE at the Tag along and ATC challenge

Thanks so much for being here again, have a lovely sunny day.

Another ATC...


 

Told you I had made four so far, not as many as some I know, but the way things are for me that's a big number ...hahaha....

This is a cutie I think.

Made from Kraft card, small tear of paper and some stamps, a little tag fold and a number from a set I found in a box and of course some of Tims best sentiment strips, also inked round the edges with some ink, can't remember the colour as I made this when I fist heard of the new challenge heading our way...
Obviously entering this into the Tag along and ATC challenge 

Thats  all for now I think.
I may be missing for a day or two, although I am not sure yet. Tomorrow I have to go for my pre-op at the Victoria, fingers crossed this little op will be done within days, well I say Op; its one of those things where they take a piece to explore if it bad or worse !!!! will keep you all up to date though so you don't think I have deserted you all.
Thanks so very much for being here.

For someones birthday...didn't think I would be back so soon did you !!!!

 


Good morning, yes I am back second day in a row, its amazing.

I have been waiting to show this off, I had to make it and post last month to get to my lovely blog friend on time, she let me know it had arrived but waited to open for her big day, well thats it, today's the day, yay!!!

I did show the tags I made to go in this, she is a big tag fan :))


So here is the wallet card I put together to hold a few bits and bobs.


Isn't she just fabulous, I so love these papers, the birthday die is one I bought awhile back.


Inside, simply fold the card up and cut the centre, any do-crafts girls out there will remember these folds, we always exchanged images until we got into trouble for it, haha, how times have changed. I used some of the gorgeous papers from Temu  and the dies from them also, I added brown suede  cord to tie together.


This is the back, yes it got a good covering, as you probably seen I also used gold wax paste around the edges, I do love that stuff.

Thats it, I know she loves it because she told me late last night my time but early morning for her, she also shocked me with a wall in her craft room that she called Janette's wall, hahaha, it has things that I have sent her, I told her I need to be stopped, seriously I forget who I have sent things too, poor girl must be fed up, hahaha. 

Thankyou so much for being here and any comments you may leave.

I made an ATC, whoop whoop...hahaha


 

Excuse my sillyness, I haven't made one of these in forever, have made the coins, which were ready cut, but I had to ask Pinky the correct size, she has a new challenge blog starting next month all Tags and ATC's, so I am warming up.


Lots of inks used, script stamps some scribbling round the edge too, the heart I cut from a dp I have and inked the edges to give it some depth, obviously TH words got out to play, I love this and I enjoyed playing, I made another one at the same time but will show that another day I think.

Thats it, I hope you like, have a lovely day, I have lots of tests ahead of me with yet another health problem, onwards and upwards. Happy days.

Not a card...


 

Morning lovely people, I hope the sunshine is bringing joy to your life, nothing like it this time of year, heaven knows we deserve it don't we...

Right then, I had a play with one of my many round boards. I painted it black, then added some rope to the back and guess what, the staples came through, so...I hammered them as much as possible then got the stencil paste out, found this lovely stencil, all those leaves climbing about and it did the trick. I then added some gold paste to it, not bowled over by it, so added a mdf 'smile' to it, still was not right, last thing was another stencil in gold, after all that, I splashed, yes I did, I am still not really sure but its done.


Let me know what you really think, did I ruin it with the splashes I wonder.....

Thanks ladies, enjoy the rest of the day, sunshine and all.

New card.

 


Morning all, I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather, cold but so sunny and actually hot in the sun, weird but good. :))

Made this yesterday, I don't usually do Easter cards, but I was going through some stash and found this sweet little bunny edge die, so onwards and upwards as they say.


The DP and all dies were from Temu, just never used as yet. I did cut the bunnies out a few times and then added lift tape to them.


I actually love this little cutie, hope it makes you smile.

Thats me done again, enjoy your day everyone, my grand daughter Mia, has just messaged me to say all the power is off and was I ok, mines not off so I can expect visitors shortly, hahaha, happy days.
