Tag time and a surprise I received....


 

Good morning lovely people, big smiles please, life's to short and even though the weather is having a hissy fit this weekend we just have to smile we are all still here, haha.

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

Recently I saw a blogging friend use these tag dies, I just loved them but couldn't find them, so what did my wonderful friend do, cut me some and when I say some, a whole bunch of them, along with other things and some stencils, I was so surprised, honestly it made my day it really, all this while she has been suffering herself, thats blogland as it always was don't you think.....Chris, biggest thankyou ever, I won't forget this in a hurry..



Right then, so having the tags I had to make something for the new challenge over at Tag-along and ATC, the theme is autumn, join in HERE 


I lightly inked up both the tag and the die cut leaf, I did cut lots but then just used the bigger one for some reason, I splashed some gold and white (couldn't find my red ink ) then got Tim out of the drawer and added a sentiment I thought would suit. It says 'what seems ordinary is often the extraodinary, enjoy today. So there we have it, don't you just love those tags, I am going to have fun with them I can tell you.  The only thing is I think it needs more colour, but watch this space I shall be sorting another one out, I do love the autumn colours.

Speaking of Tag along, I got a top 3 pick with this tag 

Rather pleased with my little chubby self about that, haha.
OK thats about it for today, I will try and get back asap, in the mean time, batten down the hatches, we are in for it over the weekend, take care all and stay safe.

I KNEW you would make something gorgeous with these tags Janette- and I was right! I absolutely love the rustic autumn-y look of this one, so glad you're pleased with them.
Hope you're ok after the appointment, stay indoors and keep warm and dry this weekend- oh and congrats on your top pick at Tag-Along- your butterfly tag is a stunner!

Gorgeous Autumnal tag with the cut ours Chris sent, the A&C sets offer such a different approach don't they. So pleased you shared this beauty with us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) new challenge.

Same weather here, not let up all day.

What a heartwarming post—your joy and gratitude shine through so beautifully. The tag is absolutely charming with its soft inking and splash of gold, and that sentiment feels like a gentle nudge to savor the everyday. Chris’s kindness is such a lovely reminder of the generosity in this community, and it’s wonderful to see how you’ve turned that gift into something so meaningful. Congratulations on your Top 3 pick too—well deserved and so uplifting to read.
