New Tags

So, I've been busy making tags and just got the opportunity to share them.  The new school year has been keeping us busy.  My son is in chess club and after school Jazz band, so we have a full schedule with that, plus church and youth group.

Anyway, here are the tags I've made the past few weeks.

I love this guy!  I've used this digital stamp on many things I've made.  He's so "misunderstood".  "One day, I'll fly away."

I experimented with a paste & stencil for the background on top of the regular background, added the wings and bottle cap and saying.  Not too bad, I guess.

Queen (of hearts)

Travel Log -- using the jalopy mask, silver spritz, 1/2 a car stamp, mileage stamp and part of a collage stamp for the road trip. 

I have Zebra, Compositions and Kites!

Sewing tag, Key to Heart, & "ruin"

OWLS!!!, Jesus, Dream Angel

Tea Time & Aloha

 

Each one a bit different.  I'm really trying to kick start my creativity again.  I don't know, I see things I like around the internet; but I'm not sure if I'm "doing it" well.  <shrug> BUT .... at least I'm not giving up again. :)



Alice in Wonderland

My baby sister, who will be 40 this month, is a huge Alice in Wonderland fan.  So, in honor of her birthday, I created a faux book for her, a recovered box and a bracelet all in the Alice theme.  I'm sure she'll love them.  I only wish that I could be with her this year to celebrate the occasion. :(

Anyway, here they are:

I used stamps from the Octopode factory for most of the characters, except Mad Hatter, who was just a graphic I found on the net. :)

 

 

The bracelet is in traditional blue and white beads of Alice's dress along with a teapot, cake, crown and heart beads.  I'm sure she'll love this!!!!  I sure love the way it turned out.  

 

Flip Flop Album

I made this beautiful Flip Flop album using Stampin' Up papers and some other stuff I had around.  It is so simple and a real beauty.  I love it!

 

 

 

As you can see, I've added photos, embellishments and journaling.  I then gave it to my mom for her Mother's Day.  She loved it.  I included pictures of my son; but also a few of my niece and nephews as well, so she has a great collection of our Christmas together and a few snaps as well.

 

Okay, so I have NO IDEA how to turn the photos (they're right sided on my computer) and after struggling to figure it out for a while, I GIVE UP!  Anyway, you can click the photos and see an enlarged view.  Enjoy!!
