Christmas Tags

Two more Christmas tags - the plan was to make one for every present! May not make that deadline! Oh well - could always try again next year. Happy Christmas to anyone reading this and thank you for your lovely comments over the past year.

More sewing

More sewing to show today - a completed quilted bag and another one on the way!

Sewing

I have been doing a little sewing lately and have half completed a patchwork quilt

Now I need to add the borders and quilt it - watch this space.

Remains of the Day

I have made another ROD journal - these are so addictive - check out Mary Ann Moss's online course here or on my sidebar.

Back blogging ... for now!

I've been away for a while! Now have a few things to share.

Here are a couple of Christmas tags

The first one is not original - I am a big fan of Jo Firth-Young's art and this is an (almost) direct copy of a recent tag on her blog - I love the layered look and it is a great way of getting a small(ish) image onto a big tag.

These tags fit the themes for the SCD challenge which is 'Trees' and the Simon Says challenge which is 'Tags' so I am entering them in both..

Tag 7

Rolling Recipe Tag 7 for UKStampers which needed the colour black, a bird and metal (the bottom embellishment is Ten Second Studio metal stamped and patterned with one of their tools).

Tags

Two more tags for UKStampers rolling recipe weekly challenge (I am way behind - they are now on 36 - I am only at week 6! but enjoying the 'recipes').
This recipe is text, the colour red and a stamped heart:

And this one is A stamped heart, the colour black and a bird:

The hearts have glossy accents on them and are 'dimensional', the bird is also raised a little from the surface and has glossy accents on his back tail and head - looks good in real life but doesn't show up in my photo.

Stamps used are Stampotique (from The Stamp Attic), Oxford Impressions (from LB Crafts) and Paperartsy - they can all be found in the sidebar..

PS I am also entering these for The Wednesday Stamper challenge this week which is 'hearts'.
