TEDDY BEARS...DT

 Hello everyone,

Time for a new challenge over at LITTLE RED WAGON  and I'm your hostess this week with my theme being..TEDDY BEARS - teddy bears doing anything and you can also make anything you want out of anything you have as long as the teddy is doing something..like sitting very still and staring is fine..

I of course used Barry from Stampfairy - Barry Fishing

Added a gold embossed sentiment for a birthday which is a very old wooden stamp.

The inside has a pocket for a small tag

Tag out..

Barry is holding on for dear life in case the sea gets rough, but Stanley is sitting on the bow watching him, so he will be fine..

Come join in HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll catch up again soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

WEDDING BOOK..

 Hello everyone,

I'm getting along with the scrapbook, we had another meeting and all the photos were labelled and categorized and making things a lot easier..

So back sharing a Wedding book / card I made and sold..

These paper are gorgeous from  Scrap boys?

So I cut panels and away I went..

and tried really hard to make sure the patterns were up the right way.

and made a 4 fold card/book full of pockets and tags

I used dies to make a fancy borders

lace from my stash on the edges..

all the tags were cut outs from the double sided papers

which I find stressful and have to buy two pads..

( that is my excuse and I'm sticking with it )

all the pictures are just beautiful..

So romantic..and even though they are not the real bride and groom,

 I was lucky enough have the right hair colour..

all the pockets were decorated

and also stamped different quotes and sentiments

on the long tags..

ribbon through the tag tops..

and a cute little bow with it's tails glued into a shape..

added flat pearls like little clusters of berries.

Strings of pearls running down the sides...

left..without belly band...right with the belly band..

and die cut  " On your wedding day" and no belly band..

and finally all locked up with the belly band..

so there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you Wednesday with a DT..

I'm like a dog with a bone, I cannot put this scrapbook aside

so not doing any other craft at the moment..

But, I'll be back!

ONE MORE..

 Hello everyone,

I have one more tag to share and only because I was looking for something and found this background I made with tissue papers and music pages glued onto card stock..and it all went from there..

A few wrinkles here and there but it is so pretty and

as the tissue was white with greenery it made the music papers look white washed..

Then my first stamp that went on was the Indian ( the green one on the right )

then into my box of potage stamps and a few stickers..

even poked a die cut in there of a clock.

added an aeroplane die cut.

I sealed the whole tag and when dry I shaded and highlighted a bit..you can see the difference in this last picture..

So there you go, my last tag,  I seriously need to get on with that scrapbook, fortunately

we have come to a decision on a theme which is travel, so that will help me as the photos are old not in great order of time, so I can fill up with stickers and die cuts and papers and stuff to do with travel..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

ANYTHING GOES..DT

 Hello everyone,

Hope you week is going well so far, I'm into the middle almost as it is Wednesday here and time for another fun challenge with Little Red Wagon  and our Imke is hostess and her theme is, A for anything goes.

I'm sharing a birthday card I made for my grandaughter Maddie,  my grandsons girlfriend.

A bit if shabby chic vintage..

A fancy panel fold, gorgeous papers and lace.

I loved all the images so had to use all the paper panels, well, nearly, they came in A5 panels

and I was not afraid to cut them down the middle or wherever I wanted.

The black and white stripe is my all time favourite for a kick start

anything goes with black and white stripe, and check out those tiny tassels on the tag.

It stands up and has space to write on the back..

This photo was not my first choice to share but it was all I had left to show!!

So come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I'll see you tomorrow..

MORE TAGS..

 Hello everyone,

The sun arrived, now I'm hot and want the rain again, I'm never satisfied, just wish it didn't get so HOT!!

Never mind, it is not too bad as long as the breeze comes in the front door from the sea..loverly..

Right, I'm here for some more tags and had fun with this one..

these tags I made ages ago, the were collaged with scrap papers, and glued very heavily and they are soooo thick and crunchie.

But when I went to stamp my postage stamps and things,

 I had to change ink as not a lot showed..

but changed to stazon and things went better..

Ran out of my postage striped papers I had last time, so printed this one out and squished it together to make the stripes tighter...

then inked it as it was too white..

Stamped the Airmail stamp, trimmed it and popped it onto the striped papers..

on an angle..

and there you go, perfectly crooked and not even..

I also stamped bugs then cut then out with postage die

and glued them on my tags..

Then got out all my bug stickers, and stuck a big bug on the background

of each tag and animal stickers onto card stock and postage cut them out but smaller..

then everything fell into place and I gave them a light white splattering and all was well...

Thank you so much for stopping by,,

I'll see you tomorrow

STAMPS..

 Hello everyone,

Been a busy old time around here, with garden fixing and card orders flying out the door, and doing a scrapbook order at the moment and find it a little stressful as I cannot connect with the photos I was given and really trying to get more info about the people so I can work on the album..but I made time for some tags for a challenge..

I cut three tags and had theses postage papers in my stash forever and had used some of them

 but just for cutting up, and so, I did it again..

I have plenty of real, sort of , postage stamps in my stash,

 a whole container to be exact, and no lick to stick, they are already stickers, so that's a bonus.

I cut out some post cards, tiny ones and layered them onto 

striped paper for a postal edging.

then out came postage clear stamps and stamping began..

and the postage stamp stickers were placed here and there..

But, now I needed numbers, stamped ones..

So I did that. added string to the tops, and forgot to make the tag corners!

So there we go..

thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll catch up soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
