31 Days of Creativity Day 26 & PTI Oct Blog Hop

I have linked up at the Nester to join in on the 31 Days Challenge!

Day 26 & The October blog hop challenge is to make five gift tags!


After seeing Laura Bassen's tag last month I was in love!  These were fairly quick and easy to make and I think they look wonderful!  You can never go wrong with glitter and these are so sparkly!

Thanks for stopping by!
 
To see my other 31 Days Challenges for this year:

Happy May Day!

I don't remember when it started but for as long as I can remember I have given my mom flowers on May Day.  This year will be no different.  I started making these flowers a last month but never finished them. (Can you tell I am a procrastinator? Nah.)  This all started while I was browsing Pinterest and seeing tons of beautiful paper flowers and was amazed that they were being made from coffee filters.  So I found a tutorial I liked and started making them. Then stopped. Then started again. Then stopped... You get the picture. I did finally get them done! 

I think theses are so pretty gathered together!  There are five flowers here.

I stamped a tag and tied it to the bouquet.

I thought I would give her a little something that she can carry with her wherever she goes, to know that she is loved!

The heart is a pocket token from Lisa Leonard Designs.  This is my third order in a little over a month!  All of her items are handcrafted and simply stunning!

Thank you for stopping by and wishing you a wonderful May Day!

 

Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2012 - Day 4 by Jennifer McGuire

It was love at first sight with Jennifer's tag!  I ran right out and purchased the mirror and I had everything else on hand.  One thing though, have you ever tried to take a picture of a mirror and not be in the picture?  Try it.  It is not that easy.  :)

In real life it is very shiny and pretty!

Memory Preservation Badge-Mini Book Challenge

"Memory Preservation Badge- Mini Book Challenge"

Oh my gosh I can't believe that I have been working on this project since about Noon yesterday!  There were several neat challenges to choose from and I chose Melissa's.  This is what I came up with:

I think the reason it took me so long was that I couldn't come up with a color scheme and then I was over thinking the whole thing! (That happens to me a lot!)  Anyway I am glad this one is behind me.  Now it's on to the next challenge!

Thank you for stopping by!

 

My Version of Tim's day 4 Christmas Tag

This was a fun technique to do.  These new stains are great. I tried to do this background with just the stamp pads and a spritz of water but it just didn't do what the stains do.  So I ran to the LSS and bought some more stain. I am really starting to like the glossy accents glue also used inside the number 25. 

Thanks for looking!

Celebrate the Season Christmas Tag

I was checking out the Tim Holtz blog about a month ago and he had a link to Tammy Tutterow's post with a really cool technique with De-bossing and Crackle paint.  I will be using this technique again for sure!

Sparkle Christmas Tag

I visited Impress Stamps last week and they have sample cards, tags etc. on their end-caps. I saw a card and KNEW I had to try it. I think this is my favorite tag so far!

Silent Night Christmas Tag

While surfing Pintrest I came across this printable Christmas paper which was the inspiration for this tag!

Let it Snow Christmas Tag

Glitter Frosty! He is so cute!

 

Celebrate Christmas Tag

I really like the look of this tag. Kind of a vintagey (is that even a word, it should be!) feel.

Deck the Halls Christmas Tag

I wanted to try out some of the new(used) stamps I bought a couple of months ago and this tag is what became of that play session.



 

Most Wonderful Time of the Year Christmas Tag

With the 12 Days of Christmas Tags coming up (I made this over Thanksgiving weekend)  I wanted to start playing with my tag punch so I grabbed some scrap paper and this is what I came up with.

Christmas Tag Day One

This my version of these two tags: Tim Holtz and Shelly Hickox

They both have excellent instructions on their sites so check them out and give it a try!  Leave me a comment and a link to your blog if you make one, I would love to see it!

Happy Crafting,
