Tag You're It "Time"

The theme this week on the Tag You're It blog is Time for Tea. Well, being LDS (i.e. a "Mormon"), I don't do tea LOL So I'm just using the "time" part of the theme for my tag. I chose to do an accordion tag, with a letter spelling out "time" on each section. Each of the postage stamps is from a paper by Rusty Pickle. For the first one I embossed the ring on the "always" circle tag, added some buttons, and a big "T" stamped behind it. The next section has a clock face stamped on the background, a watch hand, and glitter on the flowers of the postage stamp. Next I added a watch crystal on the pocket watch on the postage stamp. On the final section I added a vintage button from my grandma. Unfortunately I managed to break the center of the button, so I disguised it with a rhinestone (because there should always be sparkle on every project :) ). The alphabet stamps are the collage set by SU!, one of my favorite alphas. This was a fun project, and I think I'll put it on my computer desk to remind me to not spend so much TIME on the computer LOL

Sketch tag

This week's challenge on the Tag You're It blog was a sketch. These are the colors in my family room, and this is actually the third tag I've made in these colors. I was joking with dh that I will end up with a wall of tags LOL It's just so easy for me to create in these colors; they really speak to me. And of course I love anything with a quote on it! Surprisingly, there isn't any bling on this tag, just mini deco fasteners and prima flowers. I need some nice mossy green glitter LOL

Tag You're It in Purple

This is my purple tag for the Tag You're It blog. The challenge this week was to create a purple tag. My wedding colors (13 years ago!!) were lavender and white, so this will go nicely on a wedding scrapbook layout. Yes, I really am that far behind in my scrapbooking LOL. I had to add glitter to the wings, and a rhinestone in the center of the flower, because it's just no fun without the bling :)

Paper crafting tags

I found a blog called Weekend Taggers/Tag You're It. They post a challenge every week (I think LOL), and the challenge for this week was to use red, cream and brown on a tag. Well, since I really wanted to create something, and I always do better if I have a challenge or a deadline, I decided to give it a try. Here is my creation...

And then I decided to make another goodie, just for fun. The argyle background paper was actually the packaging for a stamp I bought, and I decided it was way too cute to throw away. So I added a few embellishments and a quote (seriously LOVE quotes), and here it is! The butterfly and the flowers in the tea cup and in the metal embellie in the top left corner are cut from a flower catalog, and then embellished with rhinestones. I have this sitting in my white basket with a bird's nest and a glass jar full of bird's eggs. They make a nice little tableau :)
Now, just as soon as I get my desk cleaned up AGAIN, and find another challenge, I'll create something else! Check out the Tag You're It link for more red/brown/cream tag ideas!
