Affirmation tag! -

In the words of the old song "The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hooray!!"  We woke to sunshine which is lovely and thank you  all so much for your comforting comments.

Well I wrote that bit yesterday, now the sun has disappeared again and the rain will likely last for the next 40 days as it's St Swithins day.  Hope the old wives tale isn't true.

Here is one of my affirmation tags, made from an old card I made and tossed out as not being saleable or giveable.

There are more affirmations on every page but I'll put the rest into a slideshow in my sidebar for you to look at leisurely.

 I've got more tags to do so I'll try and post each day. Phew!!

More views from my Mini tag book!

I've really been feeling down over my aches and pains again this week. A flare up of the rhumatoid arthritis in my hands and elbows plus a bad cold left me feeling too rough to craft much. Sorry for not replying to posts, I will get around to it soon I hope.

Here's some more pages from the tag book I did.This is the first part (one of three) the quote reads " Angels don't worry about you they believe in you!

I didn't colour the image like in the Craft Stamper article, just outlined a little and emphasised the eyes.

Hope you like them and thanks for looking and leaving me any lovely comments. They do lift my spirits. xxx

Stampotique Challenge - Mini Angels Quotes Tag Book!

Hi everyone, I've been feeling a bit down the last few days and decided to take a break from doing craft and finish sorting craft instead. Over at Stampotique Originals http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.coml using any stamps the challenge this week is to make a tag which was just about all I could cope with just now. Of course it ended up as a mini book instead of a tag!!  It started as an A5 white folded card,  misted on both sides with Dylusions spray inks in Pillar Box Red and Vanilla Custard over a Creative Expressions Mask of Trees and Angels.  I cut the card into 3 tags and left the folds intact, just nipping the corners and adding holes.

I found some angel quotes which I stamped with a Studio G Alpha Set and the free stamp by Sarah Lawrence in the Craft Stamper mag this month from Crafty Notions here which I love!! I must get more of these!! These were stamped with TH Distress inks in Aged Mahogany and Rusty Hinge. On the last page above I cut some angels from the paper towel I'd mopped up with and glued 2 of the corners I'd cut off from the tag top to make their wings.  I added a little sparkle glue to these as it's nearly Christmas!! I've shown you the first and last pages here but there are 12 altogether!!  Will  show some more tomorrow in another post.
