Beary cute scraps!

I was working on a project actually using a bunch of scraps

but still had a little bit left when finished

so decided to make a tag.

These are my scraps.

I did add a piece of scrap white for the tag base

then some silver to matt it onto.

I used the triangular off cuts for the top of my tag

and one solid piece for the bottom.

The stamp set is called Beary Cute (SU)

and I stamped the tree and stencilled some

snow and sky to my base.

I added a piece of white ricrac to the bottom.

The bear was stamped cut and coloured

and I stamped and cut round my sentiment

and backed onto some silver scraps.

The tag was finished with some tulle

and a bead.

How come using scraps is such hard work lol.

But saying that, I was tempted to just

dump these leftovers in the bin!

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Michele and it's

Winter Holidays!

Perfect theme to get some tags done in time for Christmas!

For my tag I have kept it really quick and simple.

I made a white tag base, stamped the deer, then added some blue

to the background which I also added wink of stella to.

I stamped the sentiment in the same blue.

The tag was finished with a metal eyelet and some bakers twine!

Still like a winter wonderland here, too slippery to go out walking

and hard to keep the heat in!

Let hope we get a thaw soon!!

 

Believe!

I spent a nice 15 minutes making another tag for my challenge

over at Tag Tuesday which is

Christmas in July.

I inked up my background using misty moonlight and bumblebee inks (SU).

I then stamped the images using my new  stamp from Creative Expressions

called Above the Roof Tops in black memento ink.

I added some light to the houses using gel pens

and added some snowflakes using  a chalk pen (SU).

I finished by stapling some spotty ribbon to the top.

I hope you get time to join me. Not a lot of entries this time round!!

Did I scare you all???

Update on Ruth (DIL's Mum).

They have now got things under control and hoping to move

her out of ICU into a ward.

She has now been diagnosed with systemic pneumonia

and the antibiotics are hopefully doing their job well.

She is not allowed to fly home on her set date so will

hopefully be happy to stay with Rachel for a few more weeks.

They reckon the plane journey may have brought things to the fore

as she has been suffering with repeated chest infections for the last

18 months. Fingers crossed this will see her get a chance at a good recovery.

Thanks for all your kinds thoughts.
