Well, here it is, the news I was teasing you with!!
I was thrilled recently to be asked to join Frankie's DragonsDream Design Team for her Tag It On challenges and have joined a bunch of very talented ladies. This is my first time being part of a design team so I am very excited - but somewhat nervous! Click the link and come join the fun, please!
This week we are challenging you to use "birds" for your tags. Can't wait to see what you do.
I made a very simple tag using Wendy Vecchi stamps (apart from the tiny tiny leaves which are Art Impressions and the 'dream' and 'hope' which are unknown - but from a set of those self-inked stamps - I got them years ago from LB Crafts at a show somewhere!) and distress inks - crushed olive, forest moss, brushed corduroy, and walnut stain.
I decided to make the 'lady' bird sit on a nest which is from Tim's trimmngs, coloured with some distress ink.
I couldn't find a worm for the boy to bring his lady love!!
Whoop di-do! Huge congrats! Does this mean we will see more of the mountain of rubber being used? LOL

Woohoo, congratulations Helen, well deserved, and a beautiful tag to start, love the colours and the nest. xx
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that last comment was supposed to be from me. I've got my granddaughters here and I hadn't realised that Charlotte has signed in, lol, still a brilliant tag xx
ReplyDeleteLove that tag background. Congratulations on your DT position. xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your DT spot. Have just been over to the challenge for a snoop around and may well enter a tag. I have some ideas brewing. Love your tag and the worm comment. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeletep.s. 3.30am or even later is the norm for me. Can't sleep so no point in lying in bed trying to.
Huge congrats H, very well deserved too :) Love the tag and you are, of course, the queen of tags so who else would they choose for the DT? I might even get to join the challenge as I am off from Friday right through to Tuesday 26th so might actually get some "me" time for a change!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being on the DT Helen. This is a lovely tag to start with.
