Happy Wednesday again everyone - thanks to everyone who dropped round last week. Once again I have - no new things to show you!!! Must be a miracle, two weeks on the trot (although there is some stash on the way to me.....)
Once again I combine my What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday (hosted by our lovely Desk Matron Julia) with my Dragon's Dream tag.
This week, we are challenging you to "look to the skies" and I very nearly didn't make it - inspiration deserted me - until, sitting in bed with my early morning cup of tea on Tuesday before getting up for work(and I mean early, it was 5.30) it came to me.
I suddenly remembered I had this texture mat - remember them - by Carolines - don't think they're around any more - and was away.
The tag on the left on my craft mat, is what I came up with and rejected, Monday night...
This is the resulting - very very quick! - tag...
Inked the texture mat with some blue distress inks and stamped a piece of paper, cut it out to a tag shape, stamped the B-lines "Paris" hot air balloon and part of a Penny Black Eiffel Tower stamp to fall off the bottom of the tag.
Some little self-inking text stamps and a piece of ribbon.
10 minutes, finished!!
Phew....
So, I hope you will find this week's theme easier than I did and come join us. Failing that, head over to Julia's and lets go desk hopping again!!
See you soon.

I LIKE that tag! Simple and classy!! On the other hand, I really like your tag from the previous post too, which is the complete opposite, all frou frou and luscious! Have a great crafting week!! xx
Great tag - love the background with those clouds. Fabulous! Hugs, Neet #3
Great tag! Hope your new stash comes soon!
Thank you for your visit today and your lovely comments. The techie side seems to be behaving today - I dare not go further with that. That tag with the clouds is really special. I love it - and the owls too.
We do our thinking and composing in the same place too - I often lie in bed coming up with ideas. Neat! Love this entry - the clouds stamp perfect for the job. And I have both those stamps too. Feeling like a stalker now!!
Love your tag - a very good make with you saying you have no mojo! Don't look like that to me!! Ha, ha..
Hugs,
