Tag Galore (Part 2)

I'm back today with a look at the second tag swap which I organized with a group of crafty friends here in Colorado.  First off, here is the tag I made.

It is loosely based on this Tim Holtz tag from 2009.  I just love those photos (downloaded from Tim's blog) - what memories they bring back!

Here is closer look at some of the elements.

The filmstrip was cut with the Silhouette Cameo and the writing was also done with the Cameo using the Chomas Penn Holder.  Here are a few of the tags packaged up and ready to go.

 I had a great time over dinner swapping tags with my friends, and here are their beautiful tags that I received in return.

Thank you to all of my friends for the tags, I love each and every one of them.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I hope to see you next time.

A Bunch of 'Bad Apples'

So yesterday I volunteered (last minute) to make a 'Get Well' card that my daughter needed.  As I have mentioned before she is a Denver Roller Doll - recently roster-ed on to the 'Bad Apples" roller derby team.  Many people who I have told about this have greet the news with some disdain, that I would let my daughter join these ranks of women who are generally regarded as somewhat 'trashy'??

Well, let me tell you about these so-called 'trashy' women.  One of them learned that a very young fan was in hospital diagnosed with a very serious condition - that skater immediately contacted the rest of her team and arranged to go and visit this little girl in hospital, take her a card and a load of roller derby goodies.

I volunteered to make the card for them all to sign.  Here is how it turned out.

All of this was cut using my Silhouette Cameo and files from the Silhouette online store.  The tree apples are stamped with Peachy Keen faces and mounted on action-wobble springs (sorry no video as I was cutting this one close to the wire.)  The sentiment on the sign was made using a single line font and a gel pen in my Chomas Pen Holder - I'm really happy with how it turned out.

The sentiment inside reads 'Get Better Soon!' - with plenty of space left for the team to sign and write messages (the card is actually 12" x 12".)

So at the end of the day I am proud of my daughter for being involved in Roller Derby, and no matter what others may think, I think she has an awesome bunch of teammates.

Thanks for stopping by.
