Walk Down Memory Lane

The tag challenge the past two weeks at Kard Krazy was to use the word 'Postcard' some where in the tag. I started this project kind of mindlessly, meaning no direction in mind. I layed down a little gesso and went from there.
 The main image is from 'Time to Stamp' with a vintage kind of beach theme. The image is probably from the 50's and made me think of my parents in that time period. I ran with it from there, and made a mock postcard that had been sent to my parents, from their best friends back in the day. The image was tinted with Distress inks.

It ended up being a walk down memory lane for me and evoked wonderful memories of my childhood. I love how the image came out fairly muted, looking old and time worn. Unfortunately, I didn't get it posted for the challenge soon enough.

Hope you have a wonderful week, I know mine will be busy.

Friends

There is a weekly tag challenge at Kard Krazy, and I thought I would join in. The theme this week is  Friend, I chose to interpret it as Friends. Red and yellow, two colors I rarely use, but how much fun.
And because I am a card maker, and always seem to need a usefulness for my projects,  I decided to make pocket card. The inside reads 'Don't Get Us Started'. It will be in the mail tomorrow to a good friend.
May we all have wonderful friends! Have a great week.

Tag Hangers

I have done the Tim Holtz 12 days of Christmas tags for the past couple of years and still had many squirreled away. If you look at my previous post, you will see how I was inspired to use some of these tags to turn them into small hangers for gifts.

The tags themselves were not all that wonderful, a practice of technique I would say. But rather than letting them collect dust, I thought it would be nice to make quick gifts. The bases are 3.75" x 6.50" and are made from bookboard.

Christmas Tags

Tim Holtz did the 12 days of Christmas on his blog...each day teaching a new technique, using his products of course. I didn't use all of his products, but did enjoy using his techniques each day. I've posted just a few for you.
