I'm back!

Thanks to all of you for your patience while we were without internet.  Whew...feels SO good to be back among the blogging and blurfing.  We found a wonderful new provider, and the installation process was easy and quick.

The third challenge at Stamp TV was to create a duo of tags.  I chose to use the same paper collection, different stamp sets, and sort of 'flip' the layouts.  These are two of my favorite Gina K. Designs sets, so it was fun to work them up.  Tags are a real challenge for me, so I thought they turned out well!

Gina K. Designs 'The Northwoods' by Theresa Momber, and 'Lighthearted Wishes' by Tami Mayberry

This stamp set is one of the duo's that Gina K. Designs carries.  You get the butterfly and sentiment, and the price is SO reasonable!  I colored the butterfly with Copics, and tried to keep the colors very muted, to work with the background papers (Authentique). Used my Perfect Papercrafting tools for the wonderful matting - see sidebar for details!

Gina K. Designs 'Hope Is'

That's all I have for today!  Hope that you have a nice weekend in store.  It should be quiet here, and I'm hoping for some craft time.

Keep smiling!!!

Thanks for stopping by today :)

Hugs,
Patti J.

    Your tags are amazing, Patti! Your card is beautiful, too. I have been wondering what image to use on a card I need to make and your butterfly inspired me to use one of the butterfly images I have on hand. Thanks! Glad your computer woes are over.

    I love those tags - I'm always amazed at how other cardmakers do tags, as I seldom know what to do with them. Your Theresa Momber design is gorgeous, and love the setting on your die. Great tags! The beautiful was wonderful with your Authentique papers, marvelous coloring. I think this might be my fav paper company. Well, then there's G45 too! TFS & glad you are back online. We really miss it when it goes away, don't we? TFS & Hugs

    I ALWAYS admire stunning tags and like vintage for me... I just can't seem to get the hang of it. must be the small space! but then, I don't scrapbook... must be the BIG space. now cardmaking... that's just right!

    love, love, love the tags and the card is stunning.

    yep. don't know what i'd do if they took blogging away. even if no one comments at least I journal and enjoy it.

    hope you're staying warm. this so totally sucks!

    hugs :)

    The tags turned out beautiful, Patti. I have never done them and am envious. I really like the scenes you added to them and those pearls and lace are the perfect embellishments too. Your card is very warm and pretty! I really like how you mounted the butterfly and the sentiment is wonderful with it!
