Ballerina Looking Glass

 Hello!

It is my day up on the Gecko Galz Blog, and do I have a project to share with you! I love to use found items in my projects, that could something found at a garage sale, a discount store, at a flea market, where ever!  This gem I found was at a local discount store, for 99 cents, it is intended use was to be a trivet, I turned into a Looking glass, filled with beautiful vintage ballerinas.

I had plenty of images to use with this beautiful set Pas Du Deux found on the Gecko Galz Etsy store.

                           Add beautiful trim and a sheer gold bow to finish off an one of kind project!

                        I fell in love with image and wanted to make a stand alone project, a tag.

Thanks for visiting,

Spring Daffodils Coffee Beans May 2020

Welcome Back Friends,

Where is Spring? April 1 is the day I turn off the heat, not this year. I live in Northeast Ohio, it snowed on May 9. Needless to say my daffodils are frozen.  Thanks to the The Coffee Bean Stamping Machine, I brightened up my craft room while working with their digi daffodils.

Here's what I did
I covered a MDF tag with white card stock. Using Distress Oxide, Fossilized Amber I stenciled the left side of tag. I colored the daffodils with same ink, using a small oval make up brush. I added color to leaves using the same brush and technique. Fussy cut the image out, adhere to the tag. Add a black bow, add black flat back pearls.

Be sure to visit the Coffee Beans blog to see what my talented team mates have created.

Out of this world colors. To the moon and back Happy Craft Feb 2020

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with Happy Craft Challenge Blog. I am sharing my tag for February using the mood board, un traditional colors, using a super cute image from our sponsor for the month, Lemon Short Bread. In celebration of February, I decided on a Valentines theme tag.

Using galaxy patterned paper to cover a kraft tag. I then colored the digi with colored pencils. After punching out tiny flowers and embellishing her dress, I added few to her hair. I then pop dotted her on the tag, for added dimension. Since we were going to the moon and back, I added sequins for a shiny finish!

Have you ever been to the moon and back on Valentines Day !

Thank You for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments.

Steampunk Christmas Tag Flip ScraPerfect 2019

November 26, 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with ScraPerfect with a one of kind holiday Steampunk tag flip! I am smitten with Steampunk! I love every aspect of steampunk, an era gone by, the industrial feel, and of the ingenuity of the time.

 Speaking of ingenuity, I used ScraPerfects Best Glue Ever, to assemble my tag flip! Wow fast grab, quick-drying and you need so little glue. Perfect for all your crafting needs.

ScraPerfect Shop

I began my project by creating 4 different size tags, use as many tags as you like I had 8 images. I first inked all edges, began laying out my tags in composition form, what, where and dimension or no dimension. I assembled all the tags using my Best Glue Ever. Next, I began the embellishment part of my project. I die cut some cogs and gears, inked some and embellished each tag. I used an ornament hook to string my tags on to finish off my tag flip

The front side of my tags,

Backsides of tags

As for assembly, you can make us of many ways to hold your tag flip together. One could use, a large safety pin, a metal hinged ring, ribbon, or as I have an ornament hook. Have fun with it!

As always Thank You for your kind comments and continued support.

Until next time.......

Simply Create Too # 153, ATG Chap Sick Tag Sept 6 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

It is a beautiful day here in north east Ohio!  The sky is blue as can be, with big white fluffy clouds  against the blue sky looks like cotton candy! There is a breeze that feels cool on my skin. Which leads me to think of the up coming season changes. Fall is a big favorite of mine, the colors and the smell of the leaves, as they crunch beneath my shoes, the yet cooler temps and fall festivities leave my lips a bit chapped. I picked up a stash of my favorite chap stick the other day and I found some very different flavors and decided to create a gift tag centered around chap stick!!

The chap stick pouch and pouch frame, along with sentiment stamp that match can be found at My Favorite Things in the "Lip Balm" section.

I have decided to make a bunch of these as little gifts and stocking stuffers for family and friends!

Thank You for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments.

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge Blog # 353 Holiday August 7 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

There is a new Challenge starting over at Addicted To Stamps and More, the theme is Holiday. I live in the States and have been very lucky to have made many web friends all over the world. My friends across the pond refer to their vacation as a holiday, since the blog is across the pond, I decided to create a holiday tag!! 

I used the beach zombie guy from Art Gone Wild, colored him with colored pencils. I used a hole punch for the dots on his blow up swim ring. I pop dotted him against the yellow oval for interest. Stamped a sand dune, sentiment and finished off the edges with a black scribbles.

I  hope you had a chance to take a holiday, I did! It was wonderful
