Tag, You're IT! Challenge #99~Sunflower Thanks

Hello,

Welcome to Tag, You're It Challenge #99, where Bobby has selected this lovely autumn image as inspiration!

I've brought out the incredibly pretty Sunny Studio's Sunflowers and Studio Katia tags for this challenge, then added them to a panel background. Just a reminder that, for our challenge, our focus is tags but a card, scrapbook layout and journaling card with a tag, even if it's teeny tiny, is acceptable.  Bookmarks and scraplings can take the form of a tag, too. Just have fun and be creative with TAGS! Hopefully, this opens up possibilities and encourages you to play along with us! 

Looking forward to seeing your tag-a-licious creativity in the gallery!

Tag, You're IT Challenge #97~Fun with Flags...Penguin Birthday Tag

Hello,

Welcome to Tag, You're It Challenge #97, where lovely Kara invites us to draw inspiration from this fabulous flags/banner image...as well as the duck, spools of thread and assorted embellishments. Lots to pique ideas!

I brought a banner-holding MFT Sending Sweet Birthday Wishes penguin to play and used the spools as my palette. He's so cute! That face...I just what to squeeze his little cheeks!

After taking the photo, I added the tag to an embossed background panel. Why share this? As a reminder that for our challenge our focus is tags but a card, scrapbook layout and journaling card with a tag, even if it's teeny tiny, is acceptable. Even bookmarks and scraplings can take the form of a tag. Just have fun and be creative with TAGS! Sooooo...hopefully, this opens up possibilities and encourages you to play along with us! 

Looking forward to seeing your creativity in the gallery!

Tag, You're It! Challenge #93~Bookmarks

Hello,

Welcome to Tag, You're It! Challenge #93, where we're inviting you to design bookmarks! Something fun; something practical, especially as the school year is rapidly approaching. Feel free to be inspired by the photo or by whatever you choose, from classy and elegant, to cute and whimsical. Looking forward to being dazzled (and would love if you shared a favourite book you've read...I'm always on the lookout!). 

I love these shelves, filled with rows of books and various knick-knacks. Definitely 'book' marks! As it turns out, I found a sheet of Pinkfresh Studio paper with a similar design, so I made three tags and all VERY simple, with the addition of a some stickers, a bit of die-cutting (didn't want to waste the wee strip I had left over after creating the tags) and a teensy bit of stamping. 

Looking forward to seeing your bookmarks in the gallery! 

Please be sure to visit our guest designer, Marcia Hill, as well as my teammates - Kara, Kim, Bobby and Nancy Such fabulous inspiration!

Thank you for dropping by!

Tag, You're It! Challenge #89~Umbrella Inspiration...Sending Sunshine

Hello

Welcome to the new challenge at Tag You're It!, where our lovely, talented Donna has selected this fabulous umbrellas photo as our inspiration

Theme Challenge: Umbrellas

I have one umbrella die, but the two of us don't really see eye to eye sooooo...I went in a slightly different direction in creating an umbrella, drawing inspiration from Ardyth, of MASKerade fame. You can see her lovely rainbow umbrella here. Since I have a bundle of rainbow bits from previous cards, I decided to match a few up (size-wise, rather than proper ROYGBIV) and design one of my own...complete with sunshine and clouds! 

That's it from me; please check out the amazing tags designed by my teammates, then bring your Umbrellas inspired tags to the gallery!

Welcome to Tag, You're It! Challenge #85, where DT Bobby has selected *EASTER* as our theme for the next two weeks. Hard to believe Easter is nearly upon us, even though it's considered 'late' this year! Time's a-flying!

I'm on a cross-stitch kick these days so...found a couple of Easter tag patterns on the MFT site and away I went! These didn't take long to stitch at all...and oh, how cute they are in real life! Those MFT designers are fabulous in sharing sweet images with us - to stamp, die-cut, colour and stitch!

Tag, You're It Challenge #81...Oceans of Joy

Hello,

Yayyy...so excited to be back, playing 'Tag, You're IT' with my awesome design team gals and you, our wonderful audience! Welcome to Challenge #81, where we're drawing inspiration from the 2019 Pantone Colour of the Year: Coral. Feel free to use the colour/image to spark your tags...

Credit: Vanessa Peka

For my tag, I was 'caught up' with the 'word' coral, and images I associate it with...ocean creatures!  Hero Arts layered seahorse (in coral...abandoned coral, to be precise *grin*), starfish and shell (both in tumbled glass/faded jeans...to pay homage to the image). The background waves were inked with stormy sky....not sure why they appear grey in the photo; in real life, they're blue...

That's it from me; looking forward to seeing how you feature CORAL on your tags!

Thank you for dropping by!

Tag, You're It....The Goodbye Post

Hello,

Today, I'm joining in with the design team - both present and past - to bid 'adieu' to the wonderfully unique Tag, You're It Challenge that spanned 3 1/2 years and 79 challenges. Heavy-heart? Yes...very. And I don't want to talk about it *sob* Being on this team was an honour; and learning to create on mini canvases certainly stretched my design skills!

For my 'finale', I'm sharing my Top Three favourite tags, followed by a collage of those that made me - and hopefully you - smile.

• To our wonderful leader, Tracey: a deep, from-the-heart thank you for believing that I was 'good enough' to be part of the team. I've loved every. single. moment!
• To my fabulous team: you gals are awesome! Your creativity is outstanding; your friendship, treasured.
• To all who visited my tags: THANK YOU! Your encouragement means more than I have words to express!
• To all who played in the Tag, You're It Challenges: THANK YOU x a kazillion for your support and participation! Your tags - each and every one - were delights! 

I'm going to miss Tag, You're It...maybe this can just be a 'see you later'...right?! Fingers crossed....

Thank you for dropping by!
