Love is in the air

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Here's a a very happy, healthy and crafty one

for us all.

Our first challenge of 2026 is live over at

Tag-along (and ATC's)

and the optional theme is

Love/Romance or anything goes

on a tag, ATC or bookmark.

For my tag I used a set called Fragile Fragments

from AALL & Create.

I inked up the background in pink ink

and stamped the middle heart out twice and layered

it up and coloured it yellow.

I added some colour to the large heart

and then added some pompoms to the bottom

of my tag.

The top was punched using my

tag topper punch (SU) and

finished with some tulle.

I would like to enter this into

Little Red Wagon - use force (punch)

A Perfect Time to Craft - anything goes

Crafts Galore Encore - anything goes

Love to craft - anything goes

****************************************

For my ATC I pulled out a very old wooden stamp

from Forever Friends.

I stamped them onto my ATC and

coloured them up using markers,  then

masked them off to stencil behind

using an old stencil from SU in pink ink.

I added the word stickers in black and gold.

I would like to enter this into

Critter Crazy - feature a critter

Crafty Animals - include an animal

Moving Along with the Times - stencil and/or dies

I hope you get time to join us and remember

we have a lovely prize up for grabs too.

 A gentle reminder, you can enter collections of ATC's

but only single Tags or Bookmarks.

I'm off back to the kitchen as we have

another 7 coming for dinner today.

Bear necessities!!

It's time for a new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and this time Sandie wants to see NUMBERS!

I was searching for a different stamp entirely when I came

across some of my old wooden stamps from

Forever Friends.

I have a handful of these which I kept for the

Grandkids when they spent the day here.

I made my tag base from a lilac card then added some scraps

from HOTP birthday pack along with a paper ribbon.

I stamped some numbers into each circle using

Alphabest and Make a Difference stamp sets (SU).

I coloured up the bear with my markers and cut him out.

I finished with  some ribbon and a sentiment and cut out

from the paper back.

Come and join us and use up some of your table scraps!!
