I'm back with A Tag and A Sketch...

So as I said in my last post that I would start posting on my blog again mid April.. This entire year so far has zoomed right on by... It's been crazy with working, buying a new home, moving and then having health issues...  We are still unpacking a few boxes every weekend but for the most part the house is unpacked and everything is in it's place except for my scraproom.. I still have a sea of boxes on the garage but it's coming together nicely... This past weekend I had a friend over and we did a little scrapping... It felt good inking and gluing again..  With that said here is a little something that I created with some new supplies and my go to stamps from KinderStampO.

Feliz Navidad Tag...

So with it being December and still in the high 70's here in Texas. I thought it was the perfect time to get into the Christmas Spirit and start creating some Christmas Gift Tags...  Most of my stuff is still out in the garage awaiting us finding a house to buy so I am limited to what I managed to pick up a few Christmas/snowy things but when creating I would really love to have a lot more options, but I am making the best of what I have with a Hobby Lobby/Michaels trip planned for today... hehe

Here is my first Christmas tag of the year...  Using my Ipad to take my photos and edit them as I got a new computer and can't seem to find my photo shop cd yet. I'm sure it's in the garage packed with all my amazing Christmas embellishments...

Thanks so much for taking a little peek at my blog.  I will be back with another project tomorrow.  Till then... Happy Crafting.

Thank you's and a little love...

The house hunting in Texas is still in full swing.  A little harder to do from Washington, but we are making some progress.  Not looking forward to packing things up since I finally got my scrap room the way I wanted it...  Although being able to paint my new room any color I want is a plus.. We just need to find the house first...lol With that said lets get on to today's projects.

First I would like to share with you a card I created with the amazing tools from Purple Cows.

 I created this card using the Purple Cows CraftGeek Punch It Autumn Punch and the Pin It with the Solstice Pins.  For a full supply list and how to visit the Purple Cows blog.

Next are a couple tags I created for my daughter.  She is giving thank you's to all her teachers this year as she is graduating from high school and wanted a special thank you for all of them..  I posted the ones for her female teachers last week.  These are for her male teachers.

Shabby Chic Gift Tags...

I have made a series of Shabby Gift Tags and I wanted to share some photos of them with you all today...

Since we will be moving in a few short months I am no longer teaching classes, but at the request of some of the ladies I am now going to be putting up YouTube videos of my projects so they can see what I'm up to and how I assemble some of my projects.. So with that said here are a few videos that I did over the weekend.

Gift Tags

I can't believe it's been 10 days since I last posted on my blog.  Where does the time go???  The weather has been so nice here in the Pacific Northwest and we have been taking full advantage of it.  I tell ya what this nice 70 degree weather I am sure going to miss when we move.  Hubby is getting ready to retire from the Navy after 21 years. We are sure looking forward to our next great adventure that will begin in the great state of Texas.  Not looking forward to packing etc but a fresh start is always nice.  The house hunting is in full swing and not easy being far away.  Thank god for Facetime as we have done a few facetime showings with a couple realitors and it is so much better then looking at countless photos etc. lol  Anyway enough of that.

Today I wanted to share with you a couple more tags I created using the Purple Cows CraftGeek Wind It and Punch It...  These are for my youngest sons 2 teachers.  All I have to do is add the Starbucks gift cards to them.

Happy Monday and a couple tags...

Happy Monday...  Man the weekends sure seem to fly by.  The weather was amazing and I managed to get the kids together for a photo.  It's always hard to get them in one place as they are busy with sports, working, friends etc. It all worked out and we got a couple good ones.  Hubby took the boys to see The Avengers.. they loved it and talked about it for the rest of the day. hehe   I spent the weekend in my scrap room whipping up some much needed Mothers day tags.. So today I would like to share them with you... These were created for my mother in law and my mom.  We don't live close to any family so I had to get these done up so I could put them in the mail today with there gifts.  I used a lot of odds and ends on these and really love how they turned out.
