a tag or two!

I thought I would share a tag today that I taught in a class last Thursday night.  There were a total of 3 tags taught  and everyone seemed to have a great time making them.  I know I enjoyed visiting with the new students and look forward to having Denise and her daughter Heather come again whenever they can...now I say that cause Heather lives down in Houston and only gets to Oklahoma infrequently.  Hope to see Denise next month though!

I make all my tags using manila folders to cut down on cost cause I make so many of the darned things.  I think they do as well as the 20 tags for $5 card that you buy pre-cut.
In celebration of St. Patricks Day
The St. Patrick's Day tag was made using a Tim Holtz picture frame folder, Tim Holtz sentiment, Distress inks, Graphic 45 Paper, Martha Stewart 4 leaf clover punch, paper roses, gold coin from the party shop, and a cross that used to be a button!  The ribbon fob is jewelry findings from Hobby Lobby and the ribbon is seam binding from Stampin' Up!
A key to the city!
The key to the city was made using the Tim Holtz mini stamp set  Paris to London that came out last year and the voyage sentiment stamp.  I first inked with distress ink, stamped the collage stamp in white and then the fleur de leis and postage stamp in black.  The Eiffel tower is stamped on manila card and cut out and pop dotted up.  I found a bunch of these keys and cards of crowns in the dollar bin at Michael's and bought several of them for future use.  The leaves are cut out with the Tim Holtz Tattered Foliage die and I love the paper roses.  
The three tags together.
I posted the middle tag a couple weeks ago...if you want to see a bigger picture go here.  All the products used on this tag are by Dyan Reavely of Dylusions and Ranger Ink except for the Tim Holtz sentiment stamp!

I love tags.  Little pieces of art and so much fun to make!

WOYWW #195

Welcome to my desk.  Not much different then it was last Wednesday but I have been busy making cards and doing a few other things this week.  

I received a delivery from Stamps of Life of some new Easter dies and stamps.  I also bought a Sizzix die that makes a flip card that I am excited to start using.  I just bought the basic square but I can see so much potential and fun to be had with it.  

 I thought I would share a multi mat card I made for St. Patricks Day.  I know that St. Patrick's day isn't celebrated in the UK like it is here and I wonder if it isn't one of those holidays started by the immigrants from Ireland to the USA.    Anyway it is a lot of fun.  My grandfathers family are from Irish and German stock and he always enjoyed laying the blarney on thick. 
Anyway that's all for my desk today.  Hope to make it around to more desks this week.  I think I will go get my cup off the desk and make another cup of tea and hop around and take a good snoop of desks today.  If you would like to join in go to Stamping Ground and click on the little button in the upper left corner that says WOYWW!  Julia has all the deets about how to start having fun with us.  Have a great week everyone!
