Designing in 2012!

I design for 2 different companies--and it is such an honor. They are Shabby Cottage Studio and Dezinaworld. I just created this repurposed box with an image from Dezinaworld and also scrapbooking paper and burlap.

I stamped the sides to give it an "aged" look.

I created these tags with images from Shabby Cottage Studio. Each one is an image with dreamy writing in French.

If you are ever in need of images, I hope that you will check out both of these amazing stores.

Mixed Media Tags

My newest ebook just became a Bestseller on Amazon! It is filled with creative projects that can be made for Christmas~or any time of year. If you would like to read about it, just click HERE.

I adore creating tags and wanted to make them as gifts for Christmas~

I mounted them in double frames~

I design for Shabby Cottage Studio and I created all of these with their torso tag sheets.

I embellished them with images from The Graphics Fairy.

I purchased vintage dress patterns and used them for the tag backgrounds and stamped them using various stamps.

Getting Your Creative Groove On

Hi Everyone--

As many of you know, I am the Artist in Residence for Shabby Cottage Studio. I absolutely love their Combo Tag Set, so I used their Paris bicycles tag to create this journal. Right now, there is a big sale going on there, so you might want to go over and stock up on images and supplies that you can use all year long! (This tag is part of a large set that has lots of gorgeous tags in it ready for immediate download after purchase.)

One more thing...If you are the first person to order something from my Etsy shop, you will receive this journal free with your purchase. I am not announcing this in my store, but rather, for my blog friends.

I hope you’re having an awesome holiday time! Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary, so this is indeed, a special week for me!

Meet the "Sewing Girls!"

Hi Everyone--

I have just completed these brand-new tags that I couldn’t wait to show you! Why? Because it is now almost 11:30 at night and I started them at 2 this afternoon...I know, way too long, but I’m a perfectionist! (And no, I didn’t eat dinner, but that’s a good thing because Dr. Atkins, may he rest in peace, would be proud that I’ve stuck to this low-carb, or I should say “no-carb” diet!)

So, here are my “Sewing Girls!”

The Whimsical Fairies Have Arrived!

Welcome to my "Wish Garden" where fairies abound!
These endearing Victorian fairies from the estate of
Cicely Mary Barker arrived and landed on these
handcrafted tags--not really, but it feels that way!

This exclusive collection of tags was created
using commercial images from the Barker Estate
in England.


The fairies are so happy that you came to visit--
and so am I!


I hope you'll visit them in my Etsy shop!

Also, I hope you'll scroll down and see my brand-new Torso Tags...I had to post everything on the same day because Blogger will be disabled for awhile due to maintenance...so, I had to get everything done in time to show it all to you!

Surprise Day!

Hi Everyone--
Well, once again I am having "Surprise Day!" and I made a grungeboard tag and decorated clothespins for Maria of Bubblegum and Duct Tape. They were created with commercial papers and embellishments and were made to match Maria's decor. If you notice, the message on the clothespins says "Happily Ever After"--that's my wish for Maria!

Linked up to A Glimpse of Beautiful--Hugs to Renee!

Don't forget--I am still having a drawing, so scoot down the page to enter! It's a yellow piece that says "Dream" on it!!
Just put your name in and you will be in the drawing.
Hugs,
Cindy

New "Surprise Day!"--Ballet Tags

For Suzanne of Florida


For the owner of the blog Ballet News


Hi Everyone,
I am having another Surprise Day today!

I picked 2 names at random and made these special tags.

One is for Suzanne of Florida (the one that says "Ballet Class")

and the other one is for the owner of the blog, Ballet News! (The clock face is not part of the tag.)

When you see their beautiful blogs, you'll understand why I picked a "ballet" theme.

Congratulations!

Please just email me your addresses (and last names) so I can mail them to you!

They are made with commercial papers and embellishments. Also, the Ballet News tag features a graphic from the Graphics Fairy.

I am also linking these up to Tag Tuesday!
