Tag Tuesday - Use a postcard cutout
The theme this week over on the tag challenge blog is to use a cutout of a postcard in your possession on your tag. I punched out three faces from the one I found. I chose the paper according to the colors of the postcard, not my normal colors.
I used the Pink Paislee stamps with white ink to decorate the tag and added a few vellum flowers from the design block Lace stamp from Hero Arts and a added a vellum butterfly.

Tag Tuesday - Think Spring!
So happy that Rebecca volunteered to take over the Tag Tuesday challenge! So sorry to see Louise have to pass on the baton, but she hasn't disappeared from the craft blogging world so I'm happy about that!
The challenge is to think Spring this week which is very appropriate as the weather is really gorgeous at the moment and everything is budding and will burst into life soon. I'm waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom and I'm just so enjoying all the shrubs getting flowers and adding color to the garden.
In another light, it shows the pattern on the vellum better:
Thanks to Helle for the lovely die-cut butterflies, it seemed appropriate to use them today. Thanks to Sue for the birdcage and bird! I stamped over the birdcage with the Envelope pattern stamp. I white embossed the Lace stamp on vellum behind the birdcage. I could even make it light up with a candle :)
Tag nr. 2
The new challenge blog can be found here - everybody can join in. Thank you Rebecca.
(N.B - now and again you will see spelling errors in my posts - like asparagus - I called asperges - well that is the Dutch way of saying it. I am thinking and speaking three languages during the day so now and again I get mixed up and don't even realise it...)

Tag Tuesday - Postcards
I actually have a Postcard Tag Stamp, which I found on Ebay ages ago, that I have never used on a card. So now was the time! It is a Life's Journey Stamp from Inkadinkado.
I happened to find some scrap papers to stamp the postcard tag on.
This second one is more of a collage type tag - very enjoyable to make.
Today is Wednesday and I'm going to add another little tag I made this afternoon.
Editing to add: Barbara I hope you look here because I have no means of contacting you. And thank you for praying for David. He is alot better, thank God!
This is the Postcard stamp it is from INKADINKADO K&Co Life's Journey 94409.N.
I have a link here. Ebay might be cheaper.

Tag Tuesday - Friends
Not a very easy theme, I thought, so I chose our 'feathered' friends for my tag.
Its a very simple little thing because I have lost my inspiration. I've been tidying up a bit hoping that something will spark it up again, but it's not happening!
The challenge for this week can be found here on Louise's blog.
The nest and sentiment are stamps from Artistic Outpost and the Friends definition is Hero Arts.
Thank you Brenda for the crochet flower and brad!
Thank you Carole for the tag!

Tag Tuesday - a Tag on a Tag
Hello! Nice to be back home but I thoroughly enjoyed myself in Holland with my boys! Our son Rodney had a wonderful baptism service, together with five other young people. We were moved to tears when he read his testimony of how God had changed his darkness into light from the inside out! He was deep into sin and desolation but God saved him. It was also my DH's 50th birthday yesterday, so I have been lovely and busy.
I found some lovely cheap cardstock in Holland in the sales, just the colors I was looking for. I also had gems in my hands but didn't buy them. Now I am home, I think I must have had a blackout, not to have grabbed the chance while I had it!! So once again, no gems on my tag.
The image on the tag is from Crafty Individuals, haven't used this one in a while.
The label on the bottom of the tag is from The Graphics Fairy. The tag challenge can be found here, on Louise's blog.
Just wanted to add this picture which is actually quite contrary because who would of thought one would see sheep in a vineyard??? I NEVER see sheep other than in a magazine! Well it happened this afternoon.... at the same time you can see that we have beautiful weather.
Hope you are all well!!

Tag Tuesday - Circles
I want to thank everybody for the heart-warming comments I received on my last post about David. I felt so blessed! Thank you!
For this week's Tag Tuesday challenge I was thinking of a round tag but I should of thought of a normal shape tag and round shapes. After popping over to Sue's blog, I get the necessary inspiration and finally got something together! Thanks Sue - I'm also using the lovely brown twine you sent.
This was my first effort - a bit simple but the butterfly is under an acetate circle, which Sue also sent me and I have given it dimension with some tape.
This will be my last post until next week as I am going to Holland on Friday with DH and Joël to see our two other sons who are at Bible School and to attend the baptism of our eldest son Rodney. His father will baptize him, as he has all of his sons.
Will see you all very soon! Take care.

Tag Tuesday - Winter
I didn't expect this theme on Louise's blog this afternoon as I was preparing myself to use butterflies and lovely light colors for the Spring! It is so soft and warm here. But that is often the case in the South of France and it can turn cold again.
I used part of a stamp from Sugar Lump Studios, of children on a sledge in the snow, using tea-dye distress ink. I decorated the outside of the tag with different winter foliage stamps in peeled paint and shabby shutters distress ink and used a sentiment that Louise sent me a while ago. It is one of my favorite words ' JOY' - and I always interpret it as the JOY of the Lord, because that is a precious thing to have. I have e-mail contact with a friend in Holland and we have decided to send each other joy-reports - it is a great reminder of everything we can be thankful for! So much can happen in just a week!
I made this one very quickly before I cleaned and put the stamps away - I have a little head-start for next year Christmas now.

Tag Tuesday - a bit of fabric
Tag Tuesday this week is to use a bit of fabric, and that is my butterfly. It is stamped with a stamp from Eline Pellinkhof on fabric.
I used a piece of a Webster page and the children's image is a stamp from Artistic Outpost.

Tag Tuesday - Mosaic
Definitely the most challenging challenge to date on the Tag Tuesday blog.
I don't even know whether I like this or not... but the sheer challenge of trying this technique just drove me.
I cut all the pieces out by hand. I had a template which I glued to the back of the stamped Peacock image and cut it out that way. Then I glued the pieces down and marked between the lines.

Tag Tuesday - Christmas leftovers
The challenge on Louise's blog this week is as the title announces. As I don't like a mess I tidy up very quickly, need to keep oversight... so I didn't have very much to work with to create a recycled Christmas tag.
I even used the envelope of a card I received this morning which had a strip of gold in it for the underside of the circle. The robin is a strip of Christmas Paper, the two bows were wrapped around a basket of goodies I received, it's some sort of plastic tape. One of the snowflakes was punched out of a bygone Christmas card, and a strip of gold/scarlet was also from a Christmas card - (I only cut into the shop ones to be accurate!)

Tag Tuesday - Silver or Gold
tLouise has a lovely theme for the Tag Tuesday challenge going, to use silver or gold on your Christmas Tag.
As time is quite sparing, I made a couple of quick tags, no fussy embellishments etc. which I usually don't use anyway.... but I'm quite happy I made them because all my cards have been sent, but I still need some more.
I used gold embossing - just adhered a little vintage photo over an embossed stamped image from Hero Arts
with this one and the one underneath.
I hope you all succeed with all the preparations for Christmas. Hope to be back at least one more time this week!
Thank you Louise for a year of fun tag challenges, hope we can continue!

Tag Tuesday - Christmas colors green/brown/yellow
Thank you ladies once again for your lovely comments on my last post, I feel so blessed by them. Yesterday I received the Magazine IRL and was so happy to have a copy.
Another reason to be happy is because Louise is back with her weekly tag challenge! Missed you Louise. It is the one challenge I really look forward to.
Funny thing is, I made this last night and it fits the bill (except for the little touches of pink...).
All I had to do was add something yellow so opted for a flower. This is the first time I'm using a poinsettia stamp that Louise sent to me ages ago and I love it. Why did I discover that so late? So thank you Louise, it works well with collage stamping.
The robin is from Artistic Outpost, stamp plate 'Birds of a Feather which can be found here. The paper is K&Co.

Tag Tuesday - Christmas.. revisited
I can still remember the difficulty I had to find something red, dark blue and turquoise last year, for this tag challenge. Luckily enough this time around, the AO Robin stamp came to mind and I accidentally fished out a turquoise piece of paper while sorting out this morning.
Actually, it is a tag card. It opens up so I can write a message on the inside, that why I punched a hole for some string on the pp not on the tag itself.
Thank you Louise, I really enjoyed these colors this year!

Tag tuesday - backgrounds
Backgrounds is the theme for this week at Tag Tuesday which Pam is hosting. Thanks Pam.
I love distressed backgrounds with tone on tone stamping, just to give that background emphasis. I used other colors here to stamp some flowers, but its still a one layer background, without any embellishments.
If I would have to finish the tag I would probably add a sentiment and could even add an small image of some sort. I agree with Pam that it is a shame to cover up backgrounds with too many embellishments.

Tag Tuesday - Bingo card
Tag Tuesday was to use a Bingo card on your tag and luckily Sue came to my rescue once again as I had one she sent me a while ago... thanks Sue!
I used K&Co papers, and the distress ink is Frayed Burlap which I used to stamp the Artistic Outpost image with on PP.
I paper pieced the Mother's hat and painted her coat with Victorian Velvet distress ink. The little girl has gold buttons on her coat.
Thank you Louise, nice to try something different.
On another note.. 'Be kindly affectionate to one another..' Romans 12:10
I was struck by something Chuck Swindoll wrote yesterday. He said: 'Have you ever stopped to think that all those little irritations which come your way each day, are just God giving you an opportunity to become more Christ-like? What does the Lord do to help broaden my horizons and assist me in seeing how selfish I am? Very simple: He gives me four busy kids who step on toes, wrinkle clothes, spill milk, lick car windows, and drop sticky candy on the carpet... being unselfish in attitude strikes at the very core of our being. It means we are willing to forego our own comfort, our own preferences, our own schedule, our own desires for another's benefit. And that brings us back to Christ.'
We might not all have young children anymore, but I'm sure that can be filled in with other things!
It certainly gave me something to think about and may I add 'Lord make me more Christ-like'!

Tag Tuesday - Front & Back
The challenge at Tag-Tuesday today is Front & Back.
It is a lovely challenge to see your stamps in a different way. I used a Hero Arts collage stamp and my idea was Thank (front) You (back).
Thank you Louise for this enjoyable challenge.
If I send this tag I will write a little message and place my name just under the bird on the back side of the tag.

Tag Tuesday - Moon
My tag for this week.
I distressed using an acrylic block for the background, inspired by a number of blogs I have visited.
The village is a partial image from a Hero Arts stamp and the sentiment is from Darkroom doors.

Tag Tuesday - Calendar
I just had to play this week and since DH gave me a free morning from work today, I had a little extra time.
The lovely Sue Czosek sent me an amazing birthday present, just look at this beautiful stamp plate from Artistic Outpost!
Had to at least ink one of them up before I leave.
So I used the sweet image of the two children to join in the tag challenge on Louise's blog here.
The fur on the bottom of the childrens coats has been done by tearing up a white prima flower. Tearing instead of cutting leaves a little furry edge which is very effective.
Hope to be stopping by via the lap-top next week to keep in touch.
See you all again very soon!

Tag Tuesday - banners
My little tag for this week. Always look forward to this challenge, which is here, run by Louise.
I took advantage of a free download of these papers from Vinnie Pierce which can be found here. Found them in the digi section of Two Peas for those interested. I stamped the letters on my banner.
Sorry I haven't been sharing much, I have been so busy that I'm too tired at the moment. I'm praying for inspiration so that I can share something again soon.

Tag Tuesday -- School days
I am not running over with inspiration at the moment and I have lots of Sunday school work to prepare for twenty children, so I haven't been around that much although I have been creating, as I cannot live if I'm not being creative in some way or another!
This is my little tag for Louise's weekly tag challenge. Although the theme's may be hard, it's always great to be challenged to make something out of it. The background stamp which covers the whole tag is called 'A Village' from Hero Arts. It reminds me of the villages here and in Spain. So I guessed that somewhere inside of the Port there would be a school where these girls are headed for!
The two girls stamp is from Artistic Outpost. I also used some rub-ons that Louise sent me ages ago (you remember from your cruise) and the School Days template was from Sue Czozek. Also thanks to Leni from Holland who sent me the little paper butterflies for my birthday - I sponged them with distress ink.
This is another one:
