Time for Tags

I love our group of International Artists.  And so pleased that I have been able to meet almost all of them.  I think there are about 5 that I haven't.  But I need to win the lottery to get to England, Belguim and back to the USA. And I need to plan a trip to Gladstone to meet up with the other Australian Member.  

This is a wonderful and exceptional group of ladies.  Love them all and so glad that I can call them all a friend.  

The leader of the pack (whoops, group) Elena, comes up with these totally insane and outrageous ideas that she has seen somewhere.  Decided to email them and they just magically appear somewhere.  Elena, you are the best and Love YA!  So it's all good. 

Anyway, Elena saw this idea for a fabric book (yeah great, I do have a machine!) and to make the tags we are only to use stuff by Tim Holtz. Not a bad idea, but not all of us have a mini Tim store at home.   Elena, being helpful and generous,  sent some of us die cuts from Tim's range, as not all of us had many or any of his dies.  Anyway, at the time I had two.  Tags and the mini gears.  Over the past three weeks, I havel slowly bought more, but mainly the movers and shapers. 

Here are the tags that I have done so far.  I have made 5 and the are all virtually the same.  The only difference is the muse token at the top.  Four are heading off to either the USA or Australia.  I have kept the test tag.  

I have loved this project.  Hopefully later this year I will be able to get mine all assembled.

Anyway here are my tags.  These three will be heading to Elena, Eileen and Marita.

Another Marie Page

Sometime back in 2010, I was crazy enough to sign up for a journal based on just Marie Antoinette.   At the time I wasn't sure I could do this.   But now after 18 months, I know that I should NOT have done this.  It has however gotten me out of my comfort zone.   I have tried new technique's, new products (to me anyway).   And after quite a few emails asking where are the pages, I finally completed these pages for Sue in Illinios.  As Sue is a retired French Madame (Teacher), I found this a little hard to do.  But after soaking off the wine label from my empty bottle and finding the Eifel Tower at a scrap store in Burleigh, I finally had some direction.

Here are my pages for Sue.  They are currently in transit to Sue and I hope they will be there soon.
