12 Tags of 2015 - June

Hi everyone

Hope you are having a fabulous summer.  I am catching up with one of my tags today!  This is my long overdue June tag.

I love the technique Tim showed us using a stripes stencil to create a tartan background.  I use paint to create mine.  Then I had an idea to combine a quote with a cute and very arty bird house.

As usual I made my smaller sampler piece.  Can you believe we are now two thirds of the way through the year?!  Time flies when you are making art - and that give me an idea for another tag!

I was hoping to catch up with my July tag too this month - might be able to squeeze it in before Tim publishes his September tag!!!

I hope you enjoy watching this video which sees me make the creative journey from Tim's inspiration to my interpretation.

Hope you summer is filled with fun and sunshine.  Thank you for popping by x

Hi everyone

Today I am sharing my May tag and as you can see I had fun with a red, white and blue theme!  Well I suppose strictly speaking it is red, cream and blue ;-)

Tim used a heritage photo on his tag with burlap and tiny tattered flowers.  I chose to use denim and a photo of my two lovely boys and made teeny tiny pom pom flowers which looked fab and added great texture to my tag.

I also made my usual sampler square ready for framing at the end of the year.  Can you believe next month we are half way through already!!!

Please check out the video where you can see all the fun I had getting from Tim's inspiration to my interpretation.  I hope you are inspired to join in with this fun challenge or at least follow this link to check out the huge variety of tags this challenge inspires!

I wonder what June's tag will bring - I hope it has sunny warm weather attached ;-)  Hope you are having a fun weekend.  I am off to crop with my friends today so much chatting and coffee with cake for me!!!!  Maybe the odd scrapbook page too ha ha!
