More tags

I finished two more so I thought I would add them on. Above is another variation of the first one I posted. I think I like it better.

I really like this one. The background is from Vintage Catnip. The link is to the right. Her site is beautiful. She offers great images and you can check out some of the things she makes. She is truly talented. The cherubs with the letters are from Marie's Freebies. She doesn't have the entire alphabet, which is so sad. Luckily she had an M and a heart which I substituted for the O, which she does not have. I changed the lacey background from black to a teal color, printed it on a distressed brown-ish card stock, and wrapped it all in a sheer pink ribbon. I printed the cherub letters on a plain cardstock and modge podged a layer of polyester glitter over them. After they dried I distressed them, put some holes in the corners and strung them with twine. I added a pink bead at the top.

Make'n tags

It's Saturday. A pretty nice day, all things considered. I am working on some cards. Gift tags really, but my intention for them is that they would be more like cards. I was off to a slow start because my printer was acting up. I'm still not sure what was wrong with it, but it is finally working, so here is the one tag I actually have completed:

The adorable image is from Marie's Freebies at http://mariesfreebies.blogspot.com/. Check out her site. I especially love the images she has of children. Really cute.

Jars, jars, and more jars

I finally finished some jars I have been working on for a craft show. I wanted to share a few of my favorites.
I think all the images came from the Graphics Fairy. Her link is to the right. If you haven't been to her site, please go. I can't tell you how great her site is. It is loaded with beautiful vintage images.

I didn't even alter this image. It is so perfect just as it is.

This label is so hard to see on the jar, so here it is flat. It was a cigar box label. I think the above jars would be cute filled with candy or seasonal items, or would make nice gift boxes.

This was a brown jar from a second hand store. I covered it with glitter, then distressed the finish.

From the photo it was hard to see the bird ghosted behind the poem, so here is a better look at just the label. The image of the bird and the background are from the Graphics Fairy. Below is what the background looked like before Photoshop.

I would like to finish by thanking the Graphics Fairy for her site. Funny how my favorite jars are the ones using her images....

Darling Dress

I guess the Irish mood still hasn't hit me. I spent the day working on some crafts for a show I have coming up in 46 days. I'm ill prepared to say the least. While I waited for glue to dry I opened up Illustrator and Photoshop and "doodled" this cute little dress. Hope it comes in handy.

Brain full of bunnies

I know, I know, it's March and my thoughts should probably be on shamrocks but I have cute, fluffy bunnies on the brain. This is a gif I made in Illustrator. I hope someone finds a use for him. He is too cute to go without a home.
