Tag! you're it!

When you're desperate to craft and need to attend a party, what do you do?  You make tags.

I haven't crafted with ms E for quite some time so here's one we both did together.  Simple emboss stamping, and inking over with sponge and distress ink. Plus one stamped and fussy cut flower, we were good to go for a party!

Such a drowsy browsy Sunday!  Probably partially due to the fact that I was mulling over a layout till quite late last night. 

Today's sun is gloriously hot, bright and one of those "I wish I was dipping in the sea" type of day, or better yet with a large pina colada and by the pool side wearing a large floopy hat.
I was working on a challenge from Moments Recorded, set by June on the simple theme of Wings. Me being me, I left it to the really last weekend to get it up as the deadline is 10th March.  I pulled out my favourite photo and here is my bright sunny happy take.  Childhood is so full of promises and I couldn't help but tie it together with God's promises in rainbows.

Inspired by all those drippy gooey crayon art on Pinterest, I thought I'd do my own non melt art version and here's my take on it.

My cam  is still down so this was taken by my iphone 4 (no S).  I brought my Canon to repair and was very sad when Canon told me it'd cost $400 odd to have it repaired and that it was kind of a goner...  looks like I need to buy a new cam.

Any suggestions?

We ♥ Singapore!

National Day is coming on 9 August and it reminded me that I hadn't scrap Ms E's photograph from last year.  So I quickly pulled out a piece of cardstock and sprays, wanting to have some color to remind me of the fireworks that occur every year at the parade.  I wanted to add in ribbon for texture and movement and all the shiny stars that appear in our flag and our songs.

"here are 5 stars arising, out of the stormy sea..."

I adore the October Afternoon paper and thought all that red apple goes very well with my red theme. And all those big small MLS letters just made the title perfect! Majulah (onwards) Singapura (Singapore)!
