New Tags for Spring!

I am putting together a few new designs for the Spring Tag line.
The darker tags are 100% recycled material.
Each is hand distressed and inked. Stamped and strung.

Each is a set of four.

I will be sending this set off to Art Partners, Inc in Clarksville this week. Muse, next week.

Also, The paper fabric bookmark workshop class is going to be through the Muse (Frederick, MD) on Wed. April 13th from 7-9pm. I have taken several classes in the past and they have all been such fun!
You can sign up for this and other classes at www.shopthemuse.com! I'm so excited to be teaching my first class with the Muse!

Tomorrow the gals are coming over for a fun art day! I will be making Valentines! (for Abby's class).
I hope you are staying warm this week. It is really cold here lately... the heat just doesn't turn off! Hoping for spring soon...
See you later in the week!

New Christmas Tags!

The holidays are fast upon us! Just two weeks til Thanksgiving.. and Christmas is not far behind! This time of year always feels like a rush... but this year I am committed to enjoying the process. The cooking, gift making and giving, taking in the meaning of the season and all the rest... I will vow to immerse myself into the spirit! (please gently remind me if things start to look crazy around here...)

This week I have started my holiday gift tags. All these tags are upcycled from 100% recycled file folders. So far I have two designs going up on etsy this week and following soon after at the stores. Each set of 4 is $4.50.

These tags are distressed and distressed some more using Tim Holtz Stamps and inks And finished with a shimmery glitter spray!





And these vintage style french tags have lacy beading and a jewel brad.

I will be making more of these tomorrow and later this week will probably be spent making more holiday cards!
Hope you are having a great week! see you soon!

Some Distressed Tags to Share!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Last week went by in a flash! The first week of school was a huge success for the kids and it was so exciting to see them so happy and enthusiastic! Only a few little confusions... and a bit of exhaustion... so far so good!

I also had a great week. My friends and i got together for our annual planner making day(s).
We had a great time laughing, talking, eating and creating!





Moving forward to this week... I started off the day with TAGS! Distressed tags made from 100% recycled material. These will be at the Muse by Fri.

I'd love to hear what types of tag styles interest you? Vintage French?, Mod?, Cute?...or something else? Let me know what you think!

I'm on a schedule for the rest of the week which will include calendars and more tags.

Hope you are having a great start to the week! See you soon!

TGIF!

Well... this has certainly been a challenging week. Thank goodness it's FRIDAY!

With the weekend will come some "feels like spring" weather! upper 50's and sunny - YEA~!

Something to do this weekend:
check out the FCPS All-County Student Art Exhibit at the Delaplaine.
Emily has an exhibit on display there... can't wait to see it. It is open to the public until the 28th and it's FREE!
Here's more info.

Something interesting to look discover:
Stacie has a step by step look at her jewelry making process on her blog now! click here! It's really impressive to see how much time and effort goes into each and every piece of jewelry regardless of size and shape!

and last but not least- Something I made today:
It's a bookmark made as a wedding favor. I really enjoyed making this. It reminded me how important works of the heart really are. Something that can be cherished and used as a reminder of something so special!
