Cas(E) this Sketch 210

Hello and welcome! Today I am playing along with Case this Sketch #210.

I was trying to come up with something different this time. I flipped the sketch on it's side just be different. I used a valentine stamp set from SU that I had sitting on my desk. I love their pretty papers and matching inks!

Die cuts are from Lil Inker Designs and Sizzix. Stamps and paper from SU!

I love the dog's expression. LOL

Tag You're It Challenge 64

Hello and welcome! Today I am playing along with the Tag You're It Challenge 64. The inspiration tag for this challenge was so inspiring, I made 2 tags! The inspiration tag is just adorable! Take a look:

My first tag, I made with a valentine theme. I seem to be on a valentine's kick this weekend if you look at the previous cards I posted! I drew my inspiration from the tag to use the colors red and white. 

Here is my first tag:

The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp - one of my favorite tag dies I have. The small hearts are a Sizzix die cut. 

Please see my next post for tag # 2

Tag You're It # 63

I am participating in the Tag You're it Challenge # 63. Here is the beautiful inspiration tag:

My inspiration from this tag was to make a round tag with blue as my main color scheme.

Here is my tag:

I used my Sixxiz dies to make the tag. I used a Lil Inker Designs die to make the snow. Stamp is from Memory Box. Background was done using Distress inks in Faded jeans and Salty ocean.

I added lots of glitter to make the snow. Image is colored with colored pencils. It was fun to make a tag that was not a normal tag shape. Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you will stop by again!

Tag you're it challenge #44

Back again - this time with a new tag I created for Tag you're it challenge #44!

I used the umbrella on her tag as inspiration for my tag:

The umbrella and clouds are a die set from Sizzix. The pattern paper is from Echo Park.

The cloud and raindrops are cut from Stardreams paper. Kind of hard to see but it's a shinier paper.
I added stitching around the umbrella and cloud with a fine point marker. The tag die set is from Simon says stamp, build a tag. Love that die set!
