Tag..... You're It

Good Morning all!

Sorry this post is a bit late! I'm not sure why but Mr Blogger isn't playing nice today!!!

It's Wednesday again & it's time for another fun challenge over at

 Dude Time Doodles!

It's the third Wednesday of the month,which means it's an 

Inspirational Challenge!

The theme is Tag...You're it!

Yep, we'd like you to make a gift tag!

Here's mine!

I used the image 

Rough Night Rodney

He comes with sentiments too!

Rodney has clearly celebrated his birthday in advance!! lol

It;s my Dad's birthday next week & this will be attached to his pressie

which is more than likely to be something with bubbles in! lol

I coloured Rodney with Promarkers then cut him out with an oval nestie.

I matted him onto a scalloped oval which I embossed using the 

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

The sentiment was done on my pc & I matted it onto some embossed card too.

I added a couple of mosaic gems to finish it off!

Here's the Inspiration photo!

I based my layout on the sketch at 365 Cards

Here's the reverse of my tag!

I used a Sizzix Original Scalloped Tag Die & cut it out twice.

I embossed both sections with the Cuttlebug Swirls 

embossing folder. Then stuck them together.

I added an oval section similar to the one on the front

write on! I finished it off with some Funky Fibres!

Thanks for stopping by to look!

Cute As A Button

Good Morning all,

A very happy Sunday to you!

This week at The Crafty Pad, it's "Team A" who are bringing you 

some inspiration for the challenge this week which is

#166 Bounty Of Buttons

We want to see at least 3 buttons on your project!

Here's my card!

Aha, I see you're saying "That's not a Crafty Pad Designs image!"

"Correct" I say! 

This week we are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps & More

They Kindly supplied the Design Team with some images & are offering a prize 

of 5 Digital Stamps Or 4 Digital Stamps & 1 Paper Pack to the winner 

of this weeks Challenge!

Wowzers!!!

I used the sketch from

I {heart} 2 stamp 

as the basis for my layout!

I changed the shape & flipped it!

This is Cutie Patootie Bear

I printed her onto some linen embossed card, I like the texture of this!

I used my Promarkers  to colour her up & I've 

added a few little buttons including a little button nose!

The papers I've used were a freebie from ages ago

I thought they were perfect with this image.

I lightly distressed the edges with a pair of scissors & some ink.

I then layered them with a contrasting plain coloured  paper.

The sentiment was made on my PC using Cutie Pop font 

which you can get here for free!

I also added some pink ribbon & some more of the heart shaped buttons.

I added a punched border which I inked with pink & blue

I decorated the inside of the card just a little!

I'm so glad you managed to stop by!

Don't forget to check out the challenge blog for some more inspiration

from my Team A Teamies!

I hope you find the time to play too!
