Challenge Favourite for Seaside

Current Challenge

Hi Everyone, a little late in posting the Challenge Favourite for Pinky's theme "Seaside"

As always with choosing a favourite Tag, it is difficult as they are always awesome, so Pinky had a job on her hands.

Congratulations this time to Kym Decker for her gorgeous Seaside Tag.

Be sure to take your badge Kym and link us to your blog.

There is still a week to left for our current Challenge, Michele's theme is "School Days"

The link is at the top of the page.

School Days

  Hello Everyone, hope you are all fine and dandy, seems here in the UK, summer is winding down already, the nights and mornings are darker. Children returning to school after their summer holiday, for many a new start or a change of school. Time just flies by...Christmas will soon be here, lol.

Many thanks to all that entered Pinky's Seaside theme, do check back in a weeks time to see who she has chosen to receive our Badge.

So on to the School Days theme, chosen by Michele, here she is to tell you about it.

"At this time of year most children are returning to school after summer break, if they have not already.

I'm happy to be hosting the "School Days" challenge and I am indulging my nostalgic feelings about returning to school.

While I confess I am perfectly happy not having a little one to get ready for school anymore, I very much enjoyed it when my own child was school aged."

Here are some Tags I have made to get you started.

I have images here from Gecko Galz. Tim Holtz, Arthouse Whimsey, retired Mischief Circus and  random bits from my stash.

I hope you will join in with this theme...Michele

Challenge Favourite for Vintage.

Current Challenge

Hello Everyone, it's time to bring you the challenge favourite for my Vintage theme ( 12th August )

I enjoyed seeing all your tags and to be fair it took a while to chose a winner.

We appreciate everyone who enters our challenges here at Tag Tuesday.

So it's  Chrissy  who is the lucky lady this time around

Congratulations Chrissy, please take your badge and link us to your blog.

Seaside

Hello Everyone, many thanks to all that joined in with my Vintage theme, as always they are all fabulous, which makes it hard to just choose one for the challenge favourite.

To find out who that is, please check back in a weeks time, in the meantime, we have Pinky's theme to play along with, here she is to tell you about it.

Hi, Pinky here. My theme for the next two weeks is the seaside.

I love everything about the seaside and long for a visit

throughout the year! So what better theme for August.

For my first tag I used a stamp set called Circle Sayings

which has a circle with the waves and sunshine.

I then stamped and cut all the shells for the bottom,

added a sentiment and finished with a bow.

For my second tag I used a piece of paper which had a

seaside theme. I stamped the little girl taking a photo along

with the bird and coloured them up to add to my tag.

Hope you get time to join us this fortnight.

New challenge - summer holidays

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our theme is 'summer holidays', and I have the honour of hosting. First of all I would like to thank our lovely Michele, who made such beautiful tags for her fabulous Celestial challenge over the past 2 weeks. And of course, BIG thanks to Sandie, who keeps the blog going and is also updating the blog, which was sorely necessary .

My favourite place to go on holiday in summer is, of course by the sea:

 

Some might prefer to go to the country or to a farm, to enjoy the simple life. I did this once - the toilet was in the middle of a muddy field and had 3 seats, so no one had to venture out alone....Never again!

I love boat trips:

Paris is always worth a holiday visit, and the food is great:

Tags of all sizes and shapes are welcome at Tag Tuesday, so hope to see lots of you joining in! Have fun!

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Challenge Favourite- Travel

 CURRENT CHALLENGE

I must apologise for such a late post regarding my favourite Travel Tag.

I have had a few days away as my elderly aunt is very poorly, she is in her 90's and the last of my older relatives, so I just had to travel to go and see her.

On to my favourite tag for my theme of Travel is Chrissy

Congratulations Chrissy, please take our badge and link us to your blog.

All the entries were pretty amazing and it's always hard to just pick one tag.

Once again, so sorry I am so late posting this.

There is still enough time to play along with our Flower theme. ( link at the top of this page )

Flowers

Time again for another challenge, this time it's Pinky's theme of Flowers.

But before she tells you about it, I want to Thank Everyone that played along with my Travel theme over the last 2wks.

I shall look again at all the entries and try and choose a favourite, which I shall post next week...now I will hand you over to Pinky.

Hi everyone! For my theme I have gone with flowers.

Everywhere is so colourful and pretty at the minute so why not.

For my first tag I stamped a background using a tiny stamp.

I then added the stamped/coloured and die cut

flowers and pot. I stamped the edge of a teapot

to show them being watered and used some pearlized enamel paint

for the water.

For my second tag I repeat stamped and die cut

the little spray of flowers to create enough for

a wreath tag.

I stamped the sentiment, arranged the flowers

and finished with a ribbon and some pearls!

Hope you get time to get your flowers out for a play.

Please link your tag below, have fun everyone xx

This is where we announce the designer's favourite Tag from the challenge they hosted.

 Michele had chosen the theme "CATS" 

After some deliberation, well, there were some amazing entries, so it was difficult to just pick one! Michele finally settled on Wilma's Cat Tag

                                                                                                           → Challenge Favourite

Hi Everybody! 

This fortnight Valerie - that's me - is hosting the challenge here and her theme is

Colours

First of all I would like to thank Michele, who hosted our lovely 'cats' challenge, and Sandie, who has spent a lot of time keeping the blog going and updating it very nicely. I am  not able to do much these days, and very happy that Sandie is keeping it going. As always, our challenges run for 2 weeks, and of course, we want to see tags! 

I have  3 tags to show today:

Feathers are one of my favourite themes. These were stamped and then coloured with water colours- I like to keep to a limited colour palette, but you can enjoy any riot of colours that you like!

Those who know me will recognise my favourite drink! I did some sewing and added lace, which was coloured with coffee. The coffee glass was made with a paper napkin:

Andx a colourful tag with hot colours:

Here's wishing you all lots of fun, and I am looking forwardx to sseeing your 

colourful tags:

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

CATS

Hi Everyone, 

Many thanks to all that played along with Pinky's theme of Birds the last 2 weeks.

We want to give you all a heads up that we have made a couple of changes to our challenge.

If you look across to the right sidebar you will be able to find the next challenge theme. We thought that by doing that you can make your tags in advance.

We are also introducing a new Badge for you.

 As you know everyone involved in Tag Tuesday chooses a theme, at the end of each challenge the designer will choose their  "Challenge Favourite"

So now on to this fortnights challenge, hosted by Michele, here she is to tell you all about it.

"I'm the DT host for the next two weeks and my theme is cats! Even though I do not currently have cat friends at home, I love cats and they also make a fan theme for crafting. I hope you'll join in and have fun with this challenge! "

Images from a variety of sources. Please play along!

Birds

Hello Everyone, it seems everyone enjoyed the Anything Goes theme that we had for the last 2 weeks. We certainly had a lot of gorgeous Tags, so a huge Thank You to all of you that played along. 

For the next 2 weeks we have Pinky hosting with her theme, we hope you will play along.

Hi there, it's my turn Pinky to choose the theme and I would love to see Birds

or anything Bird related on your tags this fortnight.

For my first tag I have gone with a hanging birdhouse.

The birdhouse is die cut with loads of different dies

and then assembled. I stamped the bird and flowers and

layered them up on the front. The sentiment was added

and I finished it off with a little die cut bow.

I did another birdhouse for my second tag.

Again I used the same die set and stamp set

and had great fun assembling it all together.

This time I put the bird inside the house

and a row of little flowers to decorate her home.

Have fun with the theme and do drop by and leave some love on Pinky's blog.xx

Spring flowers

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge here at Tag Tuesday, and dear Valerie is hosting - that's me! Thanks to dear Michele who hosted the last 2 weeks with her theme of Gothic /Gothic arches. My choice for the next 2 weeks is spring flowers, and I think we have plenty of choice just now. Here in Rhineland where I live the flowers are bursting out everywhere, it's great to see their wonderful colours.

I hope to add new tags in the course of the next 2 weeks. I am doing my best, but am still in hospital.

And I hope to see lots of you joining in,

Hugs

Valerie
