Feelin 'Tagged Out'

Lot's of pictures but not a lot of writing tonight as I'm 'tagged out'. It has been great following Tim's tags and I've done fairly well. I still have 2 to make and will hopefully do them tomoorrow. I am way behind with Josh's book due to running ou t of ink for doing the photo's on my printer but HO HO, woop's I mean Hey Ho!!!!!!!!



Firstly my gorgeous little man, Josh.



And again here with a card and birthday pressie for me yesterday morning.



And this is my pressie from Paul. I will certainly be booking on to a class now as I haven't a clue what to do with it. Luckily my sister has put my name down as the class is already full!


The image above is of a hand made stamp I made ages ago and never thought I'd use. Then came one of Tim's tags with a reindeer on, so it came in handy.


Here's the tree from the metal tag. It looks so different to the full tag here. but then it has been dark again. Below is the full tag.
The close up below shows the 'world' under the reindeer. The colours on all of this post are poor due to insufficint light, sorry.



And here's the full tag. I wanted the music sheet at the back to look like a map outline and it worked reasonably well.

Finally my tag inspired by the one using vellum and a reindeer. It is much darker than on here.



Gotta go before I fall asleep.......

Such lovely work you do! How did you make the stamp...is it carved rubber? Your little Josh is growing so quickly! :)

I happened upon your blog by chance and I have to say how inspiring I think it is! Your "Tim" tags are so unique and just gorgeous. I love your advent calendars too, what a labor of love, they are beautiful and will surely be treasured.
Blessings to you!

Absolutely gorgeous tags Sue, I'm on serious catch up on the journal your Christmas front - had to do six entries yesterday - I think the statement short and sweet come to mind! Hope you enjoy doing the last two!

Sue, love your take on the tags. They all look fab.

Wow, isn't Josh getting a big boy now! Your story about him falling into the tree made me laugh.

Love love love your advent calendars. I'd love to do a couple for my two next year.
