Finally Finished my Tag #33

Well I actually finished the tag this morning, then I took some pictures and edited them. Then, as I was getting ready to post, my internet went down. Arggggggh! There that feels much better.

The challenge at Kard Krazy this week is Polka Dots and Stripes. How wonderful since my new favorite Hero Arts stamp is the Cling Dots CG139. I made a Double Decker tag. I stamped the Dots using white pigment ink on the smaller tag and the Stripes (an old Hot Potatoes stamp) on the larger tag. I clear embossed both. I used Worn Lipstick Distress Ink on the Dots and Scattered Straw for the Stripes. The Bible verse is computer-generated. Then I added some embellies to follow the theme.

Check out the amazing blog candy from the wonderful, and of so talented Kathy. Her blog The Daily Marker has a constant parade of her gorgeous cards.


I got some really great news today, I'm going to CHA for the first time. As part of my efforts with my local stamp store "Stamp Fever" they invited me to join them for the workshops and seminars; not to mention the miles and miles of craft, stamp and scrap goodness! I'm signed up for one of the Hero Arts workshops, I can't wait!!
 Thought for the Day: Proverbs 16:24 "Kind words are like honey~ sweet to the soul and healthy for the body."  Do you remember the movie Bambi? Thumper the rabbit quotes his mother as saying "if you can't say something nice, don't say nuthin' at all".  Well, I have found a whole inter-web full of people who can always say something nice. I am so thankful for the wonderful blog buddies I have met this past year, your kindness has overwhelmed me.
Thank you all so much!
Blessings to you,
Nancy

    Beautiful tag! Thanks for your thought of the day! It was "working" on me all day long as it was one of those hard days and I wasn't able to say one nice thing to my kids... Thanks for inspiration!
