Christmas Colors in July! Finally Another Tuesday Tag....

It's been weeks since I've had either the inspiration or the opportunity to play with the  Tag Tuesday Challenge. Finally I found a little of each and completed a tag. I tried to incorporate each of the themes that I've missed in the last few weeks so I've got faces, hearts and a fun summer photo to go with my red and green color scheme.

I spent hours yesterday organizing my studio space. I went through all of my scraps and bits of this and that so I would be able to use them. When I saw the theme for this week, I got out the scrap bin and pulled out everything that was red or green. The black and white vintage photo was printed out in green months ago and never used. It is a picture of my hubby's aunt and uncle in a cart pulled by a goat. It was taken in 1929. I added some scrap paper to an alcohol inked background panel. I gold embossed the flourish stamp. The little heart was a scrap and the leaves were punched out of scrap paper as well. (Thanks for the inspiration, Jacqueline!)

Jude 20 & 21 ~ "But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way you will keep yourselves safe in God's love."
blessings to you!
