Perfect Gift , Christmas Tickets Bottle Tags TMC4U, Nov2019

Dec 1 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Wow, has 2019 flown by! Just seemed like it was January last week! I have a very fun project to share today, it would be the perfect gift for just about anyone! I whipped up 6 bottle tags using Tayor Made Cards 4 U, adorable set of Christmas Tickets.

I have a handful of  friends that get together often for what we call our Wine-Whine Club! LOL. It is late November that we have our holiday celebration where we all bring our usual bottle of wine to enjoy while we whine, and a extra bottle ,that we play the steal a gift that might be better game.This year I created 6 bottle tags, put one on game bottle and enclosed the other 5 tags in my very fancy gift wrapped box. I am not sure how well the winner will enjoy the wine, however, she loved the  bottle tags.

Thank for visiting and as always I ejoy your kind comments.

Unique Vintage Halloween Tag Flip TMC4U 0ct 2019

October 15 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with Taylor Made Cards 4U, using the Passport To Halloween. which can be found here: Halloween Passport Kit

BOO!

Halloween is one my favorites to celebrate! Could be my family history, with tales of my maternal Great Grandmother's "gift" of being a clairvoyant! I believe my great grandmother had this gift and a few others. I was 12 when she passed. When we girls went to clean out her home, which was a apartment at the Portage Hotel, downtown, Akron Ohio, as she was the live in interior decorator!! As we were packing up her things, my sister and myself were allowed to pick a few items of hers, for us to cherish. I chose her "cards" that she played with us often, which later in life, I learned were children's tarot cards from Vienna! After I raised my family, and retired, I began to look into my background, and have discovered much information not only about her tarot cards, but her life, which was very colorful! I also discovered, I am a lot like her, according, too mother and have inherited many of her gifts and talent, for which that I am very thankful. In memory of Violet Shrum, I created this Tag Flip, check it out.

I began my project by first creating all the tags I wanted to use out of 110 # card stock. I love a sturdy project!  I then cover the tags with the pattern paper from the kit. I inked all tag edges using TH Distress Ink in Walnut Stain and then set aside.

I then sorted through all of the great bits and pieces of ephemera that are included in the kit. I fussy cut them out, and the inked all edges. I then gathered a few items I had in my stash, such as the little bottle, a few die cut pieces from past projects, and maybe a fabric tag or two, the bugs, a flower, etc, I was now ready to assemble all my tags.

What is your favorite time of year to celebrate!!

Taylormadecards4u Teacher Tag Staff Banner Sept 1 2019

Welcome back friends,

Our break is over with Taylormadecards4u and I am excited to get back to work with the rest of the inspirational team!

School has started in my neck of the woods and I have a grandson in Kindergarten! and my youngest grandson will be starting preschool after Labor Day. These last couple weeks have been busy for this Grandma, getting the oldest to and from school , talking about his day with such excitement and a little hint of worry of the unknown. I remember my school days very vividly, I remember favorite teachers, staff, and some not so favorite, teachers, staff, which I have used for my inspiration for my project.

I used the Add On Kit - Teachers Tags which can be found here:Vintage Teacher Tags

I decided to create a Staff Banner. I can remember studying a banner like this at my grade school. The photos on my staff banner has been changed to protect the innocent!

After inking all edges on the tags, with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain, and punching a hole for the ribbon, I then backed my tags with beige card stock, I computer generated my staff names and their titles, which are real names of my teachers and staff that I liked and some I didn't, I let you decide which is which!

I happen to have a set of Tim Holtz Framed Photographs, that I used for my staff photos. I inked all edges again and adhered to the back of each tag, with names and titles.

I had a wonderful walk down memory lane and revisited my first days of school as a grade school student. I was reminded that although those days where met with mixed reactions, same as for my grandson, I thrived and survived !
