A Snow Tag
Hi everybody, good morning again from Bad Honnef! Had a busy day yesterday with the lots of exams in the morning, and then a little walk through the town in the afternoon, followed by some crafting - yoohoo! I had 3 days where I didn't get sticky and painty, now I feel more normal! I made a tag for the second snow challenge over at Tag Tuesday, this time the theme is snow games. I painted the tag with pearl blue acrylic paint, which has a lovely shimmer, and then made *snowballs* on it using the nozzle of the paint bottle. I heated it to make it *snap, crackle and pop* and the snowballs stand out. I added some lace for curtains, and a window frame, and a snowman from a very ancient Christmas card I dug out. Then I added a row of pearl ribbon for some *ice* on the window ledge, and that was it.
In the evening I worked on my journal pages, and I hope to get them finished today.

What amazes me is that you had a piece of an old lace curtain with you - your car must have been packed to the rafters! Love the little snow man - He's gorgeous! Glad you got some paint, glue and crafty stuff all over you, you have once again become recognizable. :o) Can't wait to see the journal pages. Take care, Valerie .. thinking of you. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteValerie, have you taken a heat gun into the hospital - you'll be setting off the smoke alarms! Love your little snowman tag and I hope you manage some crafty time today. Take care and big hugs, thinking of you. Suze xx

ReplyDeletesuch a pretty little tag!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lot of fun Val. This tag is darn cute.

Take care.

Oh wow.. This is really cute Valerie!.. But WHO'S doing Tag Tuesday now???? I used to participate, but thought the event was over. Is someone else running it now? ~tina
ReplyDeleteOooh, so glad you got an art fix! I bet we'd all love to know what counted as a must-pack on your art supply list!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, catching up and was surprised to read you are in Bad Honnef for some treatment. Prayers and good wishes while you are there. I love the photos you took of the town and really look forward to more of the area.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read how you stuffed your car with crafting supplies. When our group goes on retreat we take everything but the kitchen sink and most goes unused. But you never know what you might need. Your latest journal pages are delightful and I like your happy snowman tag.
Be a creative patient and the nurses will want to join a class or two while you're on location and may just extend your treatments so they can take advantage of your talents.
BIG HUG,
