But I used my time to do lots of reading, writing and crafting. I am taking part in a postcard challenge, and got my postcards done. I can't show them yet, I want to wait till they reach their destinations. But I had a really sticky, messy and inky time playing with paper, gel, images, gesso, inks and stamps.
A new challenge is starting over at The Cheerful Stamp Pad, this time tags are being asked for. I used a vintage image from *Free Vintage digital stamps* - see link on my sidebar. I made a triptych tag, using some black card from an old calendar for the base, some scrapbook paper from Webster's pages, and added some school embellishments. I made holes in the sides and tied the pieces together with some silk twine. It was fun to make, and is now standing on my printer. The challenge will be running for two weeks, so plenty of time to have a go! You can make a tag, or something to do with tags - like a tag book, for example.
Have a good day you all, thanks for visiting and take care of yourselves!
Good to see you up and about again. I was wondering where you were! Love your pretty tag, great idea!Hugs, Sarah

Can't wait to see the postcards you made! I love your triptych and how her bow is above the edge of the paper! I am a vintage school nut so this one just sings to me! (Sings the ABC's of course!)

Love your set of tags, and so prettily arranged like so too!.. As for your toe, it's just going to take time, and you'll have to be patient as it heals, but I hope it's at least not aching/throbbing otherwise. I imagine if you keep it propped up, shoes off, it feels o.k.?.. Just take good care of you, and hope it's better soon! ~tina
ReplyDeleteI really like your triptych, Valerie. The little girl is such a sweet image.
ReplyDeleteGood to read you've been playing with paper, gel, gesso, inks and stamps - just what the doctor ordered!

Glad you felt good enough to get inky, hope the swelling goes away with the pain. Love your tag, that sweet little girl is so unexpected, flower in hand, with the pencil and blackboard. Perfect! Take care.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like ooey-gooey fun. So sorry to hear that your foot isn't better. But its a good excuse to sit and read a good book. I just love your tag here..
ReplyDeleteHugs~
