Tag Tuesday

Hi you all, it's time for Tag Tuesday, and for the third week running I have my tag done on time. But first I want to show a card I made for *The Cheerful Stamp Pad*, where our theme this week is 'In the Garden'. You have 2 weeks to make something and join in! I have used an aperture card, and a LaBlanche stamp to make the garden scene inside. The girl on the front is a freebie from Free vintage digital images. The lovely dragonfly was made by Diane.

Here is the tag for *Tag Tuesday*. I cut a piece of cardboard in tent form, distressed and inked it, and added an image taken from one of my old books, showing a boys camp back in the 1930s. I added some 'tent-flaps' made from cheese cloth, dyed with DI 'ancient linen', and a flag pole with the Union Jack, rather wonky; we would have got into trouble at scout camp for things like that. I never enjoyed camping as a kid, where I went more or less voluntarily (better than staying home!) to camping *holidays* with the scouts or school, and later, as a teacher, often had to take kids camping (Under protest and NOT voluntarily!). I have added a song we used to sing round the campfire, and some tools, made of paper and rolled round a knitting needle to give them some form. The hammer is a little metal charm. Anyone else remember that song?

There's a long, long worm a-crawling

Along the ridge of my tent.

I can hear reveille blowing,

And it's time I went.

There's some cold, cold water waiting

For me to take my morning dip,

And when I return, I'll find that worm

Upon my pillowslip!

And this was another tag I made on Sunday while on my cardboard trip!

I am Linking here to Simon Says  Stamp and Show, 'Anything goes'

Enough for today! Have a great day you all, take care, and thanks for visiting!
