T stands for Tag Tuesday and More

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at


My lovely friend Chrissie is hosting, and has chosen the theme of

💗My 💚favourite 💛colour 💙combination.💜

You are free to pick the colour and style you like,
just show us your faves. You can enter as often as you like,
and tags of all formats are allowed.
so hope to see your colourful tags there.
And Chrissie is offering a great prize, so pop on over to our blog
when the challenge starts and learn all about it!

I made a chunky tag  made from wood which Sandie sent me 
some time back. Aqua and white, accompanied by some glitter,
is one of my fave summer colour combos.
I  painted the tag with gesso, pressed the molded
rose into the wet paint, and gave it a coat of hologram
varnish when it was dry. The feathers were also coloured
with some peacock feather distress oxide ink.





At Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday some of us did an
ATC swap last week for the fourth anniversary. I made this
set of 4 ATCs with a holder for Bleubeard and Elizabeth, and
as it has already arrived I can show it now. I used lots of sewing
again. And I would like to welcome all of the nice ladies of
the T gang:








I am linking to Simon Monday challenge, you've got the edge - sewn edges.

I baked a nut and vanilla cream cake at the weekend, and
there's plenty for everybody, so grab your forks
and help yourselves!




My drink was, as always, coffee, and here some photos of the
Market Square:





And some photos of my corner of the world:





On Saturday evening the farmer baled the hay on the field
behind the house, I took these photos from my balcony. It was
fun to watch!



Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  8. The ATCs are so purr-ty and purr-fect for Bluebeard and Elizabeth ...Ha ha (sorry I just couldn't resist 😀). They are so much fun and I love how you designed them with the tea cups and tea pots and little kitty cats along with their very own folder - amazing! Your tag is full of sparkle and I enjoyed seeing your colourful photos of the market place and your corner of the world 😀. Happy T Day! J 😊

  9. A great post Valerie. The tag. with sparkles and materials you used looks gorgeous.
    The ATC's looked awesome, I'm sure Elizabeth and Bleubeard loved them.
    I've just helped myself to a piece of the delicious cake [Well I wish I could].
    The photos were all lovely, the sun and warm weather make them all seem so welcoming and a great place to be.
    Happy T day.

  10. The tags are so beautiful like something from a fairy world. The ATCs are simply adorable. Just purrfect. =^..^= Looks like the cake turned out great. Glad I brought my fork with me. So much color in your corner of the world. Is that your house with the turret and the blue roof? I love it! Your tag will be going out in the mail tomorrow. Have a Happy T Day

  12. Your tag is beautiful. I adore the sparkle of the molded rose and the feathers. This is a beautiful tag and perfect summertime beach colors.

    I had no idea you were going to show the ATCs I received. Now I won't have to show each one individually next week. Bleubeard even let Squiggles pick one. Of course he wanted the one with the cups! Personally, I love them all, as well as the holder they came in. You are too kind.

    I think "goaded" may be too strong a word, but "challenged" me you did. And now I must make amends. It could be after the 1st of August before I get the package to you, since what I had planned to send just pales in comparison to what you gifted me with. Thanks again for the beautiful package filled to the brim with goodies.

    I'm surprised your weekend guests didn't eat all the cake, but it looks delicious. So do the photos from the Market Square and the various cups of coffee I see others drinking, too.

    Thanks again for the wonderful pieces you sent, and so glad you shared these, along with your tag, your photos of the day, and your cake and coffee with us for T this soon-to-be Tuesday.

  13. Thank you for the cake! :)

    Your tag is gorgeous, and the colors remind me of peacocks, since there are blue/green peacocks and also white peacocks.

    You had a good idea to make an ATC set with its own little pocket folder. And the cat motifs are perfect for dear Elizabeth and Bleubeard.

    Happy T Day!

  15. I love seeing your corner of the world. It looks like a very interesting place to live. I feel like I have lots of nature around my home but not much else. (Not that nature is bad). And I love your tag-you like a little sparkle too I think. And the cats for Elizabeth are VERY cute and VERY clever. What a great idea. Send me a piece of that cake too please. It looks way to yummy to just be a photo. :) Happy T day. Hugs-Erika

  19. What a lovely tag Valerie! Turquoise is my favorite colour.
    The ATCs are adorable! I like the idea of the holder. It makes the cats look so cute with their heads sticking out.
    I love seeing photos of where you live. The market is as always very colourful and full of photo opportunities.
    Beautiful flowers and great to see the farmer baling hay. I always love seeing that bale pop out of the back (Or poop lol)
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

  26. Valerie, your ATCs with matching folders are outstanding! How did you ever come up with four variations of cats and tea things for the occasion? I bet Bleubeard and Elizabeth are pleased as punch!

    Thank you for the nut and vanilla cream cake. Yum!

    Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen
