Hi Everybody!
Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time the lovely Valerie is hosting - that's me! My theme is travel - any tags to do with travel are welcome - vehicles, boats. planes, busses, trains, places where you would like to be etc. I have three tags to start off my challenge:
London - my birth place and my favourite place on earth. I was born more or less where the left hand of the marching guardsman is:
It's aways fun to travel to new places in good company:
And Paris is perhaps my 2nd favourite place on earth, whatever the season:
Our challenge runs for 2 weeks, and I am looking forward to seeing your ideas for my travel theme!
Thanks to Michele, for hosting our last challenge, and to all who made wonderful hat tags and linked to us!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Valerie
Great tags Valerie, I love London too had some great times there, not so Paris sadly.
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't enjoy Paris, but glad you love London, it is a town like no other!
DeleteLovely travel pieces for your theme!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, happy Tuesday!
DeleteHi Val, good morning 🌅. The sun is shining here. Love your beautiful tags. As we both come from London it must be the best place on earth 🌍. Have a great day, hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you're right there! Hugs!
DeleteWell I did tour the Tower of London and Jack the Ripper Museum, so I've been close to your birthplace! Was it a hospital or at home birth? Love your tags, I need to think about some summer travel themes. Hope you are feeling better! XOX
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you were indeed close! It was a home birth, my aunts acted as midwives and delvered me, that was quite normal back then! I'm still very tired and a new medication is making me itch, not nice! Have a great day!
DeleteHi Val, we're back from our little break. It was nice to see my famil again. Love your newest pages, really great, as they always are. Have a great day, keep as well as possibe, hugs, Martha
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, glad you got to visit everybody again!
DeleteGreat post 😊 Have a nice day 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks Martyna! You have a nice day, too!
DeleteBoth London and Paris are on my "bucket list." Beautiful tags, all of them.
ReplyDeleteToday I have going shopping on my 'bucket list'!!
DeleteLove the tags Valerie and the London theme. Sorry its been a long while since I called in, my hands are not so cooperative these days and it takes me quite a wile to even type in a message. Hope you are well.

Thanks Yvonne, sorry to hear it. I know how hard that makes everything!
DeleteNot to be too pedantic here, Valerie, but the plural of bus is buses. Busses indicates kissing and that is very agreeable too, and I am quite sure that many people buss on buses. If Donald Trump happens to be a passenger he will do it whether you want it or not! Of course, you have to be his type, and then he will swear he never met you. As host of this travel-themed week I shall expect great things from you. The last time I was in London I have to say it was not an especially agreeable experience. Everything was incredibly expensive, ridiculously so in fact, it was so crowded in places you could barely move and they had scared off the pigeons in Trafalgar Square. How heinous is that? I have not visited Paris in so many years I don't feel qualified to comment, but the strikers are slowly burning it down anyway. In general, if I never saw a city again - any city, anywhere - it would be too soon! Give me a green meadow, a leafy forest or a serene shoreline any day. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteTowns everwhere these days are crowded, extravagant, luxurious and very exensive, not for normal people any more. As Boris Johnson said, 'If peole can't afford to live in London anymore they should go somewhere else'! I mostly stay in my corner of the world these days, I love this tiny town with the Rhine, fields, horses, farm animals, flowers and room to breathe. But I woud like to go to London once again if I can manage it. And of course, I only wrote BUSSES to see if you woud notice it! Have a great day, take care, hugs xxxxx
DeleteHi Valerie, I had no idea you were born over here. I recognise some of those Tim Holtz stamps you used and now I'm feeling guilty again as they have not seen the light of day for ages. I've been to both those places but not for some time though Covid hasn't helped. Off to see my mum today. Wishing you a very happy creative week. Hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteYes, I come from London and studied in Lincoln and then Nottingham. And I taught in Lincoln and then Scunthorpe! I am slowly finding some of my stamps again and trying to use them! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteThat's really interesting Valerie. Where did you teach in Lincoln? I look forward to seeing how you use the stamps. Hugs, Angela xXx
DeleteLove your bold awesome travel tags.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday
Much💖love
Thanks Gillena, big hugs!
DeleteLovely tags. They would make very cool luggage/stickers. People don't seem to do that any more. Put stickers of the places they have visited on their luggage.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Back in the 60s we always put those stickers on our cases. Today people send pics with WhatsApp to show where they've been!
DeleteI am never disappointed. Great tags. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Thanks Jim, hugs!
DeleteI see the British mysteries and imagine myself living in London. I'm afraid it's far beyond my financial reach especially given how real estate there is now, but my imagination is good ;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I could never afford to live in London again!
DeleteThanks Jeanie, have a great day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGrat job👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💐lovely cards
ReplyDeleteHappy day

DeleteHi Val, good morning! How are you feeling today? Don't do too much! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteI feel more of less okay, my home help is coming and he will be doing the work! Hugs!
Deletei love those travel arts:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy:)
DeleteI love London, too. I spent 2 weeks there in November 1969. Would love to return, but how can I with my mobility issues? Alas.
ReplyDeleteYes, life doesn't get easier!
DeleteYour tags are wonderful, even though I've never been out of the US to visit these great places. I love the child snapping photos in the London tag - how cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. That child is like me back when, I always had camera hanging round my neck!
DeleteSuch beautiful tags! Loving all your designs, especially the Parisian one with the spring blossoms - beautiful 😊. I hope you are keeping well. Take care and happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, have a great day 😊
Deletewhat beautiful tags! You've really captured the essence of London in your tag! and your Parisian tags are beautiful with their Springtime blossom. I can almost smell those croissants! Enjoy the rest of your week Michelle x
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wish I had croissants 🥐🥐 here right now!
DeleteI am with you on Paris being a favourite place. Especially in spring time. I always think Paris is one of the most romantic places to visit. That is a lovely tag you have made to share with us your love of the city.
ReplyDeleteI think, although London would not be my first choice, that the tag you made is my favourite. It is so full of life and energy and I love the little child you have included. Such a fabulous post Valerie, glad you chose such a great theme.
Hugs, Neet xx
I love London and Paris, but London is my town! Hugs!
DeleteFabulous Tags Valerie. So lovely to have you back. Hope you are keeping well.xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra. I'm trying to get more done now! hugs!
DeleteYour travel tags are great, Valerie! I didn't realize that you were born in London. I was under the impression that you were German. I love London, too, and Paris any time of the year. The people in both cities have been welcoming and warm to me. I'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite city, but it might be Florence. You chose an excellent topic for Tag Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I like the theme because I love seeing what others make of it! Hugs!
DeleteYour tags are absolutely brilliant Valerie!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pinky! Hugs!
