It's Tags Now
 
I just love tags!  But I always struggle with making them.  However, I think I lucked out this time.  Lucky for me, other people create wonderful art.  And then they produce it for retail sale so that I can purchase the use of it.  I still struggle with putting it together, it's a process of one step at a time over a few days.  Just to make one tag!

Life Is Good
7gypsies paper, Tim Holtz stamps, unknown stamps.
 
Beautiful
7gypsies paper, woman image from a stamping magazine, Hampton Art alphabet stamps, various other unknown stamps.
 
Back of Beautiful
7gypsies paper, Tim Holtz rubber stamps and other unknown stamps.
 
Dance
7gypsies paper, Tim Holtz Stamp, unknown stamps.
 
And then they came to a screeching halt!  I continued to have some starter ideas, but further inspiration for those eludes me.  They now sit aside waiting for what comes next with them.  It will come...eventually.

    I have all the ingredients to make tags and have attempted a few. Yours are beautiful, so I won't be showing off mine anytime soon. LOL

    Your TAGarts have a unique quality. All four here are so full of interest, especially mine. Have you thought you are doing the same with paper as the great art quilters do with purchased fabric, i.e. using designs from other artists to make a very special design of your own.

    They're just wonderful as they are! I come and go with tags. Well...with everything, but when I get around to making one...I usually work assembly line and crank out a few. So what doesn't work on one...might fit on another. Yep...I'm rambling.

    Annie your tags are wonderful. I can completely understand the need to let them speak to you as to what they need. Some things just need to take a little time. Happy Hearts are Creative Hearts...
