A little bit of fun and funky today, with a new challenge from Gingersnap Creations:
Bags and Tags. Our overall theme this month is "At the Mall", and we've also been doing some recycling/repurposing, so for my bag and tag I recycled from our latest mall trip. I took a small square-ish bag from American Eagle and covered it with images from
Altered Pages' Fashion Ladies collage sheet. I printed out the sheet twice on regular paper, cut apart the vintage sewing pattern images, and inked them up with distress inks. Then I collaged them onto the bag, along with some of the fashion phrases from the sheet. The tag is also from an item of clothing (one of my daughter's - her clothes have the best tags!), on top of which I added a fashion lady image from The Artistic Stamper's
Twenties' Ladies Plate 4. A sentiment from CHF and a little bling, and you have a gift bag for a tweenie girl!
We're at the beach this week, so this is probably it for my crafty postings for a while. I'm hoping to have lots of time to visit all of your gorgeous blogs! :) Until next time....
