My Creative Altered Tag~SPRING & ART LIFE!

Hello and welcome!

Today I going to share several versions of 

a tag I finally got around to complete.

I have seen so many beautiful altered tags, I thought I 

have got to try it.

I created the first one for the creative tag group on

Sketches4All.

The theme of course is

"SPRING."  

Here is my take:

I started by inking the center tag with several color.

Followed by using a texture medium brick wall.

I added lace around the bottom and began

loading the embellishments on.

I created spiral roses and added those followed

by dusty attic flourishes and buttons.

More Views:

Finally, I added a small card with a stamp;

"FOR YOU."

The finished project was a

shabby chic, distressed altered spring tag.

 ********

This next tag, I smply changed the title

and added text about

"ART".

Scrap/Craft Art Life is all about:

The Case

 

 

My Layout Take

Title~My Mom

  Vintage Style

Picture Close View

This is my mom during her younger years.

Journal With Close View

The journal is hidden behind the picture.

 The Journal reads:

My mother was the first twin born in 1924

within the Johnson family in Pennsylvania.

From that time on Martha grew into this beautiful

young woman. She always dressed so pretty,

very gracious, quiet, and giving. Down through the

years, my mom continued to be a lady with a

beautiful persona. She had nothing but friends,

not one enemy. Everyone loved Ms. Martha and

could always keep a secret. She married my dad

and had 1 child; me. My mom taught me act like

a lady, keep a clean home, and care for others.

She continued being this perfect lady until poor

health took over. Everyone loved Ms. Martha.

I took loving care of my mom until she made

the transition to heaven in 2002. Even today

I have characteristics like Ms. Martha. I shall

never forget and always cherish my mom with

memories and love. Until we meet again,

love you momma.         2012
