Add a Postage Stamp

 My goodness, this last 2 weeks has just flown by hasn't it, although the weather hasn't really started getting warmer yet, the spring bulbs are almost ready  to bloom. I've noticed the birds are starting to collect their  nesting materials, flitting about with small twigs, leaves and other birds fathers in their beaks, quite lovely to watch.

For the next 2 weeks I am hosting the challenge at Tag Tuesday and my chosen theme is "Add a Postage Stamp"





Here are my Tags, I hope they will inspire you to join us at Tag Tuesday.

Doorways at SPA

Michele is the hostess this week over at Sunday Postcard Art. Her theme is Doorways.

As soon as I saw the theme, I just couldn't resist using this old and barely used stamp, it's one of those images that draw you straight to the Doorway and makes you smile, well I hope it does.

I coloured the image using watercolour pencils.

New Beginnings Tag

 I've been a tad slack recently in crafting and blogging, kind of lost my mojo a bit to be honest.

I didn't want to let the team down at Tag Tuesday so made my Tag for Valerie's theme. So lovely to see her back on board.

As the title of this post says "New Beginnings" so I rummaged through a stack of free stamps given to me by my friend, she gets so many via her magazines, I never say no to them and they are quite handy to keep to one side.

Here's my Tag


Breathing in the future and breathing out the past...washing away the old year, lets hope this year will be kind to us all.

 Happy 2025 Everyone xx

Winter Holidays

 In support of Michele's theme over at Tag Tuesday I have created a Tag with a stamped image of what would be my Winter Holiday.

I love the snow, I quite like the winter, providing it's not raining or blowing a gale.



A beautiful log cabin, with an open fire, scented candles and wooden panelled walls. Far away from shops and traffic, what's not to like.

A Scandi Christmas at SPA

 My postcard for Aimeslee's theme over at Sunday Postcard Art

I  had a set of stamps,once again given to me, I never turn stamps away, you never know when they will come in useful, just as this set has.

I stamped several Scandie images, originally to make it look like a hanging ornament, but I didn't like it, so created another postcard!



The postcard I kept white, using red archival ink for the images, inked the edges of the postcard then added 2 wooden buttons.

Sorry for the greyish colour, I took several photos, but the lighting in dull weather isn't good.

Thank you to all that drop by..xx

Oh Christmas Tree

 Just popping in to share my last Tag for Pinky's Christmas theme over at Tag Tuesday

This time I have used water colour card and some Twinkling H2o's to create a Christmas tree.


I just love how the colours merged in to one another and the shimmer they give.

I was undecided regarding the speckles, but then thought the tag just needed that something extra, so flicked the paint in each colour over the whole tag.

Coming to the end now of Pinkys challenge, so if you want to join in with this theme, you have until monday midnight to add your tag.

The challenge is here Tag Tuesday

Another Gift Tag

 Morning, I'm back again with another Christmas Tag, following Pinky's theme over at Tag Tuesday 

This time I have used a stamp from a set by Artistic Outpost, I really can't think how long I have had it, it's certainly years old.The fir cone and sentiment are from random stamps in my stash.



There are still a few days left if you want to play along with Pinky's Christmas theme, any medium welcome, but your entry must be a Tag.

Christmas at Tag Tuesday

 Our lovely Pinky is hosting her theme over at Tag Tuesday.

She has chosen Christmas as her theme, so we hope to see lots of entries.

Any medium is acceptable, but it has to be a tag.

I have made a few tags and will post them over the next few days.

Here is my first Tag...


 I added stickles to the berries to give them a bit of sparkle, but it really didn't show up to well.


Do pop along and join us if you can, always lovely to see new faces.
