January Tag Along Tutorial

It's a new year and time for some new projects so I'm joining Elizabeth at Bluebird Papercrafts for her year long Happy Homemaker Tag Along.  Being the Happy Homemaker that I am my theme for the year will be "Twelve Months of Celebrations".  Rather than using the little known holiday…New Years Day…I went with the ever popular Hot Tea Month!  At the end of the year we will keep one set of tags and trade one set with a partner.  Elizabeth has asked us to give a little insight into what we used and how we created our tags.  Of course what is a tag without a little PINK so I'm also linking to Beverly's Pink Saturday.  So without further ado….here's my tutorial.  I'm sure I left out some steps.  The Brown Eyed Girl image was available a long time ago on someone's blog and I couldn't find it :(  The other images are available on Flickr.  If you want a really good tutorial then go to Elizabeth's blog – she is a master paper artist and has wonderful tutorials.  Don't click on the arrow just on the picture and you can go to YouTube and click to watch full screen…you are dying to see this HUGE aren't you???

I'm linking to Beverly's Pink Saturday and   Bluebird Papercrafts.

Have a wonderful, creative weekend. xoxo Nancy

  4. Hi- stopping by to see what kind of tags you'll be making for the swap and hopefully learn some new stuff, too! Tell me about Flickr - you have to sign up/register to be able to print or share pics from it?

  5. Happy Pink Saturday Nancy Sweetie...
    Oh my gosh what a beautiful tutorial. You are SO awesome. Where have you been hiding? You need to be behind that camera more often and share your lens. I love this brown eyed girl and would she ever be gorgeous on a Valentine? Oh be still my little heart. You added cherries. I love cherries, as I have them all over in the dining room and kitchen. Love the red. So pretty.

    I have to tell you sweet friend, you have inspired me to give a tag a try. Oh that would be a great title. Give a Tag a Try. Love it.

    Have a beautiful weekend sweetie, and a gorgeous share today. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

  10. I LOVED YOUR TUTUORIAL!!!! Yes, I just yelled that! You're not only a great tag maker but also a great video maker. I laughed out loud about the dogs eating the pop dots!

    My tag is up too, but my post is plain and dowdy compared to yours.
