This was a very simple and easy tag to create. Either that, or I'm getting better! LOL! Doubt it, still have lots to learn. Working on a new blog background for Valentine's Day, which is not as easy as it looks.  Thankfully, its making me remember HTML and CSS...things I totally forgot since I gave up my website years ago.  Its a challenge, but I relish it and even the frustration of trying to get it all to come together makes it worthwhile.  Its a time eater, sometimes I can't believe how fast time flies by when I'm absorbed in trying to work out scraps and matching colors, jewels ...etc.  I look up and realize its after 11 and a work night. Time to put it all away until I get a chance tomorrow.

My Pretty Valentine

Such a beautiful cluster with so many luscious colors! This cluster frame was created by Crispified Basima from a PTU Scrap Kit by Tiny Turtle Designs called "Pretty Spring".  I gave the frame my own touch by adding elements and paper from a scrap kit by Bella Caribena called "Cute and Sexy".
This scrap kit can be found at Bella Caribena's website. You can find "Pretty Spring" here








The final finish was not to crop to the tag, but to leave it fully stretched to canvas. Canvas size 700 x 700, resolution 96, transparency checked, added a drop shadow of 2, 2, 75, 2.00 for definition. For the title, I used a Marguerite font, adding my copyright.  Finally, I used Xero filter "Porcelain" and sharpened the results. 

Overall, I think the results are lovely...

Love My Teddy

This was a fun cluster to create! The beautiful woman dragging her teddy is a tube by Barbara Jensen called "My Teddy" and can be purchased directly on her website. The frame was FTU and I found it on a blogger's website many years ago. Unfortunately, my bad...I totally forgot to write down the person who created it. There are so many lovely frames that I have found that have no credit attached to them. I know they were FTU, but I always feel the person who created them should receive the applause.  I dressed up the frame using a Scrap Kit from Jackie's Jewels, "Serenity Park".  This kit is no longer available for purchase. 😞


I loved the paper from this kit, but needed to use a mask by "Crispified Basima" on a white background to bring out the color of the paper,  You can get the mask here.  Canvas size 700 x700, 72 resolution.  Xero filter "Porcelain" to brighten the colors. Finally used a high pass sharpen to add more definition to the overall tag.

Love You To the Moon and Back

First Valentine tag of 2017.  Work and home have kept me busy, so I finally had a chance today to create a valentine cutie using  a sweet lady called "Blaze" by Very Many.  You can find her here.


The frame is made by Tonya and called "Ruby Birthstone".  Its a free to use frame created with a Scrap Kit by Tasha's Playground.  The scrap kit is pay to use and can be found here. You can click on the picture of the frame to get Tonya's freebie.  Tonya has a very large selection of gorgeous FTU Cluster frames, while you are getting the frame, check out the others she has to share. 

Back to work tomorrow...will take me some time to create more.  Have a great Monday everyone! Good night!!

Frosty Winter

First tag of 2017! Its freezing here in San Manuel, so I thought this frame would be appropriate to represent the color of the day....BLUE! This beautiful woman with the brightest blue eyes made me smile.  I love this tube by Very Many, "Blue Lollipop". She looks a bit chilly in her blue sweater and white furry boots. The inner framed tube  is at 65% Opacity with Inner Glow applied.

Blue Lollipop 

This is a FTU Cluster Frame, "Frosty Wnter" but I can't remember where I got it from and there were no credits attached to the frame. If anyway recognize's it, please let me know the creator so I can give credit. I added a blue oval textured shape to the frame and a paper from a Free Scrap Kit from Carita Creationz called "Winter Kisses". You can obtain it on her website.
