My First Post as one of "Ally's Angels"!!!

Hello there dear crafty friends!!

I'm SO very excited to be a member of "Ally's Angels"!!!  I'm here with my first post...we begin a brand new challenge...our theme for the next two weeks is "Use a Tag"...super easy right!!  I thought that this would be the perfect chance for me to start on making the home made tags for the family Christmas gifts!

I've used a lot of supplies that have been lying on my colouring desk as my craft room is STILL in shambles...not gonnna wait for hubby any longer...he's away for a few days so tomorrow I'm going to grab the paint and do it myself...then I'll have to spend another few days putting things back so I can FIND them again!!!!!

Here is what I came up with...

please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...

using a manilla tag as a base I made the first of my Grandkiddie's tags...

 being the oldest...by three minutes...she's a twin...I decided to start with Miss Calla's tag...

and as she is our girly-girl I went with my all time favourite "Devine Tilda"...cause she's such a sweet girly-girl herself...from the Waiting for Christmas 2015 collection...

coloured with my copics...and OOOPPPS I have some bleeding in the hair...YIKES!!...

dusted with Chunky White Frantage...

framed with ruffled ribbon...

 the ribbon...

"Holiday Wishes" is from Stampingbella...stamped with Stazon onto the chiffon ribbon...

 the poinsettia was made using Foamiran...

can't remember what die cut I used to cut it...

"snowflakes" were made using a Crealies die...

And that is my first tag and first creation as an "Angel"!!!  Won't you please come on over and join us...Ally has a fabulous prize for one lucky winner!!

So we begin a brand new challenge here at Fussy and Fancy today...I chose the theme "Fall Bingo Board"...NOW...when I chose this theme I had a totally "FALL" themed card in mind...BUT...WELL...you know what they say about best laid plans!  I needed a birthday card for my DIL Natalie and well the fall thing was just not working for me...add to that the continuing disaster in my craft room...NO it's still not put back together 😩!! BUT I did complete two lines on the "Bingo Board" that I created!
