No crafting for me yesterday. Instead we took a road trip to the southeast part of Alabama: We drove along the Little River Canyon and stopped at the many overlooks along the way. It was a perfect day for it.

We stopped by the Little River Falls first. I love waterfalls. I could have stayed there all day, just listening to the water roar over the rocks.

The various overlooks were fun. Sometimes you could see the water below and sometimes not. Everything was green. Several kayaks were navigating the various falls along the river and we occasionally got to watch them when our stops coincided just right.

Looking back at the falls:

I see pretty napkins in the store all the time and always have the urge to buy them and use them for something crafty. I refrain, because I'm afraid that I would then be overrun with napkins in my little studio! But I did purchase one package several years ago that I couldn't resist, plus it was on clearance - a bonus!

I've used a couple for small projects here and there. Today I used them on a slightly bigger project: A remote control holder. I had purchased this unfinished wood storage thingie months ago from Hobby Lobby; I'm just now getting around to decorating it.

I glued the napkins on the ends using gel medium and painted the rest black with dark gold trim (I wish I could say that I painted before I glued the napkins, but I can't - there's a tip for ya). Then I took some of the same gold and stamped the swirls (Tim Holtz's Flourish stamp) - and even dabbed some off-white paint on the stamp to reflect the white in the napkin pattern. Which didn't come out real well in the photo.

I'm not quite done covering the entire thing with glossy Mod Podge (as you may be able to see in the picture) but I wanted to get the photo before it got dark. I'll finish it up later, let it dry, then put it back in the living room so that we can keep some semblance of organization with all the remotes we have. (We have four - how many do you have?)

While I had some paper and my die cut machine out, I created a card. Although this doesn't quite match what I had in my head (it never does, really) I like the teal and gold palette.

I had some pieces leftover from creating my tag for Tag Tuesday so I made another one. I used the same sketch (thanks, Louise!) in reverse. Sort of.

I created a different background from yesterday's tag out of Distress Inks (Vintage Photo and Weathered Wood). My semi-circles were created out of some double-sided paper (K&Co's Life Journeys - yum!) so I matched the reverse side up with the Nestability scalloped oval die cut.

I used an image from DigitalCollageSheets.com I received as a RAK (thanks again, Louise!) and for my border I put together leftover pieces from yesterday's ric rac. (And I didn't let it dry before I took the photo; you can see the wet Glossy Accents. Oops!)

Considering the great sketch and the leftovers, this was a pretty easy tag!

This is my entry for Tag Tuesday this week:

This week we had a sketch to follow. Go take a look and be sure to visit the other blogs participating!
