The theme over at Tag Tuesday today is "Stuck on Collage" - make a collage tag with stickers.

I took the challenge, in spite of the fact that I'm not very good at collage, or using stickers.

Go take a look at the other submissions over on Louise's Kard Krazy blog and see all the crafty goodness!

It's black and white week for Tag Tuesday! I decided to go digi on this one. Took me much longer to do than paper, but it was fun.

Tag Tuesday (over at Kard Krazy) has a new theme this week, but this isn't it. This tag is from LAST week's theme, Spring. Life has superseded crafting for the last couple of weeks, and I'm just working projects in when I can. I finally completed this tag this morning, when I affixed the lace trim.

Today's life event was another visit to the dentist to replace a filling. I won't go into the gory details (I hate having my mouth messed with, so I tend to believe it's worse than it actually is) but suffice it to say that the husband got a good laugh when I came home and tried to talk. Score one for the dentist!

My friend, Stacy, invited me to participate in a blog hop with Spring as the theme. Since each year I anticipate the coming of Spring (don't we all?), I wanted to participate.

Spring is a season of change: The days lengthen and warm, the landscape comes alive with color and the beginnings of new life can be seen everywhere.

For those days when the chill of winter hasn't quite given way to the heat of the coming summer season, a nice cup of tea can warm the body and soul and ease the transition.

I think I got my week numbers mixed up for the Tag Tuesday challenge over at Kard Krazy! Anyway, this week's theme is to include an arch on our tag.

I adore this window stamp from Lost Coast Designs. I love the intricacy of the ironwork in the window. I'm tempted to create a mask for it, but I'm a little daunted by the thought of cutting out all that detail.

The gold foil at the top is toned down a bit by Caramel alcohol ink, but when I took the photo I think the light caught it just so and it looks much brighter than it really is.
