Tag you're it... Wings

Hi,
Chris and I have just spent a fabulous 24hrs crafting our likkle hearts out with very little sleep taking place.

This tag is for the Tag You're It challenge this week and is one of the pieces that I finished...Can't tell you what Chris created but I will say one of them has loads of lovely lace and both of them have lots of pearls and stamping..keep an eye out for them on her blog...they are stunning.

Now back to my tag, the paper used is one of Cosmo Crickets the stamp is from Karen at Scrapz (paperartzy) along with the German metal wings.

I tried 'dooooood-ling' without my glasses...'cos I've lost them and waiting for my new ones, I couldn't see properly... hence a bit untidy... but never mind I'll do better next time LOL.

I also created a gorgeous holder for wine using even more of the fab Cosmo Cricket papers however thats for a later post as I have challenge Chris to make one too she has just 2weeks to complete it.
Thank you for stopping by this week it means alot to us.

Have a great weekend.

A BIG hello to say I am back again..sorry to have been away sooo long... a whole 2 weeks without my MOJO, it gets to us all now and then.
My good friend Chris came over on Wednesday evening ...It had been 2 weeks since we got together for a crafting session....life just gets in the way sometimes.
Another crafting friend Debbie joined us and wow did we have some fun... not much in the way of MOJO but we did get get down and dirty playing with inks.

Below is one of the tags I inked ( will show you the others at a later date ) we all did 3 each.
I decided to use this one for the TAG YOU'RE IT challenge over HERE.

Sadly Karen's Dad passed away this week, Our LOVE goes out to you and your family Karen.
I stamped the background using one of myfabulous Crafty Individual stamps and embossed the Crafty Individual harlequin stamp with gold embossing powder.
