Our new challenge at Top Tip Tuesdays is 'Tag it' - either create a tag or include a tag on your project. We are sponsored by Shape EZ Templates and Sweet Stamp Store. Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to see all of the great projects created by the DT! :)
I used the Flip Tree template for my card and papers from the Bright Smiles digital collection by Michelle Underwood at Two Peas. the middle panel has actually been modified so that it also lifts up. some vintage sequins and a Prima rose were added for simple embellishment.
Tip: Look around your home for great things to re-purpose in your crafting! the tag on my card comes from a purchase made at an antique store. some coats of distress stain, a few squirts of glimmer mist, a stamped sentiment, and several types of washi tape transform it into something brand new! :)
I'm going to be posting a bit more sporadically the rest of this week and into the next, I'm afraid. I just really don't feel well these days. I'll craft when I can, but I am just flat worn out and feel icky. I had really hoped to be back on track with DT work, but not so sure that is going to be happening now.....I don't have the energy to eat or do much of anything. gosh, the joys of cancer make me want to stick out my tongue like a proper 2 year old sometimes. sorry, but I'm just so weary of it right now. maybe if I spend a few days or a week in bed that will help things out.....
anyway. I am so thankful for the small things that make me smile every day. they make such a huge difference in the ability to get through the rough moments. thank you for being part of that! :)
love to all of you! Jennifer

I couldn't see the dimension and depth of the tree until I clicked on the tree and then I was able to enlarge it. I could definitely see that there was more than meets the eye in this tag. I see the net on my phone so sometimes it's hard to get a clear picture. You did a really nice job. I liked that you inked the edges. The tag on the tag is a clever idea. I hope you get stronger. The craft community is behind you, and I'm sure if we all lived closer you would be inundated with casseroles! Take good care of yourself my dear.
Gorgeous tag Jennifer :-)the whole design is fabulous :-)
sorry you're feeling so rough sweetie xx you get some rest and hopefully you will be feeling better soon xxx sending you a HUGE BIG but gentle Hug :-)
Luv
