...the idea is to create an art tag each week on a Tuesday with a different chosen theme.
Here is todays theme and tag...

Last weeks tag...
SNOW SPORTS AND GAMES

 Made with a chipboard tag,  painted with a crackle effect background, vintage image, dictionary definitions, lace, seam binding, vintage buttons, ribbon rose, pom pom trim and a pom pom for a snowball :)

 and the first weeks tag...
SNOW

Snowflakes are kisses sent from heaven
Made with a brown luggage tag, stamped the 'icicles' and 'angel' (Andy Skinner stamps) coloured with vintage photo distress ink and a white pencil, snowflake paper background, aqua pom pom trim, seam binding , cheesecloth and added a crochet 'snowflake' with a button.

Hi Jan! I am sorry you are having problems with Blogger. It can be such a pain sometimes, right? I am not having any of those things happen to me...but, it does do some weird little things off and on. Your tags are DARling! I especially love that first one with the crackle in the back. :) Have a beautiful week!

I couldn't load pics for a while there after Blogger set up the new format, I switched to the new templates and all was ok again, they made quite a few changes.
Love your tag update, totally gorgeous, really really pretty! Mx

Fabulous tags Jan - I love the crackled backgrounds and the look of real wood.

I know a lot of people have been having Blogger trouble recently - I've also had difficulty in leaving comments sometimes - let's hope it's all fixed now x

Love your tags Jan! And yes, I have been having trouble with some blogs loading and unable to leave comments on some.

Hello my friend.. You winter tags look AMAZING.. I love the crackle background on that first tag. Makes me want to give it a try....

You are not alone with blogger problems.. I have been reading other folks having problems also.. It seems like if you change your browser to chrome it helps. At least that is what I have been reading.

Hugs, Linda

Hi Smiff :)
YES Blogger has been a pain. I heard on the news today that Google is shutting down some sites and Wilkipedia for a freedom of speech protest so it may be difficult to get onto some US sites.
Blogger for a few days was not lettimg me post comments and was taking forever to load pages. Anyways it is not YOU.
Lovely tags. I was going to sign up for that challenge but decided I have enough on my plate. Have fun and we sure have missed you.
