Home is where the Heart Is

Happy Friday All. Hope you have a wonderful day.
 Looks like it is going to be another hot day today so I am going to set the fan on a high setting and get my feet up to watch the golf on television all day. I sometimes wish I wasn't such a big sports fan as I do spend a lot of hours watching different events. I did used to play a lot of sport but old age took over so I do the next best thing I guess.:) I can do a bit of crafting at the same time though.

At Try it on Tuesday the theme this week is 'Home is Where the Heart is'.


I made this hanging. First of all I found the word Home online and made a larger version to to print onto card. Then I cut it out and stuck it onto another piece of card. Good old distressed inks were used to cover it all and spritzed with water to add effect. I used a die for the hearts and stuck those on and a few jewels. All that remained to do was as the peel-off gold edging, the raffia to hang it up and the flowers.


Thought I had better add my tag that I made for Tag Tuesday where the theme this week is The Roaring Twenties. I have only recently been accepted there and I am enjoying seeing all the wonders that people make each week.

A simple deco shape and a stamped image and peel-offs.


Thank you for dropping by

Love Chrissie xx

    You not watching the cricket Chrissie? The hanging is very pretty - I love mauve. The Art Deco tag is really on theme. Well done.

    I do like this "Home" hanging and reading about how you made it. I like your red Art Nouveau tag too, very effective.

    Hi there, Chrissie, dear...I just love your "Home" hanging and your tag. Both are very pretty, yet distinctly individual. The hanging on the softer side, like a cool breeze, and the tag very clean cut and edgy with the bright red, black, and gold accents. I really like them.

    I hope you enjoyed your sports day.

    Sending you love and best wishes,

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
