Tags on Thursday

Hello Everyone who visits Jumbled Crafts and thank you for calling in. The week is racing by as always but I am pleased to say I am feeling much better now and even ready to face the car boot sale this morning as I want to find more supplies for my new/old crafty hobby. More of that at a later date.

At Moo Mania and More the theme this time is Faces and at Go Tag Thursday there is a new theme starting today to use Pink/lots or a little.


I cut-out the background picture from an old birthday card and stuck it onto some packaging. Then I found the 'faces' on a free to use journal front and printed them out. The flowers are cut from old wall paper


At Tag Tuesday we have Wilma hosting this time and she has chosen Heritage as the theme because it was World Heritage Day when the challenge started on Tuesday. I hope you will join us with your take on the theme. It lasts for 2 weeks so plenty of time to think what to make.


Today I have chosen my dad as he was a great inspiration in many areas of my life. Not crafting, but he had a wonderful brain and seemed to know everything about anything.  That's what I thought when I was growing up. This photograph is when he was very young and had to wear a dress. How things have changed these days with girls usually wearing trousers of some kind. 
I can imagine wanting to make many more tags for this theme as it so good to think about my heritage as well as the general theme.

Have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    You make excellent tags. Very, very impressive. I am in awe of the recycling you did on the first piece, from the old birthday card to the wallpaper flowers.

    The second tag is beautiful. Yes, those were the days when boys wore dresses. Not so these days. WONDERFUL entries today, dear.

    Both tags are amazing Chrissie! I love them both - the lovely photo of your father wearing a dress is just precious. My father had to be a girl as well as he was a little boy. My grandmother wished she had a girl and so she made one out of him....
    Good to hear that you feel better again!
    Thank you very much for taking part in the MOO-MANIA & MORE -CHALLENGE again! Your support is always so nice !
    love from

    Beautiful tags Chrissie and another super old family photo.
    The dresses for the boys, show just how times have changed over the decades. Can you just imagine us making our boys dress like that now.

    Love your tags. Especially love the one of your father when he was young. Love the composition, with the clock in the background and the bright red poppies. It is great that making the tags brings back so many happy memories. Happy T(hurs)day!

    Love your pink (or not) tag - the journal cover image is wonderful (there's something about vintage advertising of that era that is just so evocative), and the flowers are really pretty.

    Great tag celebrating your dad too. The simplicity really allows that superb photo to speak volumes.

    Both tags are wonderful! I like the cute photo of your Dad wearing a dress - I know it the other way: My mother wanted to have a boy, and so I always were dressed in trousers.

    Both of these are very nice indeed. There is a sweetness and a peacefulness in both of them as well.

Tag and Journal page design

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
