This week you're "it"! We're playing TAG! I hope you will play along and make at least 1 tag with me this week (it can be any kind of tag - not just Christmas Tags)! I know many of you really want to make cards, so how about a card with a tag? I've taken the time to pin over 400 tags on my Gorgeous Tags Pinterest Board, and I'm inviting you there to be as inspired as I am! I promise to make even more tags tomorrow too. I don't think it's possible to have too many tags this time of year....and I'll have to save some for the DD gallery too!
I made a few tags tonight when I got home from work (they took only a few minutes to pull together), and I hope they'll inspire you too!
Challenge Goals:
Please don't be tempted to upload a card that you have made prior to this challenge, just because an image on the board reminds you of it. :cool: Rather, take the challenge of allowing your creative juices to flow based on your impressions when you look through the images. Remember, it can just be the color palette or style that ignites your creativity. Whatever draws you to the designs, take the challenge of doing something uniquely inspired today.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many images to choose from, I've uploaded 10 of my favorites (since there are so many pins)! So just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger and to get their links on SCS. Don't forget to let us know which photo served as your inspiration piece please.
How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.
Awesome board, Audrie!! I have to run into town to get new tires this morning, but I have my inspiration piece picked out....when I get home, I'll be ready to stamp!!!
Wow Audrie...fantastic board! I am so inspired...you know what I will be doing this week!
for today I got two more cards done...one with a tag and the other without.
thanks for inspiring us!
I couldn't sleep so I stayed up and made some more CAS tags! I think this can be rather addicting.....uh oh! I'll be back on line after I've slept a while! Have fun!

Audrie- awesome site! I was inspired by the animal themed/holiday tags and went with a holly/pine and fox inspired tag. Added a framed sentiment, and finished with a double baker's twine bow. Here's Happy Holidays Tag

I have a ton of tags done in my Craft room, and I know I've done too much when I can no longer find my scissors and glue - LOL! Beautiful gallery today! WOW!
Thanks for another fabulous challenge, Audrie! I love that you pin photos that are not only beautiful, but clever and creative!!! This card was a blast to make, even though it took all day, on and off!!! Can't wait to see what's next....see you next Saturday!!
