3 Summer tags for 2025 – Tag 2
Tag 2 for this challenge has a bit of a patriotic theme. I used a popsicle shape from a grouping I found on Creative Fabrica. I've used it previously – last July on my ministering cards. Resized to a larger size and each of the pieces was cut from white cardstock.
I added color using inks from my stash and a blender tool with some painter's tape to block the center area to leave it white. I added some white paint dots to the blue area and swiped the red and blue areas with some nuvo drops to add a little sheen, though it doesn't really come through. I inked around the edges using the blending tool. The popsicle stick is swiped with the inkpad to add a little texture and depth as if it was made of wood. The star is a shape from the SCAL library and is a stack of three shapes to create a little depth. I like how it turned out. I added a button with a little twine to the front of the star and some cotton twine as a hanger is attached to the back of the tag.
make the most of each ‘today!

My Journey Notes:
If it’s not on the list…. yep, it won’t get done! Things have to be on the list, calendar, somewhere visual – if it’s not, well, it’s unfinished history. We were running through the important dates for August yesterday and there’s evidently a birthday I’d forgotten about. So now that’s back on the calendar in my studio so I’ve got a visual reminder. I have a list of cards to get done in the next few days so they’re ready for delivery and mailing – today’s a good day to work on them, I think.

My Journey notes:
Still in the insomnia cycle… hoping tonight is the last night of being awake for most of it and we can get back into a good night’s sleep pattern again. Barometer is doing it’s thing… up, down, holding and repeat. It would be nice if it held in one place for a couple of days – the migraines have been coming in waves the last couple of weeks.
