I'd like to start by saying a HUGE and VERY HEARTFELT THANK YOU INDEED to everyone for such wonderful words and reactions to my WOYWW post last week about our little miracle. It took me a while to muster up the courage to share things but all the fabulous words and wishes were truly amazing. I'm still trying to get round to everyone and here we are again... so it's on with the show!
There's seems to be a bit of everything going on at La De Dah this week...
Firstly, I'm very pleased to say I'm a Visiting Artist at Gingersnap Creations in February.
This week the technique is all about masking tape. I created a vintage tag in good old sepia tones. I made rolled roses using twisted lengths of tape aged with Distress Ink.
If you do see the article, I hope you will have a go! So that's my round up on life, ink and love from over here... Have a good WOYWW, inspiring week - and stay snug! Once more. thanks so very much...in so a many ways. What a great crowd of lovely folk you all are.
Sarah.

Love the roses - very clever and different and they make that tag something special. Am on my second 'pass' of Cs mag, the first is a quick skim through to look at the pictures - spotted your CAS cards straight away - then I go back and read it cover to cover.

Aww Sarah, I don’t know how I managed to miss your news last week but somehow I did. I’m so thrilled for you and your HO…what a joy to hear the patter of tiny feet. Congrats too on your projects in the magazine, I’m not surprised they are there thought because your work is always so inspiring. The tags you’ve made this week are just beautiful and I love the little flowers.
Happy Crafting!

Your tag is lovely! Congrats on the published work!
Thank you for visiting my WOYWW this week. I love the roses you made with the twisted tape. What a great idea! I am on bit of a flower graze, so would love to try that.

That's a lovely tag Sarah
Thanks for stopping over. Congratulations on your publishing! That's so exciting. I really love your vintage butterfly tag!
heather #19
Oh LOL! Can't believe I didn't make it to your desk last week (only got around to the 35 who visited me!) and so I missed your big news. Where do we send our knitted (and stamped) gifts to?
My sincere and heartfelt congratulations to both you and your hubby - I too have had a not-working body for a long time, though for different reasons, and although they can fix it, we can't afford to fix the other problem (snip snip) that Mr B did after Lil Miss was born. I'm a believer in what will be, will be, and I'm sure you will be doing what should be, at the time you should. Time is right! Woohoo!
Oh, and fab article this month hun! ;-)
Easy to make it yourself if you're you - you make it look totally easy!
Loved your CS article..damn you're so versatile!
Congrats on the magazine spread, I'm not surprised your art is inspiring! I was so happy to see those Holtz scissors on your desk. I just ordered a set and I'm hoping they will be as wonderful as they sound.

Congratulations on being published in the magazine! That is so exciting! I love the tag you made as well :)
Happy WOYWW! Katie #18
Your tape roses are beautiful! I've made those using fabric - maybe I'll try to with other things as well.
Congratulations on being published!! Very cool.

Hello Gorgeous Lady. Loving those rolled roses. Must have a go at those though I doubt they will be as pretty as yours. I made some "tissue tape" the other day using micropore tape - but don't tell anyone will you? I forgot to take a photo though so will have to do it again!!
Hope you are both feeling well and hugs to you both xx
well done you on getting into a magazine again, love your tag and those lovely roses and will look out for your piece, when I can get back to normal, Have a great crafty week HaPpY WoYwW

Hi Sarah!
I love your tag - what fascinates me is the sewing you use on your work - I have never done it - I just can't imagine putting paper under the sewing machine! I must try it one day - I am gathering the courage! I will see your article in a few days when I come to England - the CS journal is waiting for me at my DBFs!Looking forward to reading every bit of it!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian

Hi,
I can see lots of fantastic stash on your desk and the sepia tag is lovely with the roses. I looked at your previous post and those little birdies are so cute. Enjoy your weekend, Laura
WOW! That tag is absolutely GORGEOUS!
Roses out of masking tape- who would have thought it! You have a beautiful blog, I'm a follower now. Thanks for your kind comments. Barb #115
Congratulations on your publication and guest spot. It's remarkable that you can make such a vintage tag, yet be published making something CAS. It seems like many folks go one direction or the other -- it's cool that you can do both well. :) (Thanks for visiting my blog.)
I just had to go and read your last week's woyww post as I missed it - so very pleased for you both, many congratulations xx
As always Sarah, your blog is full of inspiration, love your tag and congratulations on being published yet again.
I love all your clear, focused photographs, wish I get mine as good as that, but then I'd probably need a decent camera for that!
Thanks for already stopping by my desk this week :)

Thank you for your visit and kind comments. I reckon there are Borrowers, just devoted to sealing gems. Glad you liked the flourishes cut on the Silhouette, it is an awesome machine. Congratulations on being published. there are so many of you who have been lucky and clever enough to become published. Have a good week. xx Maggie #89
