TCP Tuesday Two!



It's the second Tuesday of the Month! And, I am back in beautiful sunny, San Francisco! I had a wonderful time in Canada! Spent a lot of time in the Kewlona, which is absolutely spectacular. Wine tasting, boating and seeing the sights of beautiful British Columbia during Canada Day is something I will always treasure.

Then, it was onto Calgary for the Calgary Stampede. Calgary was hit hard by the recent floods, but, the show must go on, as they say. And, the Stampede, went on in magnificent fashion. Saw my very first Chuck Wagon race and attended my very first rodeo! Yee Haw. AND, saw my first sheep shearing contest. For the knitters out there, it was something to behold.

But, enough about my time away. On to the challenge!

The challenge this month is to use a tag in your card or project. Except your tag must be handmade, and not store bought. Think of using the luggage tags CutUps or the toppers to create your tags. Maybe it’s the Big Ticket CutUps. Or any of the other CutUps If it has a hole in it, it’s a tag.

Ready to see what our Cat Pack did with this challenge?



Noelle McAdams created this awesome card using our Key Phrases set and our Big Ticket, Key to My Heart and Luggage Tags CutUps. It's the perfect card for graduation or to congratulate someone on a promotion.




Nancy Thomas used the Toppers CutUps to create this tag. And she used the Circus Panels CutUps to stamp the Life's a Beach set. Then, she embellished it with a flower from the Flower Buttons CutUps. Love the soft colors and textures of this card!


Now, I thought that I'd show you an oldie but goodie, from Leigh O'Brien! She used the Big Ticket CutUps to create a pull tag. Paired with Take Off, this card has me soaring. (Using our Cloud Border, of course.)




Now, you've seen what we did with the challenge. Let's see what you can do. Tag! You're it!
