DCMLE & Arty Girlz


Today's challenge on DCM is to make gift tags & Arty Girlz asks us to handcut something. So here are my handcut CI Angels on mini tags. The angels are stamped in Brilliance Rocket Red Gold & boy did I have fun trying to get a picture of these!! The tag tops are craft glitter sticks about 70p from Tesco. They are like tinsel but pipe cleaners so they twist together. Backgrounds are stamped in script & a snowflake free on the cover of this moths' Craft Stamper. Both overstamped in versamark sky blue with a snowflake.
I'm still not well & have been back to the doctors for yet another prescription. At least the chest infection has cleared, I just need to get my nose clear. I'm on a steroid nasal spray as nothing else appears to work. If I hang over one more bowl of steam I swear I'll fall in,I'm so tired. It is 10 weeks since this all began & the Pixie is determind to be rid of it for Xmas. Lets face it, I'm going to need a bank loan soon the cost of all this is phenomenal!!
Andrea tagged me today, 7 things about myself. Now I know I've done this several times before but I do think they are good as blog people never really know you do they! I won't be tagging anyone but if you read this & fancy a go, then go for it!
1) I only feel assertive when I wear my work suit.
2) I love my Slo Cooker & cooking for the freezer.
3) I never get done all the craft things I want to.
4) I'm learning how to say No, & making myself things.
5) If I could have anything right now, it would be a clear nose!
6) I think Kurt Cobain was the most beautiful creature ever born.
7) I love Home & Away & Neighbours.

These tags are lovely Paula. I've just got these CI stamps today and used one on my Gothic Arch. I love their stuff.

Glad you're feeling a bit better. I know exactly how you are feeling. I have small nasal cavities so have pretty much constant sinusitis. I take echinechea for a month on/month off which helps the immune system and I am afraid the steam does help but I use rosemary and eucalyptus oil in a facial sauna rather than a bowl. Hope this helps. LOL Lynn xx

Gorgeous tags Paula, I combined the 2 challenges. Those angel stamps are beautiful. I hope you manage to get your nose clear. My eldest son 's asthma is bad at the moment, looks like another trip to the doctors.

Gorgeous, glittery angels - the close up looks really fab. Thanks for you best wishes - yes I'm in the midst of my busiest week, but making the most of non-attended lesson to visit DCM tag contributions.

the tags are beautiful Paula. Sorry to hear you are still all bunged up, these bugs seem to take a while to shift! Echo what Lynn said about the essential oils in the steam, and they might help in an oil burner in the background as well.

Gorgeous tags Paula - great idea to use the tinsel pipe cleaners (have stored that one for future reference!!) and I've just spent my Christmas money at C.I. I am so looking forward to unwrapping that lot!!
