Hello, Stamplings!
Welcome to another Friday which whooshed in here like a ..., as fast as a ...! Oh, dear, I can think of a lot of words and expressions, but this is a family blog (mostly) so none of them are suitable! I'll let you fill in the blank with your own expression in your comment, which will tell me how stressed out you are!
Today I'm up with my reminder tag as Guest Designer at Tag You're It!
Over on the challenge blog, the very talented Hazel is the featured artist with an adorable baby tag.
I mentioned last week that you did not need to make a baby gift tag, unless you needed one. I know a lot of you are making Christmas tags, but I only see one in the TYI gallery yet, so maybe you didn't believe me cuz I'm such a kidder. But it's true, honest!
So to inspire you, for my reminder tag I changed the theme to a Christmas tag, but kept to the main elements of Hazel's adorable design: I was inspired by Hazel's embossed background, pink color, main focal image, and die-cut sediment.
I used a snowfall e/f for the background, the adorable penguins are from Stamps of Life, and the joy die is from Lawn Fawn.
~~~
Are you thinking, "Good to know, but I only make cards."
Aha! Did you know that you can also enter cards at Tag You're It? I didn't know that for a long time, but you absolutely can! So I turned my tag into a usable card to inspire you:
~~~
Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

Your card has to have a tag layer, of course, and we still need to see how the Featured Artist inspired you, but other than that, you are free to design in the way that makes you happy!
I'd love to see your tag/card linked! You have five more days before the linky closes!

This tag and card is so cute! I love the penguins and love the glossy accent
ReplyDeleteHi Darnell, That's a fab tag/card. Oh and as fast a rat up a drainpipe.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely weekend. Sue
No--I didn't know you could enter a card with a tag element. Love this darling Christmas tag made into a card, Darnell! The ribbon matching the sentiment is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCuter than cute penguin tags! My weekend is zipping by like a flash of white lightnin'! LOL Enjoy yours too!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a good week and its moseying on by at normal speed. Your penguins are darling Darnell.
ReplyDeleteYou are always full of great ideas for lovely creations! The cute penguin mum with her baby on the clean tag is a delight, with or without card!
ReplyDeleteI'm too very stressed and distressed, thanks for remember us that we aren't alone :D
Hugs
Such an adorable one!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I too didn't know about making a "tagged card" and I don't make tags so haven't entered. My bad! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour penguino's are adorable, Darnell.
ReplyDeleteTruly sweet. 💕
I didn't know you could do a card with a tag on it either...good to know. Those precious penguins are making my brain tingle, big time. So I may be showing up over in the gallery, too.
ReplyDeleteDo you know I have real problems making tags, it certainly is no problem for you though, another two crackers, great images.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.

A really lovely card and tag Darnell. Those penguins are soooo cute. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and adorable penguin tag. But then to see you turn it into a card is even more awesome. I just love the design of it both ways.
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration and such a fun tag and then to pop it onto a card...inspiring! x
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Darnell, those adorable penguins are just so cute! Tag looks great on a card too. I'm not sure about this week whoosing by, I blinked and the whole year has nearly flown by! Is it really the middle of November?? xx
ReplyDeleteWhat cute penguins and they work well as just a tag and also added to a card. I love the pretty embossed background and the touch of pink works beautifully for the sentiment and also the ribbon. Christmas will have to be my priority for sure fairly soon as I am so behind with my cards so the stress is definitely building...lol. x
ReplyDeleteDarnell, your tag is super cute. I love that you made it into a card 'cause it looks perfect as that also. 😚 Mwah!
ReplyDeleteYou are sorely clever 😘
ReplyDeleteLove the tag, turned card! Have a wonderful weekend!
Very cute penguins. Love the tag on a card.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute penguin tag and great card.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
A super fun tag, Dolly! Love these penguins! I'm still hoping to get a tag done for this challenge. Seems like the time whooshes past quicker than I can move! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteClever you dear friend, loving the wee penguins how I hate typos am thinking i better get off here more mistakes than not, tired plus,

Whooshed in like a speeding bullet.
ReplyDeleteWhat'd you make? I forgot again. Too much speeding. Penguin.........yes. A cute penguin. I've never even heard of Tag You're It until today. I'm glad to know you can make a card. The penguins are cute as their little noses almost look heart shaped due to the light. [Bunny]
Such a cute tag and I love how it works on a card base...you are a clever girl, Darnell!!!
ReplyDeleteYour little pair of Chilly Willys are adorable! I like them as a tag and as a card!
ReplyDeleteWhat cuties! Perfect for babies or Christmas--well, penguins work for anything!! BTW, your posts haven't been showing up in my emails. I resubscribed and it said I had already subscribed. Do you know if anyone else has been having problems?
ReplyDeleteYour penguins are adorable, Darnell, very sweet card and tag. Hope you have a fabulous weekend. x
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your GD spot!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAwww so cute :)
ReplyDeleteAww super cute tag and card Darnell the penquins are so cuddly sending lots of love x
ReplyDeleteThis is just adorable! Have a wonderful weekend x
ReplyDeleteThese penguins are so cute. I rarely make tags but I got things out yesterday and today is "tag day". I could use some for gifts this year, so I'd better get busy. Congratulations on being the guest designer.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card with that sweet tag Darnell! Who doesn't love penguins - cute as can be.
ReplyDeleteHugs

This is sooo cute! Congrats on guesting, too! :)
ReplyDeleteYour penguin tag is so darn cute and I love how you added it to a card which, for me, is the way to go seeing as how the Christmas season is whooshing in like a giant hungry bird, swallowing up fall and Thanksgiving when it comes to card making. The gloss you added to their eyes and beaks (bills?) is an extra special touch, making them all that much more adorable.
ReplyDelete... liked greased lightning ;)
ReplyDeleteThis little penguin pair is adorable, Darnell. I love their shiny eyes and beaks :)
Very cute whether it be a tag or a tag-on-a-card. (Kinda like a hot dog on a stick). Hee hee. Have a wonderful turkey day. Three invites but staying home as I continue to hyper-extend my knee and sitting around and driving both hurt. We will go to the Sizzler where they serve a great turkey dinner AND I don't have to cook. :) B
ReplyDeleteI love your tag card, I usually use my tags on cards too! I adore those penguins - they are the cutest ever! Hugs xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteAwwww, super cute Darnell. I usually have one or two tags in hand that can double up as toppers if necessary xx
ReplyDeleteits super adorable!
ReplyDeletelove it!
Thanks for explaining the tag on a card idea, Darnell. I usually put all the ones I make on a card at some point because I don't need them as tags. Your little penguins are adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour little penguins are just too cute. Gorgeous tag and it looks great on a card too xx
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Sorry I have been MIA... One day I will get back to normality... Hope you are well, sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteDarling little penguins, Darnell ... whether they're on display on your tag or card! Ah yes, whooshing weeks ... squeaky already and we don't even have Thanksgiving! I could say more but as you note, this is a family blog so squeaky will have to do!! LYAMYMA ... AWYAVHT! Big hugs & bisous, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteFun penguins as a card or a tag. Don't they always make you smile? x
ReplyDeleteSweet tag, the penguins are darling and I really like the use of pink for your sentiment x
ReplyDeleteApologies for my lateness... The penguins are just adorable and what a good idea to turn a tag into a card - that's an idea I must borrow! I cannot believe just how close Christmas is and I have only made a couple of cards - yikes, may have to resort to purchasing some after all.... Big hugs, Annie xxx
ReplyDeleteReally cute! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAdorable penguins! and I really enjoy that you added your tag to a card! Another one of my "to do's"...
ReplyDeleteThis two penguins are so cute, that I would of adopt them immediately. Super nice tag and a lot of ideas, what does tag mean.You are a great motivator for inspiring people to make something else as usualy. :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sonja
Very cute, both the tag and the card made with it. Thanks for joining me at Little Red Wagon this week.
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable, Darnell. The year is flying by in a bleep... BUT I finally created my first four Christmas cards yesterday! Whew!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Em xoxo
So cute and fun!
