I finally put this girl on one of my Tracy's Tags :)
If you remember from this post where I shared my completed girl, I had coloured her up awhile ago.
I completed this tag on my girls getaway the other week.
I used papers from a G45 collection.
Her is what the inner tag looks like.
I am going to add some pretty paper on the back for a note to the recipient :)
Ashley has to wait a few weeks for her window coverings to get installed.
Wayne and I didn't like the fact that anyone can look in. I am sure Ashley didn't like that either.
Wayne said just throw a sheet up there until the window coverings come in.
Well if you know me, then you know I couldn't just tack up a sheet. It has to look pretty...right.
What I did was take a white sheet and cut it in half. I put the cut side to the outside edge of the window and the sewed edge to the inside.
I figured the inside would get more handling and with it being sew, wouldn't fray.
I was going to sew the cut edges....but lets not go overboard here, lol.
Then lastly, I cut some white ribbon and tacked in between the wall and trim. I used a clear tack so you wouldn't notice it as much.
Tied the ribbon into a bow and viola...a pretty tie back.
Ashley just has to undo the bow at night for full privacy.
I was pretty proud of this easy, yet pretty way to use a sheet for a temporary curtain ;)
We are heading out to the cottage as I type this.
I am looking forward to a hot sauna to ease my sore arthritic knees, fingers and feet.
I am planning on doing some colouring and just relaxing.
I am also hoping to do a bit of blueberry picking :)
I hope you all had a creative Friday and a enjoyable weekend.
Tracy :)

Steampunk Jessica on a Tracy's Tag
Today is my DT day for Little Blue Button Stamps :)
I chose Steampunk Jessica.
I just adore this image. I love the steampunk theme.
The project that I am sharing with you is a tag I created.
I came up with this idea a few years ago and even hosted a swap.
One of my YouTube followers calls them "Tracy's Tags"...I kind of like that name ;)
To learn more about these tags you can check out my Video
Here is a closer look at Steampunk Jessica :)
I had fun with her and if you don't like the Steampunk theme, you could colour her any way you want.
I have used the Steampunk Debutante papers from Graphic 45. I really like these papers...well except for the mechanical leg...I just can't bring myself to use those papers, lol.

I used my much loved Copic markers and here are the colours for this image.
I see a few in the middle have a glare to them. They are E50, E31 and Y28,
I decorated the top of the tag with some flowers and a stamp from the paper collection.
I also added a fun dress form paper clip :)
The fun part of these tags is that you get two projects in one ;)
I use those window envelopes that you get with your bills, and give them a new life.
A lot prettier and enjoyable life then the would have had before, teehee.
If you want to check out some of my older tags that I had made for my swap, take a peek at this video :)

I hope you all have had a very Creative Tuesday :)
