First look at my April Tag


How much fun I had making this tag for the April Tag Swap hosted by our friend Arlene at butterflykisseswithlove.blogspot.com . Thanks Arlene.
The theme was Roses and flowers, and add some fabric. The fabric is actually my Cupid and Phyque image. That is my favorite stamp in the whole wide world ! There is other pieces of fabric throughout the tag. The Rose on her hair is special! There's vintage lace, as well as vintage bling.
I've not had time to make my first You Tube, but I am hoping May will be a good time to start. I would love to share my techniques with all you lovely ladies! Hope you like it. I'll post more photos soon!

6) Being so humble myself, I am finding it hard to write ten things that are interesting about me! This is hard labor ! :)


7) Oh ! My favorite symbol is the Fleur De Lis !

The fleur-de-lis (or fleur-de-lys; plural: fleurs-de-lis; French pronunciation: [flœʁ də lis]) is a stylized lily (in French, fleur meansflower, and lis means lily) or iris that is used as a decorative design or symbol. It may be "at one and the same time, political,dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic", especially in heraldry.[1
