Life is better on the farm!

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a vintage card and tag that I have created using this wonderful image from mean kitty.

To create my card and tag I have used these lovely distressed texture papers from artistic way & co, which I stamped grunge farm quotes on top of. Next, I adhered some lovely red and gold script scrapbook paper. 

I have also adhered some plaid and vintage ruler paper strips. To finish, I added a dark red wax seal and my own word labels.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage artist trading cards!

A woman's best friend!

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a few vintage artist trading cards that I have created using these lovely photos.

As you probably already know, I am a huge lover of vintage! I really wanted to go back to my 'roots' of creating vintage collage art; I have missed it so!

To create my atc's, I have used these lovely vintage paper strips from my own stash. I then added some vintage postage stamps and applied mixed media stamps along with black ink.

To finish, I then adhered my own word labels and added these fabulous ladies with their loveable fur babies! 

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage artist trading cards!

The seven witches of menopause ~ part one

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! I hope that you had a lovely Christmas time and I would like to wish everyone a 'Happy New Year', I hope that 2026 brings you lots of love, laughter and light.

Today I am sharing some funny Menopause altered art tags that I have created. I am indeed on the horizon of perimenopause and I think as fearless women we should be able to speak confidently and honestly about perimenopause and menopause.

So why not?! we are strong, beautiful women after all! And I hope that you can have a lighthearted chuckle along with me!

With a thought in mind, I came across some funny menopause memes while I was surfing Pinterest.

'the Seven witches of menopause'

 I also came across these vintage photographs of a few women who look quite unamused! Then, my creative ideas took flight as they always do!

I have used these wonderful collage papers from art house whimsy and these journal tags from vintage digital rose.

I have also used a combination of vintage music sheets, washi tapes and vintage bingo cards. To complete my tags I have added stamped images and word labels that I designed myself.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own tags!
