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!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Yuletide




 


Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! Today I am sharing a Christmas card & tag that I have created using this beautiful Father Christmas image from Mean kitty's kanvas.







I designed my creations using these wonderful  digital winter scrapbook papers from manu design studios over on Etsy. I then encased the image inside a gunmetal postage stamp frame. Next, I added some grey plaid paper from my own stash.

 To complete my card & tag, I have added a sumptuous velvet grey poinsettia, silver leaves and stems of silver berries.





I hope that I have inspired you to create your own Vintage Christmas tags & cards!
