Tag, You're It! #39 with Erin

I'm back from a long Holiday break, and so happy to be back!  I find that I'm either all in, or not at all when it comes to blogging.  There's got to be a middle ground during the busier seasons in life.  I've missed you all, and can't wait to see what you're up to, especially with all of the crafty supplies you got for Christmas!  This year I just ordered, and gave my husband the box to wrap.  He was not impressed.  Most husbands would love that strategy, but he's not most husbands, I guess.

For this challenge, Erin is taking us outdoors on a camping trip!  I would love to visit Erin at her campground in California some day.  Meanwhile, I CASEd the nature of her tag with trees and clouds, and made a masculine birthday card:
Here's Erin's wonderful tag:
I began with some Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and smooshed PTI Tropical Teal, Blueberry Sky, and Limeade Ice.  The watercolor paper was then cut into a tag.  I die cut Poppystamps Evergreen Trees from four shades of green cardstock scraps and distressed them with DI Gathered Twigs.  The trees were arranged and adhered with glue at the bottom.  The clouds and birthday die and stamp are from PTI.  One cloud was popped up on foam.  The ribbon was a buy from the Target $1 bins a long time ago.  The background paper is from Momenta.
 
I hope you will play along with us over at Tag, You're It.  I love seeing how everyone interprets the tags, and this whimsical tag from Erin is fantastic!
 
Thanks for coming over to visit.  Indoors or out, I hope you're having a wonderful day!

  9. Love the watercolor background!!! And you should totally come camping in California at the Inn Town Campground, we can do a crafty get together (or you could join my month class?). And my husband did the exact same thing with the Christmas gifts, but he wrapped them himself. He said, "Well I know you hate shopping and I really wanted something to open on Christmas, so I just bought myself the gifts." I cried, thinking I was a terrible wife. Life goes on.

  10. Welcome Back from your break! Your big tag is amazing, perfect colours for a masculine card and the subtle watercolour background works so well, I'd love to go camping too, but for me now sadly it's off to work today, but I did just spend the morning at the beach, so things aren't really too bad here lol.

  18. It's so good to see you back, Kara Lynn! I was afraid you had disappeared on us again so I'm glad that's not the case! I do admire you young mothers who manage to juggle it all! I know sometimes something has to give and, of course, family is the most important. Your wonderful outdoor scene is sensational on your tag!! Enjoy the weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
