the tags of summer!

part two in the continuing series of "lauren making WAAAAAY too many tags for the current caardvarks challenge"


MAY:
(which might be my favorite...not that i have a favorite...but if i did, this might be it!)
i was completely stumped for may...and on the verge of going a generic "spring flowers" type o'thing...when this line from shakespeare popped into my head as i was falling asleep friday night! (which is why there is a pad of postie notes & a pencil next to my bed!)


(vintage timecard; patterned paper: crafty secrets; clipart: anahata katkin; alphabet rub-ons: making memories, autumn leaves, american crafts, ki; flower sequins: queen & co; paper flowers: doodlebug; stick-on pearls: kaiser; other: colorbox inks, foam tape)


JUNE:
lovely husband jeff and i had this song stuck in our heads for the whole rest of the weekend...but it was worth it, dontcha think??!


(glossy white cardstock: ranger; fabric paper: love elsie; patterned paper & flower brads: making memories; music brads: hot off the press; alphabet rub-ons: making memories, ki)


JULY:

oddly enough, this was the very first tag i made! i don't think i've made ANYTHING forth-of-july related EVER, in my entire life (ok...maybe in grade school...circa 1972...) but for some reason this sheet music and the picture from the book were both *really* appealing to me!


(vintage sheet music; illustration from an old book; cardstock: bazzill; cardstock stickers: doodlebug; border & reinforcement stickers: ki; rub-on letters: gin-x; star brads: making memories; other: misc riboon & tulle, jewelcraft gems, foam tape)


AUGUST:

there is nothing specific about this that says "august"...any more than my june tag is exclusively related to the month of june...but i figured july was LITERAL enough to carry the whole summer! if you decide to "play tag" with us...don't get too bogged down in making a tag that screams the name of your month..."inspired by" is definitely close enough!


(vintage illustration and dictionary entry from old books; cardstock: crate paper; bamboo paper: the paper company; car sticker: creative imaginations; palm tree stamp: unknown; other: raffia, colorbox inks, foam tape)

tomorrow we finish off with september thru december...boy...that year just FLEW by...didn't it??!
