Can You Wobble on a Tag?

If you haven't met up with Action Wobbles in your paper crafting yet, you're missing out!  I've been wobbling a lot of things lately and a few weeks back I had wobbled a stamped image on a mouse trap.  If you didn't get the chance to see it . . . check it out here.  I was the winner that week and was asked to guest design for Action Wobble this week . . . so I wondered . . . what have I not wobbled yet?

And then it hit me.  I have these decorative blocks that I created a few years ago.  They are just 2 x 4's cut into varying sizes that I covered in pages of an old book using Mod Podge.  I added a screw at the top of each for hanging, and then I create seasonal decorative tags that hang from them.  I wanted to create a new set for Halloween.

There are six blocks, so I typically will pick a six letter word and include some embellishments.  But sometimes I will include an image and use a shorter word.  I decided to go with "EEK" which would allow me to use some fun Halloween characters.  Here is what I came up with . . .

So the wobbles appear on two of the tags . . . the vampire and the owl . . .

Check out that wobble action (or rather, check out that blur!).  

Love the added effect of the wobble action on these, as it adds dimension.  Just one problem . . . my cat has discovered the darn wobble and one block has hit the staircase below!

Hmmm . . . the blocks are indestructable, and paper and creating can be done on a yearly basis.  It's a win-win situation.

Here are the other blocks up close and personal . . .

Two little tweeks that I did on these . . . I included the stamped "eek" on each one!  On the far left and far right tags (the vampire and the pumpkin) I included a curl of ribbon that made me think of quotes.

LOVE these blocks.  LOVE the wobbles . . . and I plan to use them on my next set, which will be Thanksgiving.  I definitely need to find a short word so I can wobble a turkey! 

Any suggestions for a Thanksgiving word?  Send them along.

Can you Wobble on a tag?  Yes, you can.  Imagine your holiday gift tags with wobbles.  Amazingly cute opportunity awaits . . . now, go create!

World Card Making Day Inspiration Meets Heart 2 Heart

Busy, busy weekend!  Little time to create, but I did want to try to get a few cards created for World Card Making Day.  I belong to an on-line stamping group that is AWESOME called StampNation.  They had an amazing on-line event last year, and this year's is amazing as well.  StampNation has members in 16 countries, and the awesome design team provided inspirational photos from all of them.

I didn't have time for all of them . . . yet!  I say yet because they keep their challenges open forever so I can always find creative inspiration.  And it's a good thing, because I had to work all weekend . . . no time to create. 

I decided to combine one of those photos with a challenge at Heart 2 Heart.  So it was Au Naturale (using neutral colors) in combination with this photo which was representation from New Zealand and what is called Waitangi Day . . .

. . . that inspired my card . . .

It was the busy costumes of the performers that caught my attention.  So of course I had to include some chevrons and designs to catch attention. 

All of the product shown is from Close To My Heart, except for the jewels which were strays from a past project.  I'm loving that "view master" stamp.  I have a similar die from Sizzix.  FUN!

Hoping to finish all of the challenges . . . eventually.

Go create!
