Working It Through



Hi everyone. Happy Friday. 
So I made this tag for Tag Tuesday and their latest Dance-Dancers-Dancing challenge.
But you know what, I don't like it.  Well I like everything but not the bottom and not the tag under the top tag.
So I digitally tried cutting it down to this.
 I left the sun because I like the sun, but then I still had the issue of the top.


So then I digitally cut it down to this.

I like this one, but I miss the sun.
 But this is what it is. 
I love the pink, the stars and the dancing girl.
She looks like a girl who love sparkle stars and  pink, doesn't she?
And she looks so happy dancing too.

She must know it is Friday, the last day of classes, and a beautiful day. 
Time to celebrate.

And these might be dandelions but they say summer, don't they?  I snapped this photo on a walk this past week. 


 Things have totally exploded with green. 


Take a step back.
 And the garden continues to explode too.


 The peony buds are getting bigger.


The mountain bluets are are blooming.
A pink azalea I in my garden is starting to bloom.


And the bees are buzzing everywhere.



It's a beautiful time of year, isn't it?

Thanks for stopping by.

I like the tag, even after all its iterations. I never thought of using a TH paper doll. They are the perfect ones for this challenge. And the pink is bright and sparkly, too. Great tag, Erika.

Your yard is truly blooming and so are the fields you pass on your walks. Beautiful photos today, dear. Your yard puts mine to shame.

Thanks for making that lovely tag for Tag Tuesday, much appreciated! I had to laugh at you cutting it down,and down again - good that we can do things like that. But it's a pretty tag, really! Your garden is looking good, and I love the dandelions, as always. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

Erika again a lot of new flowers for me! Thank you so much for showing these beautiful assortment to my eye and to my knowledge. Love the art! Reminds me of peaches with beautiful reds and yellow in a spectrum!

it's funny how sometimes we make something and it doesn't sit right with us. my reaction to the 1st version was: this is such a joyous tag and it made me happy to look at it. as much as I liked the sun, I still like the final cut down version. so it's all a win. I'm so glad you linked up to my challenge. take care, xo

Dandelions are the first flower a child gives its mother. That makes them special.

I LOVE this tag. And the celebrate seems so appropriate for you right now!

Wonderful garden photos Erika, and your tag looks great in all its versions :-) xx

Cath Wilson said...

I love your tag! Maybe you just don't like it because the girl looks so small?
You're right, she certainly looks like a girl who loves sparkle stars and pink, lol. She does look really happy. That's a very 'fussy' dress! Maybe she just likes posing - my grandaughter certainly does. She poses for every photo and some of her poses are just ridiculous, but you can't help but laugh. I'm looking forward to seeing her soon! Haven't seen her since mid March, though she has video called a couple of times and sent selfies - she's 7!
Lovely flowers, Erika. I love peonies and azaleas, but I love dandelions and daisies, too. Those bluets are gorgeous.
Enjoy your weekend.

Beautiful happy tag you created. Love the bright colours.

That is a happy tag with or without the sun. I liked it the way it was and I like it with all the alterations so it was a win win for me.
Love the field of puff balls, I bet it looked lovely when all the bright yellow heads were lifted to the sun. Such a shame they are invasive weeds when they have such a lovely flower.
Not so your other flowers in your garden, our peonies have finished now and the azalea in the back garden got burnt by the sunny weather we had (not now, it is back to winter and cold and windy). Enjoy yiours!
Hugs, Neet xx
