Keys and Tags ! and another dogs dinner !

What an afternoon I've had ! R & B ( Rosy and Bailey ) the paper eating mutts decided it was time to have another  paper eating frenzy. As usual they waited until I had completed my little masterpiece and  while I was in search of the camera they mauled it !!! It's my fault of course I left it in harms way, it even crossed my mind that they might try a little sabotage so only have myself to blame. The two of them are now in hiding I can hear them somewhere muttering and trying to form an escape plan !

I have had to redo my masterpiece in fact now it is a little gem ( how many masterpieces can a woman create in one afternoon ?) Of course after I had finished the light started fading and had the age old problem of where to take the picture ! They both ended up being taken on my balcony in a plant pot hanging from a leaf !!!!.  ( not me the photo's) To top the lot I Photo wont let me crop the second picture so please excuse background. What's worse is that the second of the two tags the Crafty Individuals stamp I have used looks non existent but I assure you it's there !
 For those of you who haven't met the dastardly duo here is a picture of them avoiding eye contact with me !

I want to enter these tags for two challenges (maybe I should enter the dogs might get more comments that way ) The Three Muses this week has keys as their theme , I love their site the always have interesting challenges and this weeks is no exception.

Also Frankie over at Dragons Dream Tag it On  has a theme of A Tag by any other shape. Not sure if this fits the bill it is in theory tag shape but the tag and the keys have been cut out in one piece so Frankie let me know.........

So just to sum up .....Two dodgy tags  (second attempt ) poor visibility, unable to crop and two dogs on the run ! Hope you had a better afternoon than I did.

Until next time............

Marie

  14. Little toe-rags - butter wouldn't melt... Whilst reading your post I got to thinking about what your neighbours must think of you - hanging tags on plants and taking photos - is tha the act of a sane woman!!! Lovely tags - my favourite by a very short hair is the green one :) Nice to see a photo of the terrible duo. Have a great week. Elizabeth x

  17. Fantastic pieces, Marie!

    Those two little guys look TOTALLY guilty!

  18. Marie, these turned out great, in spite of the naughty puppies! Okay, Yvonne is correct, especially the one on the right--he REALLY looks guilty . . .

    :)

  19. These are great tags! I could see how the doggies would want to eat something so colorful and pretty. They do look guilty, don't they? They are avoiding looking you in the eye, just like a couple of naughty kids.

  25. Gorgeous tags, naughty dogs, Marie! (but loveable, I bet!)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh this made me laugh, I know I shouldn't but I can just see them happily shaking the tags wildly in their mouths. I bet they had as much fun eating them as you did making them!!!!!!! The tags WERE absolutely gorgeous by the way...Sue x

  28. What a funny post Marie, it did make me laugh - especially seeing the culprits avoiding eye contact with the camera!

    Your tags are beautiful anyway - especially the second one.

  30. Both of your tags are gorgeous, Marie. Thank you for sharing them, and your trials and tribs at the Muses this week and send those doggies to bed for being naughty!

  31. Beautiful tags! the little dogs obviously feel any attention is better than none. I am been used as a human scratching post lately to make a kitty point. Now you know you can't leave anything in harms way. LOL

  34. What a hoot! Marie, both your tags are so beautiful. You certainly know how to overcome adversity. The photo of Rosy and Bailey shows a bit of nervousness and perhaps guilt. Maybe they like the taste of the paints and inks you use.

  39. Your tags are lovely! And I can relate to how you feel with that dastardly duo eating your masterpieces. My cat loves to chew and shred paper. I keep telling him he's lucky he's good looking, or he'd be in serious trouble. ;-)
