November 24th

Posted on by ModGirl

I have decided to not renew my web hosting when it comes time to renew it. So, November 24th will be the last day that this site will be online. I will be closing my website down for good and the only way you’ll be able to contact me in the future is by email or phone.

It’s been a blast having a website and being able to update it every time I feel like it with new posts and to show off new tags I made. But I do have an online group and you’ll be able to chat with me in there anytime you feel like it. Or just grab my email address located in the top right hand corner of the page and use it to send me an email if you feel like it.

Over the years I have enjoyed having my own website and being able to share with others my graphics, my tags, scrapbook freebies, etc… but it’s time to move on and do other things for a change. I love crafting, sewing and art and sitting at the computer has always limited those activities for me. Hopefully that will change when I no longer have to worry about updating a website all the time or writing posts all the time to tell everyone what I’ve been doing.

I want to thank all my visitors over the years and I do plan on opening a new online group to share my graphics, scrap kits and tubes that I have made over the years. Joining the group will be FREE and as a member all you have to do is sit back and download whatever I send by email through the group.

Now since I still enjoy making signature tags I do have my tag group called “Tag Extras” where I’ll also be offering my tags for request along with all my sets of tag extras too. But at the moment the tag group is for all members to share and I might change it later so members don’t have to share if they don’t want to. I know some just want my tags and don’t want any tag extras so I will consider that when I make my decision about that later.

Anyway, if you think you’d like to join my online group where I share all my graphics, scrap kits and tubes I will post the link to that group the first part of November here at my site. You might want to keep checking if and when I add that link here. And you won’t want to miss any of the stuff I’ve made over the years, lol.

Thanks for stopping by and hugs,

Tag Extras

Posted on by ModGirl

Okay, so we’re going to try this again. I have reopened my tag extras group and it’s open to ALL members. And participation IS required once a week. Now, if you join and do not send anything within 24 hours of joining, you will be removed from the group. Period. I am done trying to be nice about online groups. I look at it this way, if you want to collect and be part of a group then you must also be willing to contribute to it. Because it’s not fair to all those other members who DO share once a week.

So, I added a link button to my sidebar but if you’re too lazy to look for it, well here’s the link for you:

https://groups.google.com/g/tag-extras

Now, If by chance you have a problem joining the group, you can leave a comment on this post and let me know about it. I will then send you an invite so you can accept it and become a member that way. But remember, you have 24 hours to send something or you’ll be removed from the group.

And did I mention WHAT is allowed to be shared?  Blank tags, tag extras, dotw tags, forum tags, tag backs, tag templates and TAG OFFERS too can be shared in the group. And ANY MEMBER can send tag offers. You don’t need any special permission to do that in this group! We allow SAC and AC tags but please remember to label those BEFORE sending.

And another thing, some people (like myself) who make tag extras OR send tag offers might also offer rules or a terms of use  that comes with the tags they make. Remember to READ those rules and abide by them because if you don’t, well… again, you’ll be removed from the group.

A New Tag

Posted on by ModGirl

So, sometimes I like to go through my PTU tube folder and see what I can make using these old tubes I purchased long ago. Yesterday while I was busy creating tags for members of  a tag group I stopped and made a new tag. I really like how this one turned out and it might seem simple to some but I like it just fine.

Now that reminds me of something else I wanted to talk about. I have been seeing lots of tags come through groups and on these tags are LOTS of images. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with that but every once in awhile I’ll see a tag and think, man, that seems a little overkill with all those added images on the tag.

Is this starting to become the new norm where sig tags are concerned? Because if it is, I might need to reconsider  the way I make my tags in the future. Anyway, that’s my thought for the day, lol. Thanks for stopping by and hugs,

Holiday Tags Showoff

Posted on by ModGirl

Sitting at my computer yesterday with my Paint Shop Pro open, I thought about what kind of tag I wanted to make next and decided to look through my tube folder of all the Holiday themed graphics I’ve been making recently. I found a few images that I wanted to use. One from my Halloween folder and 2 from my Saint Patrick Day folder.

So, I got busy making a couple of new tags. This Halloween themed tag started out as a cluster frame that I found in a digital scrap kit folder off my external hard drive. Since it was Halloween themed I decided to see what I could make with it and I think this tag turned out pretty good. What do you think?

And this last tag was created using 2 of the images from my Saint Patrick Day graphics folder. The background papers I used are from that graphic site where I have a paid subscription and I also used a tag template that I had on one of my external hard drives too.

Using a tag template is something I used to do years ago but I never use them anymore. So when I was making this particular tag I decided to look through my tag template folder of all the tag templates I had collected over the years and 1 stood out so I decided to use it. And I must say, I am surprised at how much I like this tag. Maybe I should consider using more of these tag templates in the future, lol.

New Tags

Posted on by ModGirl

I created some new tags recently and thought I would show them off today. This first tag was created using images from that subscription site where I have a paid subscription. When I was searching through the site for cute dogs I came across this cutie and knew I had to make a new tag using it. The background I used for the layered mask is also from that site too. I wanted the tag to show case the image of the dog and that’s why I kept this tag simple.

This next tag was created using one of the images I created. This image (along with many others) has been added to my paid subscription area. You can learn more about my paid subscription area HERE.
