Love Doodles

Posted on by ModGirl

I love drawing doodles and thought I would see what I could make out of some doodle type flowers. I had a lot of fun seeing all the different doodle flowers I could come up with so I decided to use one of those doodles flowers to make a tag and I really like how it turned out. I used some of the backgrounds that I made recently that also match the same colors of the tag. And when I usually create a tag I almost always use only one layer mask for the background. However, for this particular tag I went with 2 different backgrounds. I really like how it turned out and I hope you like the tag as much as I had fun making it.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and hugs,

About Fonts

Posted on by ModGirl

When creating tags I always make sure to use the right font. Now, this can be tricky at times when you have a rather large assortment of fonts to choose from. As a retired web designer / graphic artist, I have collected many font’s over the years either by purchasing them in bulk for my design work or for everyday use. I have so many fonts in fact that I had to burn some to CD’s because they were using so much space on my computer.

When doing any creative work, I always try to use the best font. Any designer who creates graphics for clients knows that using the best font for your design is critical. And you would think that using a font wouldn’t matter that much, but it DOES. For example, if you were creating some serious art work you wouldn’t want to use a cartoon looking font on it, now would you? Nope, it really does make a difference what font you use.

And if you’re not a designer but enjoy making graphics for others or for yourself and need a good font to use then you’ll be glad to know that there are many places online to download fonts. Here are a few links to font sites that offer free fonts. However, most do come with a terms of use so you may want to be sure to use them accordingly.

Did someone say TAGS?

Posted on by ModGirl

Yup, more tags to show off! Seems like I’m on a streak of making tags lately so why not showcase them here for visitors to see?  A few days ago I was looking through some of the journal papers I made and remembered all the pretty flower themed ones. So, I decided to use a couple of those papers to create some new tags. I think they turned out really nice. And I didn’t feel the need to add a bunch of stuff to the tags like elements from a tag kit or other items. Instead I thought the flowers themselves should take center stage so that’s what I did when creating these 2 tags.

This first tag was created using my orange flower journal paper. I really love the flowers and how they look with this simple design.

This next tag was created using my pink flower journal paper and it was also created with a similar simple design. I love these vintage flowers that I made and they make some really beautiful tags.

Besides these 2 flower tags I am also working on some more fashion tags. I made some really pretty women with platinum blonde hair wearing black and white fashionable clothing so I wanted to make some new tags using those. So far they are tuning out really nice and I can’t wait to make some new tags for my members with them. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and hugs, Mod Girl.
