Last Morgan's ArtWorld Challenge

Happy Friday and May 1st!
The first of the month brings on a new challenge at
Morgan's ArtWorld. 

This is our last challenge.
Morgan's Shop has been closed.

If you care to participate the theme is
ANYTHING GOES.
You can enter creations with any images from any company.

My inspiration card was created with
Winter 7.


Although this is a so called "winter" image, I
tried to bring it into spring.
She is colored with pencils and fussy cut.
I had this cut and embossed piece sitting on my desk (a discard from another project)
so ,though I would put it to use.

Does this ever happen to you?
You start a project, don't like where it's going and
start over with something else?
I'm sure everyone experiences that at one time or another!

Anyway, I inked the embossing and background in the opening.
I tucked the image in and added a die cut sentiment.
A green mat was added behind to complete.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!




Celebrate Your Graduate with a Shaker Tag Keepsake

 Graduation season is the perfect time to create something extra special! Judy here and today I’m sharing a fun and festive tag project made with Clear Scraps products! This tag is not only a beautiful embellishment for a gift, but it also doubles as a keepsake your graduate will treasure.


2 products were used:
Shaker Tag Grad Hat
Congrats Chipboard Word Title


For this design, I went all in with bold, celebratory colors—rich reds and shimmering golds—to really capture that proud, milestone moment. The base of the tag is covered with glitter cardstock for instant sparkle and layered with a metallic gold panel to add contrast and elegance.


Glue 3 of the 4 chip rings for the shaker onto the tag base. Add color to the tassel. I used an acrylic paint marker.


Remove film from both sides of one of the acrylic pieces and adhere to the back of the tag.


Add color to the top shaker ring piece. I used an alcohol marker.

Remove film from both sides of the 2nd acrylic piece. Adhere to the back of the top ring piece once paint is dry.

Add shaker elements. Glue top piece to tag.

I added a digi image of a female graduate which I printed, colored and fussy cut.

Paint the Congrats Chipboard Word Title with gold acrylic paint. Adhere on an angle to the bottom of the tag.



At the top, I added ribbon in coordinating tones and finished it off with star accents for a polished look.


This tag is perfect for attaching to a gift bag, hanging on a bottle, or even displaying as part of a graduation party centerpiece. It’s a simple project that makes a big impact and can easily be customized for school colors or personal style.

I hope this inspires you to create something special for the graduates in your life. Handmade touches like this make those big milestones even more memorable!
