Vintage Tag Book

I was looking for some pretty paper yesterday in my craft room

and turned to a plastic tub containing K & Co papers.

Inside, along with the pretty papers was this tag book

 I made a few years ago.

I made it from a DVD by Wendie Rhodes called

'Cards, Boxes, Bags & Tags The EAZI Way'

She describes it as being similar to a

four fold concertina card.

Anyway, I made the basic book and naked tags which I cut by

hand as at that time I never had a Big Shot or any tag dies.

Once made, I just filed the book away in the tub.

So, being the easily distracted and fickle type of crafter that I am,

I totally forgot why I was looking for the papers yesterday and decided

to decorate the naked tags instead!

This gave me an opportunity to pull out loads of images

and scraps I've accumulated over the years

and to do some simple collage.

I think I always ponder too long over what should go where

whenever I attempt collage, but keeping it simple,

I quite like the results of the tags.

Here's what the back of the book looks like.

It's a nice feeling to complete something I started years ago!

Shame I can't do that with several pieces of cross stitches

I have stashed away somewhere!

Now, I really should go outside to the glorious sunshine

while it's still here!

Hope your day is sunny too x
