Books



Its amazing seeing the huge variety of tags being made for Tag Tuesday. I love to look at them all - its such a shame it's not possible time wise to comment on every single one.




I had fun making this tag. I love to use actual tags from clothes my family or I have bought. If they come home with something new .... after I have admired it (!) I have to ask 'What's the tag like?'

This one is actually made from a gorgeous striped material, from a pair of jeans I got at the weekend from The White Stuff. Their labels are as nice as their clothes!

The image was from a book, I inked around the edges for a bit of definition, and then stuck it onto a strip of text from another book that I had stuck on the tag. I added a vintage travel ticket at the bottom to give her a bit of height and then added a piece of lace and some pretty rub ons.

I tore the title 'Golden Days' from the book and coloured around the edges. I added eyelets for the ribbon and continued them around the tag for balance. Done.

I'm thinking of using the tag on a card for my mumx

I love all the new spring themes Carolyn has choosen..... I'm thinking greens, yellows, pinks and blues :)

  1. Great color scheme on your tag-- well done! And that is a really cool tag. Enjoy GWTW this summer-- it's very long but worth the time!
