Tim ended up making 4 tags so you know me........any excuse to make more tags ;-) It turned into a little booklet of tags. Here is tag number 1....
I did not have the gorgeous travel stamps that Tim used but I did have a fab set of sewing ones from Creative Expressions. I also don't own any Distress Markers so I improvised my colour stamping with clever manoeuvring of my Distress Ink pads! Can you see my two tone cotton reels? Here comes tag number 2........
I did make my usual video of how I got from Tim's inspiration to my interpretation but I will have to post that when I get to edit it at the weekend. I really loved adding the little skirts to the dress form images. Tag number 3.....
I found some lovely velvet ric rac in my stash so this tag is very storable! I love that this set of stamps has so many wonderful quotes which were perfect to use on my tags. And last but not least - Tag number 4........
Tag number 4 is actually the back cover of what turned into a little book of sewing tags - Hope Tim doesn't mind all this girly stuff!!!! I loved making this cute little cotton reels and colouring them with the Distress Inks I used for the tags.
This final shot shows how the tags go together to form a little booklet of tags. Don't forget to pop back for the video if you want to know what I did. For more Tim inspired tags please follow this link although Tim won't be there as he is visiting with us here in the UK - I am so excited to be doing a class with the man himself tomorrow afternoon. I will be sure to thank him for all the inspiration.
One of the jobs on my list for today is tidying up the mayhem created by making four tags yesterday and I have a small adjustment to make on the cover tag as I have attached the lacy pom pom a little too close to the hole and I can't quite thread it on to my tag storage (workshop available for sale from my blog or ETSY shop).
Thank you for popping by x
Fabulous work Helen and guess what I am attending Tim's workshop too. Do say hello x

Hi Annie, it was great to meet you and your Mum at the show. I am picturing you both on the train right now with your posh nosh ;-) I think I would have treated my self to a bag of M&S chocolate peanuts!!! I love those they are so more-ish. I am about to blog and share all the fun we had. One of my highlights was definitely everyone I met on the day. I know from blogging how great the crafting community is but it was fab to have it confirmed in real life. I think we were all smiling and giddy all day! I think I might put on my pinny while I post to my blog!!!! Ha ha. Wishing you both a fab week finishing off your tag books!!! I'd be doing mine right now if I didn't have to finish of the woodwork in Callum's room. My Mother in law is coming to stay for a few days and there are paint pots all over the place upstairs!!! Hugs Helen xx

Oh, what a brilliant make... love your feminine take on the August tags - every detail is a delight and the inky stamped backgrounds look great. Will certainly keep my eyes peeled tomorrow - I'm in the afternoon too, and will be hanging around with Annie and Rita!

Thanks Alison x It was lovely to meet you yesterday. I was just commenting to Annie how fab it was to be with everyone. It was a fab atmosphere which was a big part of how wonderful the day was for me. Just off to blog about it all. Might have to do it in instalments ;-) Have a fab time finishing off your tag book I am going to keep my eye out to see how they all turned out. I will have to wait until tomorrow to get on with mine as I have a room to get ready for my Mother in Laws visit......perhaps if I am really efficient...;-) See you in our virtual world. Hugs Helen x

DeleteHi Helen!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and suggesting that cute wee project. I'll definitely have a go at that over the coming days.
Also I'm glad I found your blog. I love your tag projects, they remind me of the scrapbooking I used to do. I love the layering and textures that you've combined together.
