Family Heirlooms

It is really easy to create family heirlooms...These fall tags are 2-sided...

There's space to write on the opposite side.

These make a perfect "extra" to decorate with--a "bring-along" gift if you are going to Thanksgiving dinner...and the hostess can write special notes about this particular Thanksgiving and keep it as a memory for her family.

The graphics are from The Graphics Fairy...and the papers on the back are from a new scrapbooking sheet set that I got...But, use your imagination to come up with something meaningful for the back. Fun!

Brag Monday--"Paris Rose" Tag

Hi Everyone,
This vintage style, mixed media tag has all the “bells and whistles” of this art genre. It contains images of a vintage Bingo card, a handmade rose created from graphics of a vintage church hymnal, as well as a metal brad holding a dangling circular tag.

The center image of the Eiffel Tower is from the Graphics Fairy. The bottom edge is trimmed in delicate ecru-toned, coffee-stained lace. This large 3” X 5” tag could adorn a lamp, be placed inside of a book for display, or be that “extra” touch in a romantic boudoir. The rose, which is 3” in diameter, is the focal point of the piece. This tag has just been placed in my Etsy shop.

"Wander" Tag

This bohemian-style, multi-layered tag was created on grunge
board for Louise’s wonderful Tag Tuesday. It includes batik fabric, fibers, Osnaberg, cheese cloth, tulle, corrugated board, moss, and
twine. Also features a butterfly made from feathers and a glass bottle with miniature beads. And last but not least, there is a shell that I
saved from the beach in Panama City when my husband and I celebrated our 1st anniversary.

Why a butterfly in a beach scene? Because there were butterflies on
the beach when we were there!

The cheese cloth was rolled and glued to simulate the foam of ocean waves (although a little difficult to see here.)

And, of course, I am such a life explorer that the "Wander" metal tag
is indicative of my own spirit of adventure.


Hugs,
Cindy
