Youhoo !! Hi, Hello there, G'day Bonjour, Gutentag, Ciao, Hola,
How is everyone on this fine (well I hope it is where you are) Bank holiday Monday? enjoying doing something you like, I hope.
Ok so that's the pleasantries out of the way, now down to business!
I am listening to Glen Campbell while I sit here playing on my blog, I would insert a smiley face here if I only knew how :-) best I can do lol.
As you can see I have managed to make this months T!m tag, pretty much as per his instructions here.
I used the oval frame from the Tag and Book plates die and used the same technique as T!m used on January's Pocket Watch Tag,
I liked how it turned out but it did seem to take up more space on the tag and I was limited then on how many embellishments I could fit on. I didn't have T!ms wallflower paper stack so used Docrafts Madame Payrauds paper line and shock horror you will no doubt have spotted the imposter trying to blend in as a bona fide T!m trinket, yep the heart wings lol, in my defence they were just the right size and hey I like them ! I used Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord and edged with Frayed Burlap DI though in the photo's my tag looks very pink. Love the new shadow press de-bossing folders, you get a great look and there are some fab words.
I have just spotted in my photo's that the trinket pin is missing from the top of the tag, all I can say is that it refused point blank to be seen on the same tag as "the imposter" and muttered something about did I not know about it's famous lineage, or maybe it's just because I forgot!!
So, overall I enjoyed making T!m's May tag, it was a little bit fiddly and I can't tell you how many times I moved everything round trying to find the right place for each piece but I suppose there isn't really a right or wrong way and I'm fairly happy with the end result so it's all good and I'm looking forward to the next one.
I'm now off to see if I can upload it over at T!m's place and have a shufty at everybody else's masterpieces. Glen has packed his guitar away and is heading off back to the homestead so I will say ta ta for now. Take care and
Happy Art making

Hi Lottie, it is so lovely to see someone else doing pinky hues, I love your tag. When Tim said to use our favourite bits and pieces I don't think he expected us to use all of his stuff so you are definitely fine with the beautiful trinket, it does fit in well! Hope you got it loaded up OK - if not, let me know and I will try to help! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteHowdy! Your tag turned out just wonderful and I have to say I am a real big Glen Campbell fan. I highly recommend this album (it's my current favorite): Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb - In Session
ReplyDeleteLottie, your Timmy Tag is flawless! The imposter does fit right in and to my eye, the whole thing is just great! Or, better yet, the tag itself say it: it's beautiful!! Hugs, Darnell
