GOT JO'S TAG BOOK!

Package from Australia! Got my tag book swap from Jo yesterday. So thought I would post about it today! Great green and white tissue paper. The tag book came in this container. Lot of lovely detail in the package. First tag sweet little boy.Great Paris tag, the second one.Third tag says it all!!I saved this cute little guy that was the stamp on the package. Jo did a lot of sewing on this project. I can sew but don't do it, but looking at Jo's maybe I should incorporate some in my projects. Have to dig out my machine. Went to Mike's and HL yesterday but was just too late for the bargains. Everything was gone , and they were stocking spring stuff.
They also had valentine stuff out. Only a couple things 40% off. HL had some Tim Holtz at 30% off so I got a package of fragments. Stopped at a different WM and found a few Christmas sticker type things for next year they were 48 cents. And that was all my after Christmas bargains. Bummer :( Going to check for yard sales this AM and maybe make a quick trip to Jo-Anne's I do have a 40% off and a 10% off total purchase. I am really wanting a Big Shot and wonder if I could get it with these coupons...that would make it 50% off...works for me. lol Thanks Jo so much for being my swap partner I love it. That's all for now thanks for looking and come back soon

TAG BOOK SWAP

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Got my book tag swap from Jo from Australia. The swap was hosted by Jean at http://lilaclanelivery.blogspot.com/ . We were to make a 3 or 4 page tag book with a container. Here is mine. I used a muslin bag (not made by me) and added a charm to it. Put a few stamped butterfly's on it. Close up of the glass bead charm. The first tag in the book I stamped with a dress form stamp, an over all dot stamp, and a Paris stamp. Added some blue checked tissue paper, and some pattern tissue. Then cut a cute girl from a vintage pattern, put a button on her shoulder. Also added a button to the dress form. Second page I stamped all over with my crackle stamp. Stamped a few bird cages. The black bird cage is an acrylic one that I got in a swap. I glued it down then penned the chain to hang it. Some dot tissue added to the bottom. Third page I stamped a little script stamp some girly shoes, a Pairs stamp and some pretty pink rose lace. Cut the pink girl again from a vintage pattern and added the button. Fourth one I think is so cute with the flower button faces. At leas that's what I think they look like little button faces! Crackled the back ground stamped with some out door and garden stamps. Added some rose lace.
Fun again making this tag book, I think Jo is a sewer and I tried to get some sewing in there. Me I am not much of a sewer I can but don't do much. Soon as I get mine from Jo I will post about that also. I still have a couple swaps to get yet. Family left yesterday so Pearl and I are headed out to Mikes and HL this AM. Hope all the good deals are not gone! Jo's blog is http://scrapnstitch.blogspot.com/
All for now thanks for looking and come back soon.
Blessings
