Huge thanks to AQ for the quiz and to all those who sent items for the prizes.....you are stars.

Looks lovely. Can you explain to me the reason for having the 2 tags stuck together like that.

JayzMummy · 24/06/2006 16:45

They are stuck together so they form mini tag books....decorate the front and then inside decorate and add a piccie etc etc

I have made one with more tags....just be careful not to add too many or else you run the risk of the book looking too heavy and bulky.
I recently made one for a wedding party and extended the 12x6 sheet so the concertina was larger....more tags were added and the bride it passed around each table during the wedding feast....guests added a small message to each tag

Not sure what to put in the book - pondering whether to fill it with DSs first 5 years...
(ooo it's a bit like scrapbooking... I've resisted so far)


I have seen the kit in the Costco mag, but not 'in the flesh'

nahh!! everything will just blend and you'll just use everything all together, and you've got the costco papers already!!

your skills will be brill for scrapping. And besides (ds1 word lol) scrappin is done in many sizes.

you'd be fantastic at minibooks and accordian/tag books. your carding style will work fantastically in them

I betcha you can do a l/o with all the bits you've got already!! go on..... I double dare ya.... TRIPPLE dare ya

Mine's been given to Sam as a bribe, but I am going to make another couple (bought some rafia today in WHSmiths new craft range- will miss canny Crafts but this range will help). Will post then. Giving one to ds2, and keeping one. I am going to use the tags to collect memotries by writing little 'things they say' on the front, then putting a photo of the originating son in the inside. i don't really 'do' mementoes bit i do like sayings.
