Thank you for your good wishes following my
accident - I'm on the mend though I've been "reassured" I'll take months to heal and so, for the foreseeable future I'm crafting one handed! For my first project back I wanted to make a
tag book and this is it! Each page is coloured with
Dylusions Inks and stencils with a mixture of Dylusion,
Tim Holtz,
Wendy Vecchi and
JoFy stamps. I apologise that there's a few photos... I couldn't decide what I could leave out!

| January, March, May |
Each page is edged with
Vintage Photo Distress Ink so there is a complementary feel as you look through the book.
 |
| February, April, June |
The month name and phrases are typed on my laptop and printed out, before being edged in
Vintage Photo.
 |
| July, September, November |
To colour in the under sea animals I used
water brushes filled with
Dylusions Inks.
 |
| August, October, December |
For the cover I used Tim Holtz
Idea-Ology and Wendy Vecchi
Art Parts which take Dylusions Inks beautifully! The binder is wonderful
Ruler Binder kit with a little Vintage Photo ink added to knock back the 'just out of the packaging' look!
I hope you like my tag book and that you feel inspired to have a go yourself - if you add a quotation or saying you could enter it into this month's
Country View Crafts challenge... Just saying! Oh! To prempt the question which are my favourite pages...!!!
Ouch Gabrielle - I hadn't heard about your accident but hope you are well and truly on the mend now. And for someone working one-handed, you've done a brilliant job of your tag book - each page is a delight. Margie x
