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!

Each page is edged with
Vintage Photo Distress Ink so there is a complementary feel as you look through the book.

The month name and phrases are typed on my laptop and printed out, before being edged in
Vintage Photo.

To colour in the under sea animals I used
water brushes filled with
Dylusions Inks.

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
