12 Tags of 2015- May Tag

Hello and Welcome Dear Reader,
Firstly, my apologies for being a bit late with posting my May Tag!!
It's not that I'm lazy. HONEST! I've just had A LOT on my plate lately. But I promise you, everything is slowly coming down to "acceptable crazy" levels rather than "all-out crazy busy".

On with the show...here is Tim's Tag for May:

I knew as soon as I saw this tag that my grandmother's passport picture, that I have had in my drawer not knowing what to do with it, was going to be the feature item here. I also loved the idea of having a fabric tag..this was going to be a GOOD ONE!!

Here is how mine turned out:

I would say this month's tag was more a collage type- use-up- your- bits- and-pieces tag than an actual learning- a- new- technique tag. But Im ok with that!! I have drawers of bits and bobs!!

Just a closer look at my beautiful Nanna...Rest In Peace darling Nanna..we will be together soon God- Willing.....

Buttons and flowers!!! My scrappin' heaven!

I love the quote!

I lifted it word for word from Tim's tag using my computer.

Now here is my problem, this is supposed to be for a swap and I just know in my heart I can't give this away. So I had to make another one:

This one is just as beautiful, but I can happily give this one away to my swap partner. 

Talk about sentimental value!! It really exists.

I found this beautiful image on the net and used Mod Podge to glue and seal it. I then added glossy accents to give it a bit more dimension. When I came upon it the next morning, it had cracked. I dont really mind it because it adds to the vintage of the piece. 

And here are the tags side-by-side.

Same but different. I love them both.

Oh and for once, I actually got my tag from my partner before I got my blog up so I can show you what I received. I LOVE IT...Thank you Helen.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Comments are cherished and welcome below.

Happy crafting
