Tag Album Mini

I know I haven't been on here in a while. But, that doesn't mean that I haven't been busy. I want to share a mini album I made some time ago.



I received a Crumble Tag Class Kit from Lead Fiskateer Cheryl Water #002. It featured Vintage Street Marketplace paper, large shipping tag, crepe paper, smooch and embellishments.


I added a few more items like a file folder, McCalls dress pattern, Fiskars; EK Success; & McGill punches, ribbon, lace, brads, Sizzix diecuts, Ranger Tim Holz Distress ink, Acrylic paint, DMC floss and a printable or 2(dress & Dress form) from Sweetly Scrapped Art. Then turned my tag into an album.

(not all the items used are shown here)

I used my mom as inspiration. I scanned some pictures of her and her friends from back in the day. Why? Because she made all of her dresses and some for her friends as well. She then taught my sister and me to sew; with and without patterns.
