Tag a long time.


 

Good morning and can you believe we are now in August, its mad, its also the month of my eldest son's birthday, he will be 49 this time, he still looks 21, I told him I am carrying all the wrinkles for these three :))


Ok, on with why I am here. I made this tag as a little distraction, its quite simple really, see what you think.


I will be entering this into the Tag along and ATC challenge HERE however, I only just read on there about specifying everything you have used, well I hate to disappoint but some of my stash is stuff I have had for years and no longer know where it came from, so, if that counts me out, then fair enough, sorry to say but I will try and label where I can....( not a big rule follower...naughty me !!! )

As you can see, black card, the DP is from a pack I think I bought on eBay and the wording and butterflies are from a rub on sheet  I think they were 49 and market. The metal bar at the bottom was Amazon buy, the black leather cord is a bundle  I still have left from Amazon also, thats all I know phew, like hard work, hahaha

A bit closer, the words are from Tims best book, you know who I mean, he is the only one I ever really mention and am sure of.
Thats all, I hope you all have a good weekend, I think the sun is doing a quick show at some point, that will be nice won't it. Happy August all.

Beautiful tag Janette, the butterflies and wording fit those lovely papers so perfectly I thought it was just one paper.
49! Hope he has a lovely birthday, my daughter will be 47 this year- how the time goes. Remember Janette, wrinkles merely indicate where the smiles have been- that's what I tell myself anyway! xx

Gorgeous tag Janette, who doesn't love a Butterfly or two.

So sorry about the rules, sadly some challenges have had problems because people used Copyright items so we have to be so careful. But you do mention the source, it's images from the internet and re-purposed which create the main issues as far as I know.

Such a charming tag, Janette! The contrast of the black background with those delicate butterflies and thoughtful wording creates such a striking effect. I love how you’ve layered textures and elements with such ease—it feels both bold and heartfelt. And your commentary gave me a good chuckle; rules are overrated when creativity shines this brightly!

It looks so pretty Janette and you have mentioned everything you need to. I also have stash from years ago and in those days we did not need to mark where it came from as we had perfect memories!! Not anymore. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Tag-along (and ATCs).

A beautiful creation no matter where the stuff came from. Love the metal bar addition. My son is 49 this year too, where have the years gone. He also has hardly a line on his face and looks like a teenager. We must have been great mothers? hahaha x
