Birdsong Tag Book Swap - WIPs

The wonderful Karla from Karla's Cottage is once again hosting a tag book swap. I had so admired the last one she did and since I love making tags, I just had to take part in this one. Gotta say I admire Karla's energy, over 100 participants in this swap, and all the other stuff she has on the go as well.......... quite amazing.

Anyhoo, I have started my tags, they are not completely finished yet, they still need a couple of little touches and I am also waiting for something to arrive, hopefully in time, which I think will be so cute for the tags. So here are my little WIPs -


For these first two tags I scanned in two original Victorian scraps which I had bought a while ago, I thought there were perfect for the birdsong theme -


Wish I could remember where I got the graphic from, if you recognise it as yours, please let me know so that I can give you credit -




Thats it so far. Now I am going to make a cup of tea, put my feet up for ten mins and relax. I am slightly frazzled, lol. I went to a boot fair at lunchtime, and walked around for 1 1/2 hours, and just as I got home, DS phoned and told me that 3 new geocaches had been placed! As soon as he got back, we set off, and spent another 1 1/2 hours wombling, traipsing through fields this time. And boy, was it hot! Well, hot for us.

Have a fabulous weekend! Toodlepip, xxx

Well can't wait for them to be totally completed but I don't think anymore is required - they are absolutely superb - have a great weekend!

Oh they are so beautiful Liz, they look wonderful just as they are, but I'm sure whatever you add to them will make them even better (if that is possible?)

Beautiful tags Liz - and a great swap. I did see this and would have joined in but can't commit to anything just at the moment because of health problems. Looking forward to seeing what you get back.

It's blimmin hot here today as well, I swear we are having spring instead of autumn or even winter. I'm not going to tell mother nature that she's stuffed up! Anyway I must say how much I adore your new birdsong tags. They would make such sweet bookmarks too. You are such a clever lady. Must catch up soon. Perhaps tomorrow?
