This
morning the cosiness of my craft room beckoned to me and there I spent a
delightful few hours creating with pretty papers and listening to soundtracks
from Pride & Prejudice, North &
South and Emma…
With
the hum of the sewing machine as Nancy worked on a beautiful piece of fabric
artwork, I made my favourite gift tags by happily tearing pieces of book paper
and carefully cutting tiny flower motifs from scrap pieces of fabric…
I
then printed the sentiments ‘For You’, ‘With Love’ and ‘Thank You’ in
coordinating papers and finished off each tag with a length of beautiful blue
baker’s twine… How I enjoy using baker’s
twine in my crafting and sewing projects!
The colours are so striking when intertwined with white!
By
the end of my crafting session I had three packs of six gift tags each, featuring
birds and gorgeous blooms in a faded blue...
I
love the old fashioned charm of these sweet tags and the uniqueness of each
one.
When
needing a little something to finish off a small gift, I select the appropriate
tag and write the recipient’s name on the back in my finest hand.
Now…I
think a few vintage green tags will be my next project…
With love,
Kelly-Anne
