Artist Trading Tag Holder Album
I've now made a tag holder album for my Artist Trading Tags, so they have a nice home just before Christmas.
Here are some views of my ATT Tag Holder Album.
This album has been made using Mamelok Relief Die cuts and a mix of varnish with paste for that glossy look.
Here are some views of my ATT Tag Holder Album.

Victorian Era ATTs (Artist Trading Tags)
I have been inspired by this month's Somerset Studio Gallery magazine (Winter 2012) which featured on page 154 Paper Doll Tags.
I really liked the look of these and went through all my paper dolls, but alas none fitted onto my shipping tags I had.
So it was into my Victoriana pieces and there I found what I was looking for! A collection of scraps (relief die cuts from England and Germany).
I had old shipping tags which were then spritzed with a range of Glimmer Mists. Once these tags had dried I teemed them up with what Victorian people I would use. Then I sorted out some tissue and torn this, modge podged it on; sorted out some words, added those to the piece, then overlaid the Victoriana images on top. Other embellishments added were either birds or butterflies, taking special note of ensuring that they were not competing with the faces; then I added a few metal embellishments; a few diamante rubons; stamp inked the edges in black. Waited for it to dry, then sorted colour co-ordinating yarn and attached to the tag. Viola! Here is my collection.
