Spring flowers
I'm back joining Art Journal Journey's host this month, Alison (aka Craftytrog). Alison has chosen the theme Pockets and Tags.
Today I have a page I'll soon be adding to my Scraps altered book. Unfortunately, first, I have to find where I left it.
Note the two tags I made.
I wanted something other than ribbon through the hole, so I took some lace and doubled it, then sewed it to cover each of the holes. Now it will be easy to remove the tags from the pocket.
For this page, I began by creating a pocket made from two pages of flowery paper. I added the ribbon I was gifted by my friend CJ. Sadly, I didn't sew it straight. But that's a story for another day. I sewed the assembly to a sheet of lime green cardstock, then added the tags I made using lace and gifted images.
I'm so glad you stopped by today. Thanks so very much for joining me and I hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.

Lovely tag and nice sewing, great idea with the lace. It's still early morning here, but the wind is blowing up a storm! Have a nice day! Valerie
Very beautiful! This could be a perfect idea for an Advent-Caledar with each tag having a wish/allowance!
I used to make those calendars for my Nieces, but with diabetis 1 hitting the big Niece it´s difficult and my Brother gave a no to nic-nacks like little books and stuff. Sad.
Would be fun to add tags like: "Today Daddy does the dishes for you" and such! LOL - I´d be safe in Braunschweig! :-)
very nice and creative journal, I love this romantic kind!
Greetings Elke
This is such a pretty project Elizabeth, you have chosen the perfect combination of colours, the lace adding that special touch 💚💝
I agree, lace is the finishing touch! Very pretty!
A really pretty page, I love how you added the lace, makes it look quite feminine and romantic.

They look fabulous.

I do like the lace on those tags and on the bottom of your page. It creates some super texture. And your page has a great feminine feel-and that nice modern bright green background. I love that color! Hope it was a great day Elizabeth. Hugs-Erika
Pretty and cheerful! :)
Ooohh, how sweet and beautiful. Really nice idea, Elizabeth.
Have a happy day xx
What a pretty page with all that lace, and what a great idea to use lace for the tag pulls. This is so pretty I hope you find the missing book before too long.
Hugs, Neet x
