I have never tried to do tags before so this was my first foray (as with the ATC playing card challenge) into playing with paper.
The pictures are free downloads from a lovely blog owned by Jody of Home and heart.
Each Friday Jody hosts a selection of picture images that you can download to your computer and these are some that I spotted a while ago.
I matched up four flower prints and four images of girls and then delved into my stash of ribbons, lace and beads to embellish with. I really had fun making this and am pleased how the book has turned out. It has now been sent off in the post and I hope my partner will like it too.
I used thin satin ribbon and a pearl and glass bead trinket to attach the tags altogether at the top and of course each tag has a butterfly on it somewhere too.

And the corresponding backs.
