...Mmm, so not perhaps what I eat...that certainly can't be looked as a "staple" diet...but...I did go completely bonkers with a Tiny Attacher when I made this tag :O) Hence...the staples!
The tag started out as a sort of copy of the Tims 12 Tags of Christmas version but without the Christmas and using just the Mini Stamps from the collection...and then blending different colour DI's over each image. The centre piece is a Memory Frame complete with a Memory Capsule filled with beads n bits n bobs...and a I made a mountboard back for it, stamped with a TH collection stamp too. Check out the ickle birdy...isn't he just toooo cute...I got him ages ago and have been waiting for something to use him on.
So, yesterday! Blimey, imagine the look on my ugly mush when I woke up to see a fair blizzard falling from the sky...never one to be deterred by a bit of snow, I hastened to the NEC, which is pretty close to where I live so it was only about an hour for me to drive...*and no, I wasn't driving like the clappers!!* I got the chance to meet Claudine Hellmuth...oh yes! The woman who made my crafty life by making Traditional Tan paint...and of course, I had to tell her that I love her paints and her art...even admitting I am on my 11th pot of the paint ROFL She is sooo sweet, and I found out that she is on QVC UK tomorrow at 2pm...so I will be tuning it to watch! I also met Suze Weinberg again...and took a photo of her and Jennie...which she has blogged ...and then I saw some crafting bloke called Tim who had a fair throng of peeps around him...but I did get to see the new Distress Ink colours...all of which are DIVINE and I need them all ... like NOW! The new Tim papers look FAB (neeed them)...and the new Idea-ology is pretty much perfect( neeeed them too)... But I have to say, the highlight of my day (apart from spending time with Jennie) was meeting Wendy from The Stamp Attic...who is soooo lovely...even if she did try to get a mugshot of me LOL
Thanks for looking...have a good week...tis snowing here still...brrrr....time to get the fire set and lit I reckon...I shall go and call for Grim to do this cos it is such a mucky job!

Another fabulous tag Hels. Love all the colours and the time capsule. That little birdie is, as you say, very cute.
We had lots of snow here yesterday which turned to ice overnight AGAIN! Guess which stupid person has landed on her bum twice while taking the dog for a walk? Yup, me and I'm now nursing a very swollen foot! Grrrr!
Take care if you go out.

I am not meant to be doing this as am at work but couldn't resist. So you enjoyed the show then? Will have to find those pics of you. I was thinking of you (and Linda) when every news/weather bulletin yesterday talked about snow and travel disruptions in Brum!!
The tag is GREAT, so fantastic.

This tag is beautiful! I am in Michigan and we got about 8-10 inches of snow yesterday so I agree, enough already!
