Before putting away the Holly Jolly collection, I decided to make a tag with it... and it turned into making a full series using the leftover Bits & Pieces and patterned papers.
What got me going putting together so many was that I pulled the Stitched Oval Scalloped Frames dies and since I wanted the frame to be a different colour from the center, I cut it twice. I was not liking the colour combo against my patterned paper, so I tried a couple of other options and so I ended up with a lot of leftover pieces that I decided to use on other tags, hence the final tally of 7 tags. A lot of the ephemera pieces were also pretty small, so the size was working out better on tags than on cards. I've commented on my last post that the patterned papers are quite tricky to use together. I'll add that the ephemera images are a very random assortment as well. It goes from a moped to trees to a house to a whisk and cake... It's all over the map. I'm a big fan of Simple Stories, but this collection is a little bit of a head-scratcher to me.
