12 Tags of 2012 - June

I think the only problem with doing the '12 Tags of 2012' is that it highlights how quickly the year is whizzing past!  It's June already-cannot believe it. Anyway back to the tag. I just thought 'wow' when I saw Tim's new tag & it incorporates a photo so just up my street.  I just love old photos which is probably why I have such a huge collection at home. It's going to take me years to catalogue them all but that's fine - I just love it.

I followed most of Tim's instructions but as usual made a few alterations as I didn't have all of his goodies. I'll just mention them.  I moved the tissue tape from top right to top left. Found an old paper clip embellishment & added a 'C' for Clive. I didn't want a flower so made a rosette out of scrap paper & added a We Are Memory Keepers 'smile' embellishment which I thought looked quite 'vintage' photo. Would you believe, no silver paper clips in the house so I used a white one & added a diamond gem to the top. The rubber stamps I used were TH Visual Artistry 'The Journey' & 'Lost and Found' (thank you Mary for lending me this one!). I had some old metal numbers so coloured the '5' in Snow Cap & the 'Adorable' was an old one I found in my box. I think that covers the differences. The photo is my husband Clive (hence the letter 'C') taken in the garden where we live when he was about 5 years old (hence the '5'). I just loved colouring this photo. He told me that he was sooo happy with this dressing up kit.  He looks so cute & he reminds me of the 'Milky Bar Kid'!! The metallic star embellishment also reminds me of a 'Sherrifs' badge - what a coincidence! Sx
