Tag Book

Yay!  It's Monday!  That means that there's a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  This week the challenge is to "make the cut". Use your die cutting system and/or punches to create a project.  This week I used my Avery Elle "Simply Tags" die to create a vintage inspired mini book.

 I love to use vintage ephemera in my projects whenever possible, so when I found a damaged old children's reader, I knew that I could repurpose some of the pages. And that's what I did!

I cut the pages using the tag die.  This worked beautifully!  I was able to cut sections that had images on both sides.  I collaged the pages with papers and stenciling.  (This also help cover some of the crayon marks and imperfections on the original page.)

When I was pleased with the tags, I arranged them accordion style on a double sided paper that I scored.  And bound them with a cover.  A simple piece of twine was all that was needed for the books closure. 

I love that sweet Jenni Bowlin flair!
