Birthday Tags
These set of 3 tags were made on wood pieces. Decorative Paper was attached as the background on both side. On the edge I used a nail filer to give it a antiqued finish. I used victorian girl images printed on card stock, attached it with Scotch Quick dry Adhesive. I love to embellish with flowers and hang the tags with seam binding.

Getting into to the blog

"Follow your heart and you'll never get lost"

In this tag, I use decorative card stock that has images on both sides. I used a butterfly holepunch for the bottom right. I have found crouche flower that I coffee stained to make it vintage. The image is a victorian girl from a cd I bought via ebay (definitelely recommend getting a cd). I love using vintage music paper. In my town, there's a whole street of antiques and etc. to find pieces to apply to altered art. Also, YARD SALES!!! Always find different pieces there. I love using seam binding to hang the tags. The tags are great around the home to brighten up a door knob or calander, can be used on gifts, also I love attaching them to wine bottles for dinner parties.

Welcome

I finally started up a blog! I want to thank my mom, Nancy, for her encouragement and inspiration (also for tons of supplies she always sends home with me). I've been doing crafts with my mom since a child. I can remember my first sewing machine and making scrunchies for my hair and making them for friends. Then the next projects were headbands and bags, then I learned to sew shirts/quilts/dresses/curtains. I just recentely got into doing paper crafts and it's so enjoyable. I am a registered nurse in an ICU and it can be very stressful. It is such a gift to be able to come home and have a relaxing hobby. I also have a wonderful boyfriend, Chris, who is so supportive towards every aspect of my life and who also encourages me to be happy in whatever I do. I have two wonderful dogs who are the best friends you can ask for. I have an American Eskimo, Max, who does not stop playing and hogging all the toys. And then I have a Sheltie, Rocky, who is the complete opposite that is lazy and hogs all the food.

Check out my etsy shop of PrimitiveDaisy. All of my crafts are hand-made from a smoke-free home. They are vintage-inspired and most trims are vintage. Also, if anyone has a custom order I would be more than happy to accept them. I can take personal photographs and use the original or make a reprint to make a tag.
