I am enjoying making these monthly tags as I love learning new techniques. I like to use what I have on hand, so my tag is not identical to Tim's, but that is part of the fun. Tim used a wooden spool to put his flowers in like a vase. I could see me losing a digit or two trying to sand down a wooden spool, so I turned my flowers into a corsage.
If you haven't tried making some of these tags yet, I would recommend you give one a try. It is always a lot of fun and you will get......INKY!
Have a great day!

This is a great tag...so many great design elements and techniques. I have hunted high and low for old dress patterns at garage sales and Good Will store, not finding many. I guess not many people sew now days, but these old patterns make great embellishments and flowers (so trendy). I really like what you have done with this tag!
Love the tag. This is the first time hearing about UTEE. I want to try new things. But, before putting money on new craft things, I need to finish my yarns and beads. Thanks for sharing. It looks amazing. What kind of heating you use?
Great tag!! Love the vintage/distressed design with all the fabulous embellishments. Great job!!

Oh Winnie, I just love this! It reminds me of my mother, who was an award-winning seamstress years ago. So clever!
You did a fine job with supplies on hand. I am without sewing patterns myself...I must go raid my mom, or a friend. Thank you for your nice comment on my Tim tag.
I agree, making them unusual and with stuff on hand is more fun. Love your tag. The buttons are cute.
Your tag is great! Are you a member of the All Things Tim Yahoo group? Lots of great sharing there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AllThingsTim/messages?o=1&yguid=262824323
