I've been having way too much fun playing around with fabric, batting, odd bits of trim and manilla tags this week. I've completed a few of the GAZILLION I've made, so I thought I'd share them.
What do you think?
Both of these are made of fabric with painted book pages on the back. They are embellished with stitching, ruffles, flowers, buttons etc.
This guy is puffy ~
These tags are so fun to squish... yes, I am easily amused. But everyone who's seen them starts squishing them and then smiles... a lot!
These little fellows are ready for a night out on the town:
And this girl is silly-cool. I adore her. Especially how she goes beyond the tag. Thank you Steph for the embellies... I thought of you while making her :-) She's also my entry into Tag Tuesday's Challenge #59 Heart.
On these, the flower is hand made and I thought the pom-pom trim reminded me of a Day of the Dead banner:
And a couple more :

Hope everyone is having a super-fab week.
Warmly,
