This is my last project as a design team member with Frilly and Funkie, and I want to thank Linda and all my DT buddies for their support, friendship, and encouragement over these last nine months. I've loved being part of this team!
The current challenge ("Make it a Tag - Winter or Christmas") is hosted by Terry. I decided to make a jumbo pocket tag using Tim Holtz's Snowflake On-the-Edge die. I used the Snowflake Texture Fade to emboss my XL tags. I was careful in placing my old book page upside down so the music would be in the right direction when I folded it over as a flap.
I used a few wintery stamps and lots of Tim's Idea-ology: Adage Tickets, Muse Token, Brads and Metal Corners. A strip of Linda's white corrugated cardboard (colored with a light rub of Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks) finishes it off.
I used the Vintage Photo to highlight the raised snowflakes, too. Please join us at Frilly and Funkie to see what the design team has created and then add your tag to the challenge... it's open through Christmas Day.
Thanks for visiting!
Marjie
What a way to end your brilliant term of office Marjie. This is sumptuous - an inspired design and some amazing texture. From someone who has taken an immense amount of pleasure in viewing your creations and untold inspiration from them too, I want to say a huge thank you for sharing your time, energy and talent with everyone. I'm sure you will be sorely missed from the F&F team, but I'll be waiting to see what you get up to next. Have a wonderful Christmas, hugs Jenny xx

This is a fantastic tag Marjie, the snowflake texture is amazing and I just love all the other additions which you have managed to make into the most wonderful whole!! I have only just recently discovered the Frillie and Funkie Boutique and all the many different challenges. Really sorry you are going to leave the team, but I look forward to whatever else you will get up to!

Going to miss seeing you on the F&F blog, Marjie! This pocket is wonderfully rich in both color and texture. Really like the "cuff" you created with the music paper.

Hard to imagine you won't be at F&F any more... but since we get to play together at eP, and given I'm an avid follower anyway, it would be silly to say I'll miss you, but I bet they will!!
What a grand finale you've created too... an absolutely stunning tag - LOVE the musical snowflakes, and the gorgeous rich tones - completely love it!!
