Blue Bird of Happiness tag book — lots of pictures!
A tag book similar to this one is now part of the on-going blog candy. Blog candy will now run until April 5, 2010. You may leave a comment any where on my blog and if you link my blog to yours, I will put your name in the “hat” five additional times.

The die is from sizzix, super traditional die #38-0947. This die has been retired. However if you would like some cut, please email me at ms.rhetta@verizon.net and I will gladly send you some cut from recycled cardboard. You will need to sand and cover as you see desire. Paypal is accepted and 20 will cost you $2.50 to cover postage.

The front and back covers are cut out of recycled plastic, as are the “ghost” shapes. A ghost shape is simply a shape (in this project butterflies and flowers) also cut from recycled clear plastic. It adds an dimension that is not only offers a great dimension but a fun almost 3-d effect when layered with other decorative papers.

Many of the pages are embellished with glitter. The stams are from various manufactures and the ribbon adorning the tabs and wires are from the ribbon outlet here in Maryland.

I hope you will give a project like this a try. It is time consuming since much time is needed for layers and pieces to dry, so in man hours I would say this one took about 4 hours to totally complete.

Thank you for joining me today, Have a great week and STAMP HAPPY!
