well here is a post with a difference,
i cannot tell you how happy I was when the lovely Mel ..the yorkshire fox, suggested we do a tag swap.
.I love her work and boy I was not disappointed..
I was lucky to receive the most fantastic tag shown below, and much more, lots of lovely goodies all so beautifully wrapped,
it really made my heart smile.
So here is Mel's fab tag:
the only condition of the swap was that we added a heart..
we both love hearts..something about them..
i wish my photography skills could do this stunning tag justice..
the wire work is so wonderful and the textures on the tag are just amazing.
to see more of Mel's fantastic work make sure you pop across here ...it will be well worth it!
She is super talented and creative and makes the most beautiful and thoughtful pieces
and has a very kind heart .

What a wonderful exchange of creativity. I love them both. Mel's caged heart is a really brilliant idea, I like the bubbled effect so much. I'll have to try that one out. Your wings and heart is amazing too, I especially like the mini staples on the heart and around the quote. So marvellous you two. Michelle xx
