I got quite excited when I saw this month's giveaway on 12 Months as they were just my colours, Cranberry and Apple, hmmm YUM! I printed off one background and the pocket page.I made up the pocket decorating it with the Wild Rose Flower from the same page and also the filigree wording. I pasted the tag piece on the back of my Coronation tag, added the rose wording and a postage stamp of Our Queen as she is now for the 60th anniversary since her coronation.
Then I cut up the backing paper to fit my page. I used the cut off top and bottom to make up the wider sides and the little left over pieces in the corners. Then I added various pieces of leftover card from my stencil bumping last week having made twinches out of the main pieces.Then, as I had a tray of newly cut white card of all my new dies I just laid them on and they looked fine against the darker background so I went ahead and stuck them down. Having a bit of a bird fest at present. Got the tiny birds after craft club last week. I wanted a fence die, as we are having our fence re-done next week, and it came with the medium bird and the birdhouse. And I have been after a dove for a while, so that just popped into my basket too. Oops.
The page isn't anything I planned at all but I am quite pleased with it all the same.

Hi BJ, love the tag and pocket and the colour combination is lovely. That stamp is just perfect and I like the connection between the queen and the English rose - she is reputed to have a beautiful complexion. Your page is great too - the tiny bird is so cute. Elizabeth xx
