Not long ago after perusing some old Victoria Magazines, I found a wonderful image again in the February 1999 edition. Victoria never gets old or outdated, they are always lovely and classic. I knew once I saw it that I wanted to put my own "take" on it, so I used what I had on hand; tags and romantic elements to say "LOVE" in a very special Valentine-y way.
Old stamps
vintage buttons
Millinery flowers
faux pearls

I had so much fun putting this together...
Here is the original image
by Sarah Lugg, 1998

I'm joining in for these great parties:

Hope you're off to a wonderful week,

Love these tags! They're just beautiful. Victoria was such a special magazine. I was so sad when it folded. I don't think I saved my old issues when I moved :(
This looks like a fun project to do with Kara! Thanks so much for sharing it. So pretty!
beautiful job! Looks great!
Debbie yours were better than the original!
I remember that issue and still have it! I was so happy when Victoria returned and am already saving the new issues!
Lorraine
Debra,
These are stunning! I subscribe to Victoria...but my issues don't date back as far as yours, dear. I keep (too many) magazines for resources and inspiration! I call it...recycling! Thank you for this cleaver idea!
Fondly,
Pat
Thanks for sharing a great idea and something fun the kids could do too:)
Happy Sunday

That is so pretty, Debra! What a great project for the Copycat Challenge. I got nothing! : )

Love this! So different and beautiful! Thanks for sharing and Happy SONDAY!
your tags are so darling, debra! they'd be so cute as a banner for valentine's day:)
This my dear is AWESOME, and I want to create one now. I just love your spin. Thanks so much for sharing with us! Enjoy the party.
How sweet! I love yours better than the original. What a simple, yet beautiful, sentiment for Valentine's Day! Great copy!
I remember that artist! I'm with you - the Victoria mags are classics. I've still got a lot of mine since 1991.
I was so happy when Victoria returned in 2007!
You've done a wonderful job on these tags, Debra.
I checked this out earlier today when you posted it on your blog. I really like your version, those stamps make it look excellent!
~Bliss~
Beautiful! Timeless! I pinned it!
Oh my gosh Debra I LOVE this! You are right...some things are just timeless. I am seeing tags all over the place now and they were "in" back in 1998. Amazing!
Love your copycat version! This is a great idea, glad you shared it with us.
Those tags ate gorgeous, Debbie! I'm all about using what you have on hand. In fact, I think I have everything I'd need to make those!
Thanks so much for joining the party @ A Simply Klassic Home. Hope to see you again soon!!
You are so creative, my friend! Those tags are lovely!!! :)

Nice to meet a fellow Victoria fan. These mags are all around my bed. Beautiful idea you have there. Did you get to frame it? :) Blessings.
I love what you did dear Debra- so cute----I have two of Sarah Lugg´S books and loves them, does anyone know what have become of her?

Sweet and adorable! LOVE THEM!
Very pretty project. I love it.
I have always been inspired by the work of Sarah Lugg. I think I have the same back issue of Victoria and remember this article well. Your version is lovely.
Beautiful creation! I love taking things that I have in my stash and making something gorgeous! You inspire me! Have a blessed day, HUGS!
Those are so cute! I would love for you to link up at my new Valentine Party at www.cheapcraftymama.com!
I so love what you did. What a great idea too for gift tags, adding trinkets appropriate to the gift or occasion.
I also saved my back issues of
the old Victoria magazines. I have loved Sarah Lugg's tag creations for some time. Your version is lovely. You make me want to get the tags out and start a LOVE message,too. Thanks, Debra, for always sharing such great ideas.
Your blog is one of the best!
Sandy
Those are so darling Debra! I have quite a few old issues of Victoria that I'm hanging onto as well and I love looking back through them...hmmm...maybe I will find time to do that today! :-)
Vanessa
That is a really cute idea!!

I bought that years ago from Victoria for Jenn. She is a huge fan of Sarah Lugg's. I have to say...yours is terrific!
Deb
I have loved Sarah Lugg's tags and art for a long time and have to admit that I have been inspired in the past to make my own tags! I still love them and yours are super too! I have all my old issues of Victoria...they are treasures and just as relevant today. Great post...great tags!! -/
Very pretty Debra. That is such a cute idea. I love the stamps and pearls. Looks like it was fun to make!
