12 Tags of 2014 ... August (with a twist!)

Good Morning!

I didn't manage to join in with last months tag over at 12 TAGS OF 2014 so I was adamant that I would make sure I did find time to join in for this month's! However I gave it a little twist just as the title suggests and made a card instead of a tag. I also changed the colours and gave it a festive feel as I wanted to use the gorgeous Styled Woodlands stamp set again that Tim released this year.
