Tag You're IT!! 11 Things You Can Do With Tags!

It's "10 Things Tuesday" and we are back with another fun topic--tags I "love me some"  tags!  They are a fun way to add in some journaling to your layouts, add add some personalization to a gift, frame photos, embellish...the list goes on. What's even better now , is that when this trend first came around they didn't match my papers.  Now, all of my favorite paper manufacturers have jumped on trend and include them in with their papers to coordinate--"cha  ching"! Our lovely ladies have come up with 11 fun and creative ideas on how to use up those tags--nothing like a little bonus to start the day!  Check out what they came up with... 

 

1.) Create a mini album.

Practical Scrapper Linda made a mini journal using tags. She first cut some tags using the Bigshot and a Sizzix Tags die, then decorated the pages, added pics and journaling and finally used a big brad to hold the pages together.

2.) Create your own gift personalized gift tags.
