Our issues for this theme is tags! I had a lot of fun using The Sweetest Thing collection from My Mind's Eye to create my tag album. This album holds some of my favorite photos of my daughter Lisa. I love the way the album turned out and can't wait to put together more albums like this for my other children.

 

 

I also made a box to house the album using the 3D Notes Box by Lori Whitlock. For the album I started with Lori Whitlock's Pocket Tag to make the front and back covers of the album. I then created my own simple and interactive pages to fill the album. I kept the embellishments simple, added my photos, and my album was finished. Here is a look at the pages of the album.

 

This is the other side of the front cover and stores additional photos and tags.

 

Using the Papertrey Ink Shutterbug Special stamp set and die I created another pocket to hold mini photo strips I took using my iPad.

Using my Silhouette software I welded my daughters name to a rectangle shape, cut it with my Cameo, and cut the corners to match the other tags.

I handcut this tag and used my Basic Grey Notch and Die tool to create the closure. It opens to reveal more mini photo strips and tags for journaling.

I cut my photo into a tag shape and layered a vellum tag over the top. I also used my Cameo to cut a rectangle shape with the word beauty cut at the bottom and then trimmed the corners to make the tag shape.

 

I also cut this tag by hand and added a title die cut to the front. This tag opens and holds a photo and embellishments. It may be hard to see in the photo, but I used the Basic Grey Notch and Die tool to create another closure for the flap.

 

For this tag I used the Silhouette software to weld the word love to a larger rectangle and cut it out with my Cameo. I used my scoring board to create the flap that opens revealing another photo and embellishments.
