12 Scrapbook Layout Ideas That Use Tags

Allison used a long row of tags across her double page spread creating a border that has color, pattern and text, including one tag for her typed strip journaling. There’s a border of flowers between the tags and row of photos for a beautifully balanced design. Visit the Allison Davis for Scrapbook Generation blog for more info.

If you’re looking to include a simple but effective embellishment to your scrapbook layouts then look no further than the humble tag. A piece of paper with cut or rounded corners at the top, a hole tied with some string and you’ve got a wonderful place for journaling, adding a date, a photo mat or just as an easy accent on a page. You can use one tag or fill the entire layout with them, they really are very versatile! So today let’s take a look at scrapbook layouts that include tags.

One tag has a title and journaling, the others have embellishments and notice how one is tied the other two are stapled hanging from the top. She also stitched around the edges of the tags and well as along the rainbow striped borders. I came across her idea in her Jael Luvs2Create gallery at Scrapbook.com.
