Tag Album - Summer

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing my tag album created for the January challenge over on Facebook with Sassy Scrappers.

The challenge was to created a Summer inspired Tag Album. 

 

I decided to create a Tag Album that told a story of our love for summer. To show what it means to s as a family. Beaches, surfing, sand and great waves always makes us happy.

 

 

I decided to take the photos without the loop on them as each tag displayed better. 

 

 

The boys and I love summer at the beach. On real hot days the sea breeze and cooling off in the salt water is just wonderful.

 

 

The products I used are -

Tim Holtz Tags

Simple Stories Patterned Papers - I {Heart} Summer

Simple Stories - Stickers

Kaisercraft Clear Stamps

Journal Pen

Distress Ink

Shells

Dies - Light house, Tinny Shells, Ship Wheel

 

(I have done a lot of fussy cutting from the patterned papers to create my Tag Album.)

 

Thank you so much for popping in to see what I have been creating.

The flowers, butterfly's and eyes are fussy cut from the ARTstacks prints.

Embrace Life is from the Inspirational Words - Mini Stack packet which is printed on tissue paper. 

I had so much fun creating these journal pages. I have never used tissue paper prints before but I must say they are my new love to work with. I also love the fact that I can create with the tissue paper and that there are prints that all go together and look great. 

Well that's my journal page and now it's time for me to take my son for a driving lesson.
