A Spotted Canary Project by Crafty Koala

31 March 2009

Use a tag pad to create this stunning family mini book. Instead of using the traditional method of closing your tag book with a brass ring or ribbon, look for an old set of metal keys at a home decorating or antique store. These make a beautiful alternative to holding your album together.

Instructions

STEP 1:

Pull apart the tag pad and adhere two tags back to back for as many pages as you would like to create in your album. ink around the edges to cover up any area where the two tags do not meet up perfectly together.

STEP 2:

Powder the back of the “Family” chipboard sticker to deactivate the adhesive and punch a hole through the letter “F”. Thread this onto the key ring with the tags and finish off with a bow from several different ribbons.

STEP 3:

Decorate inside pages as desired using photos and coordinating papers and embellishments. Journal directly onto tags or journaling strips using the Chocolate marker. Layer papers with embellishments and photos using adhesive foam squares for added depth. Ink all edges for an antique touch.
