While I love using Elle’s Studio tags for journaling, I also think they can make perfect homes for photos as well! On this page, I strung a variety of Elle’s tags across my page pennant-style, using several of them as frames for my photos.
Here’s how this layout came together:
1. Spray a dark gray cardstock with white mist. I used Mister Huey in Calico White by Studio Calico.
2. Select an assortment of tags to create a banner. Use some for journaling, and decorate others with a variety of letter stickers:
3. Use a few of the larger tags to hold your photos. Measure the interior of the tags that will be holding your photos and print your photos according to your measurements. I used foam squares to adhere my photos to the tags for a bit of dimension:
4. Arrange your tags in two rows across the page, arcing them slightly to look as if they are hanging from a line. Adhere them to your cardstock.
5. Glue a long piece of twine across the top edge of each row of tags. Embellish with buttons to complete your banner.
