As you probably know, my kit club focused on board books and wordbooks. I know many of you have taken classes with me or made a book using the tricks and tips in my monthly Are You Board kit club. But as I told you a few weeks ago, my Croptopia U educational events are helping you get your photos into your albums. I heard many of you struggle with that. So today I wanted to talk about some of the fun techniques that we learned to use in boardbooks or wordbooks and show you how to use them on your layouts too! The layouts that you work on can have some of the features that you loved from Are You Board.
TAGS 
Remember how easy it was to journal on a tag? Small space, not so scary! Especially if you add lines to write on!
Download Journaling Tags
print out on 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock (where do you get that? Here is one of my favorites!
Office Supply Store )
Cut these tags out 
and they are ready to journal and add to your layouts. Remember part of the fun of tag journaling is that you can add ALL the details that you want to remember but do not necessarily want everyone to read. You know ... all the juicy, sappy or silly, embarrassing details about the memory!
So print out the tags, cut them out. Be sure to use your chalk inks on the edges of these tags. Want to print on the cardstock you are using in your layout or even the patterned paper? Sure! Just cut the 12x12 to 8 1/2 x11 and feed through your printer!
And just where should I put them? They can simply be added to the layout as you would a journaling section or an added embellishment. But if it is a tag you would like to keep hidden...but you still want to access it while your pages are in the top loaded page protectors... use your photo mat as a pocket, leave the top of the mat unattached and your tag will slide right in behind the photo. Tie a longer ribbon to the top of the tag and let it run straight up to the top of the layout. I will be adding more tricks to hide your tags this week. Be sure to check back often.
Tags are the best!
