Tag +

 Now that I'm getting back in a groove with my weekly tag journal, I get to make a tag a week.  So far my tags for the journal have been very simple.  After watching many YouTube Clare Charvill videos, and buying a couple of her workshops I was finally ready to take scissors to paper to try some of Clare's techniques.  You must give yourself the gift of Clare.  Her work is flawless, her delivery soothing, and her paper art is intricate without being busy.  Go on, check it out.  http://mycreativespirit1.blogspot.com/  Click on her free crafting hints, tips and tutorials to see what she's all about.  Anyhoo, this is the tag to document my recent week in Oahu for our 25th anniversary.  I decided on a booklet tag; I made 2 slit pockets on front cover.  Everything inked with Vintage Photo, and ticket cut with a Tonic Studio's punch, Graphic 45 paper. These are all staples with Clare.   

On the inside of the booklet, I used cream card stock, inked and stamped, and made a crude flap page for the left side.  I didn't quite have that one figured out; no matter I've watched Clare do it several times.  Back to the videos.
