August winners and our September tutorial ...

I will be announcing our August winners shortly but first I would like to introduce you to our August Tips, Tricks and Techniques brought to you by team member Karen McLaughlin.

Using tags on your layout by Karen McLaughlin

* Tags are a great way of using up those scraps of paper that get leftover from projects.

* I keep my scraps of paper/cardstock in a concertina type file in colours so that it’s easy to find what I’m looking for. 

* Tags are a great option for those masculine layouts. 

* I do have a tag punch but you can easily cut out tags yourself using a template.

* For my September layout I used a hole punch or you could use a Crop-A-Dile to add a hole.

* I used some cheap white hole re-enforcers and inked before placing.

* Adding a length of wool, string or twine works well.

* You could add extra texture by distressing the edges of the tags.

and now onto our August winners .....
