Twenty-something types of tags; adding to the idea journal

I’ve been asked to turn on the camera and wing it, and that defines this video. I have long planned to add different types of tags to my idea journal and today I ‘m showing a handful of different ways to alter and decorate tags, to create variety in our journals and projects. Thank you for watching and happy creating.

And these aren't your typical cards. I look forward to creating a bunch of tags (which I need) when I'm finished with these two other projects. Crafting KZbin videos is a double-edged sword.

This was such a wonderful video! I liked the flip through because I am new to junk journaling. Not new to papercrafting or mixed media or miscellaneous crafts but new to junk journaling in particular. Also loved the belly band and even just curling the end of the paper lips. (Such a difference for something so small). Loved all the different tags and having an idea journal. I did start an art journal with Finnabair ( swore I was not gonna get into art or junk journaling), haha, and decided that the art journal would be a great thing for color palettes. I have of things and ideas and such so on the same line. Maybe even just a quote I want to save or a business I hear about. So the idea journal to me is a must have and if I want to play with something it’s there. Thanks for sharing!!!
