It's that time again! I think I totally have a good one here.
Okay all, you know the clothing tags & buttons, school supply tags and shoe/sneaker tags that almost always accompany your child's clothing?
Why not take full advantage of these items and use them on your scrapbooking pages?
They are not only dimensional, cool and unique but they are FREE.
In addition to the free factor, there is the whole element of brands that will be indicative of the generation in which your child grew up. These items will be wonderful to add to the history and experience of when your child was young. To look at the scrap pages and say hey, I remember those converse or that cute Abercrombie shirt! You know exactly what I mean! So before you pitch those extra tags, attachments & buttons- think twice. They might inspire a wonderful layout but will definitely make their mark on your next creation.
By the way, if you are concerned about the acid-free, lignin-free component place them in memorabilia keeper pouches/sleeves or just remember not to place them where they touch the photos and all will be fine.
Happy Crafting!

Girl, you are amazing with your tips! What a great idea to use the tags from clothing to show the style in this era. I remember when my oldest used to wear Gloria Vandebilt jeans. Today it's Aeropostale and Hollister but I will definitely use that idea to remember the style because you know inevitably the clothes will go out of style when something new hits the market. thanks again for the great tip.
