This is the season of Christmas parties and dinners, exchanging favors and hostess gifts. I found this pretty gift card holder on Echo Park’s blog. Stacy Rodriguez created this with Everybody Loves Christmas. Don’t you just adore the bright candy colors and happy pastels of this cute collection.

The use of tags in scrapbooking is a trend started by crafters who wanted to mimic the look of office supplies on their pages. Originally, they simply purchased ordinary shipping tags to use on pages with school or work-related themes. However, tags are now a scrapbooking staple that is suitable for use on any type of layout.

Tags add dimension to any scrapbook page; but you can’t always buy the kind of tag you would like to use. Tags can be used on scrapbooking layouts in a number of different ways. For example:

Use a large tag as a photo mat.
Place sticker letters on small tags to create a unique title treatment.
Arrange a variety of patterned paper tags along the edge of your layout for a fun border.
Add simple photo captions to tiny tags.
Layer journaling printed on vellum over a patterned paper tag.
Tuck a tag in a pocket to add hidden journaling to your layout.
Tie several tags together with ribbon to make an interactive mini-album for your layout.
