Sharing my post that has just gone live at 7 Dots Studio today!
Hi everyone! Helen here today to share with you a fun little album I made recently,
using the new Thoughts Keeper Collection! I just love this collection in real life.
Seeing it in person was honestly a heart-stopping moment for me. It is
just.so.beautiful. It is also so versatile & just perfect for unisex & family pages.
4 FRONT PAGES {front of tags}
Recently I discovered a local (to me - in South Africa) online printer that prints your photos straight from your Instagram account, either as a 9 x 10 Polaroid style print or as a sheet of mini-prints like you see here. I was so excited about it that I got ALL my Instagram photos printed in different configurations & I JUST LOVE THEM! They work perfectly for a tag album but of course
you could print your own at home using the Picasa Collage function or something similar.

4 BACK PAGES {back of tags}
Rather than make a post full of photos I have collaged the front pages {fronts of the 4 tags I used} & collaged the back pages {back of the 4 tags I used} & below are some close-up shots collaged together. My tags measure 31/2 by 8 inches & I used large Tim Holtz tags & covered them but you could just as easily make your own tag template. Covering a cardstock tag base would be better than simply gluing 2 patterned papers together as the album is now really firm & strong.
