Store Opening

So there are a few more delays for opening day. I am taking it in stride though. My son is in a soccer tournament this weekend, so as the team manager, I will be rather busy! It's so much fun though, it is a lot of work being the manager, however the parents are just amazing so it's very social.

The layout above, I created with the Vintage Frame Freebie, using the Heritage kit. The photos are of my Grandparents. My sister, Gretchen ( the fab photographer), retouched the photos as they were in very bad shape. And yes, those are my grandmother's pearls in the picture!

Digital Scrapbooking Kit

This is the newest addition to the Paper Tag! The Oopsi Daisy! kit has some fabulous elements and beautifully coordinated linen papers. I found the perfect picture of my niece; her striped shirt matches the pink in the papers.

I positioned the photo so that it looks as if she is looking at the "e" in the layout. This is a great way to keep your viewer moving around the layout, to see all the elements.

Welcome to the Paper Tag's Blog

Many of you have been visiting my blog at www.scrapleaps.typepad.com . While Scrapleaps will remain open for the next month, please remember to bookmark my new blog.

The store will be open in the next few days, and I am very excited to share my creations with everyone. Thank you to everyone who has helped me reach my goal. Without their support, love and understanding over the last 6 months, the journey to the Paper Tag would have been far less enjoyable.

The Paper Tag Blog will be a space where you will find tips for scrapbooking, product sneek peeks, challenges and contests! If you are interested in learning about a specific technique email me, I'd love to hear from you. I use PSE 5.0 and PSCS2, for both designing and scrapbooking. Feel free to leave a comment when you visit my blog, if you're a little bit shy...there's always email admin@thepapertag.com

I will no longer post freebies on my blog. They will however, be available for immediate download from my store the Paper Tag . You will find the Freebies category listed on the left hand side of the store site just above my fabulous Creative Team.

Have a scrappy day.
