Tags can be used for all sorts of things like on scrapbook pages for journaling, gift bags or to hold gift cards or money, or how about on your child's equipment bag. Please use the super sketch provided courtesy of Becky Fleck over at Page Maps, remember you do not have to use a TSB image although we would love to see them if you do!
