Scrapbook using Tags-Chehaw Park-Tutorial part1

I start with a few die cut tags from a natural colored cardstock...These tags could also be cut from a template...but the die cuts make it easier...
I rub each tag with a dye based ink pad, just to add some color and texture to the base tag...
I choose the photos and some contrasting colors of cardstock to layer the photos on...I use my clear acrylic templates from Evolving Images to crop the photos and cut the layering mats...
This is the cover of the tag scrapbook...I used one of the brochures from the park to help with journaling and the title of the book...This could be hand written or computer generated as well...

Chehaw Park Tag Scrapbook-Tutorial part 2

These are the first two tag pages of the book...The cheetah is on the inside of the front cover, the zebra is on the front side of the next tag...I used the animal names from the brochure...
The alligator swamp photo is on the backside of the zebra tag, the alligator photo is on the front of the next tag...
The flamingos are on the back side of the alligator tag and is also the back cover of the tag scrapbook...I used a clear plastic snap ring to bind the book, and some pretty ribbons and fibers tied onto the snap ring as an embellishment...Ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon...
