Prepare Tag

Cut a 3 3/4" x 8 1/2" tag from cardstock
Layer with first color card stock or decorative paper
Tear contrasting card stock or decorative paper on an angle and tape to tag as shown
Stamp tag with script or appropriate stamps if desired
Attach letters down left side (I used buttons on all of these, but tags or stickers would work)
Prepare and attach top embellishment
Attach buttons, charms or additional embellishments
Punch a hole in the top and add fibers

Cut 5 pieces of cream cardstock 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" (or as many pages as you want)
In a graphics or word processing program, draw 9 rectangles on the screen and type the verses, using different fonts
Print the page on plain text weight paper to use as a sample for placement
I printed some verses on decorative paper and some on the plain cardstock, so I taped the appropriate kind of paper over the rectangles on the plain text paper
Delete the rectangles on the screen, and then put the paper back through the printer (now with your good paper pieces taped over the rectangles on the sample sheet)
Assemble the pages and ink the edges of the decorative paper and pages as you wish
Line up all pages and punch five 1/8" holes at the top. (The holes cut through the first few sheets and made impressions on the others in the stack so I was able to punch the second group in the same place)
Attach large jump rings to the top and attach the booklet to the tag with double thickness of foam tape

Use cream cardstock as a base and layer with pink card stock and green decorative paper
Stamp with writing stamp and butterflies in olive ink
Glue Junkitz buttons down the side to spell F-R-I-E-N-D-S
Make a clay frame from a mold (see clay mold), sponge with pink ink and cover with Glossy Accents
Computer generate picture on vellum, attach to the back of the frame and glue to the tag

Attach Junkitz light green jump rings to the booklet
