Cut It Up Challenge #57: Tags, Tags, Tags

Hello there!  It's time for another great challenge on the Cut It Up challenge blog.  This one has to do with tags.  We want to see at least 2 tags.  And please use a die-cut on your project.  Our great sponsor is Pretty Cute Stamps.    The prize is a $15 coupon to their online store. 

I've made a meander book.  I got the idea by watching this utube video.  This is my second meander book.  I used double-sided paper to make things easier on this one :-)  And this little book is only 3x3 inches square.  Pretty cute, huh?!  I made this one for my son's school pictures.  It's the perfect size for those little wallets.  This one goes from Kinder to 5th grade.  He should be at the same school through the fifth grade.  (unless they decide to rezone--ah, I hope not!)  He's only in first grade so I will add the rest of the pics as I get them :-)  I'm planning on making one for my daughter, too. 

Okay, ready to meander through my book?? :-)
