Just a few tags on the page

I jacked this from somewhere but honestly,
I can't remember because I cruise a lot of scrapbook
blogs and videos.
It had to have been a blog because I'd remember the video
(maybe LOL).
Anyway, thanks!!!
 I just love having the tags all over the page and it was
fun to do.
Then to decorate all the tags was a hoot as well
again, not wigging out because "some" don't "fit."
It's a page 😲 and I found it quite
freeing to not worry about those things.
 I also used up a lot of stash which is very cool.
And would you believe I still have more tags.
And that washi tape - I love the words on it and used
it to make a fun mini title to guide you through the page.
This was a lot of fun just because and its whimsical.
I'm coming to love whimsical.
I love the way it came out and I'll be doing this again I'm sure.
So I found a photo of me riding a gondola up Vail.
I'm trying to not look LOL!! 
Thanks to Tom I can see the view was beautiful now
(I did look when I got off the gondola).
Anyway the photo came because of the "lift tickets"
and I used the stamps that came in the Summit kit. 

Studio Calico.

Layers and Ledger paper

I started THIS page with 2 photos.
It's been awhile since I used multiple photos and didn't
I have fits with this.
I went through at least 9419471347193471098 different
papers, including transparencies AND mats.
 The photos are heritage - and originals and not 
really good photos.
I probably in hindsight could've made them B&W
but where would the fun be in that.
 So I ended up using kraft and beige because 
seriously nothing went.
(I have no clue on the ledger paper - its THAT old)
Including black - black works on everything
except these 2 pictures.
LOL.
 I made 2 big tags after tossing envelopes around
that looked stupid.
And more Tim Holtz that I just kept tossing on.
well because I couldn't stop really.
And I actually used Heidi Swapp Tea mist because seriously
what more can go wrong.
And the TITLE. 
Good grief - that was serious overthinking going on.
I had a pack of kraft alphas with white letters
and it would've been perfect had it all the letters- but nooooo
not enough E's.
I know you're surprised.
So I got a small square punch - punched out and then
used my hero arts alpha and started
doing the letters in white which looked dumb
because the white wasn't white enough.
So I changed it up to black - and well its funky enough
to go with the page.

A flipping Heritage page - that I'm ON.
That's just wrong on many levels, but here we are.
So mom and I had similar outfits
and while I was cruising through the way-back
box there they were side-by-side.
I'm 20 years old there (I think) and mom would be 40.
We totally rocked the outfits.

The way-back box is magical.
Everyone should have one.
