Making a Point

Thought I would share what I am playing around with while working on my DLP Journal travel theme pages. 

Since I am combining three weeks into one spread, I wanted some tags or something to explain each week.  I love tags, but come on, how many tags can you use before you bore yourself!  (Okay, I never get tired of tags, but anyway...)

I decided to try out some arrow tags.  I took regular tags, using one for a template.  I marked the center point on the bottom (the end opposite the string).  I drew diagonal lines from that center point to both sides, then trimmed to a point.  Since the other end is shorter (where the angle cut is), I used that short width as a guide to draw a cutting line to the other end.

It is way simpler to show in person than trying to write out an explanation of what I did, but I'm sure you can figure it out yourselves.  Kind of a unique way to use a tag, I think.

In the end, though, I may use a cardstock with a grid print for my arrows (still debating whether to make them look tag-like). 

So, that's what I've been playing with.  Yesterday was 1 minute shorter than the day before.. school here starts in two weeks.  Summer is sneaking away right under my nose!!

That was fun. I can see where you're going with this.
