Today you find me going on my travels - though sadly only in my dreams! At Dragons-Dream, it is Frankie's turn to set the theme for our Tag It On Challenge today - and the theme is travel.
I actually had most of this tag made before the theme was set, but hadn't blogged it, so just had to add a couple of finishing touches! Result - don't you love it when that happens. If you fancy joining us, we have a call out for DT members - check the Dragons-Dream blog for details. Also, this week, travel is the theme at SimonSays Stamp and Show too - so this is my entry there too.
So, on this fine (probably not sunny) Wednesday, what is occurring chez H? Well, no new stash - I MUST NOT buy anything else till Ally Pally in September - but there is a new magazine though; waiting to be read - and a tag in progress for a swap I can't share yet It's currently being weighed down to let some glue fix!

Last year I learned what Ally Pally was, so will watch in anticipation of what you bring home this year. That's a great tag. I agree that if you can use something that was made before, but not specific to any challenge, that's a great way to go. Very nice addition to the book.
Lots of travel themes this week! Like the tag on the book - great stuff... Never done Ally Pally and still contemplating the madness myself...
Thanks for sharing today. Sarah (at 1)
Love your book cover and such a lovely sentiment
Hope you are keeping well and thanks for sharing x
Love the tag! Your desk is lovely and clean and I am impressed that there's no new stash - such self discipline you have!
Happy WOYWW

The tag on the book is lovely. I wonder what the one thats drying looks like? :-)

Does the limited size of the tag make you think more about the layout rather than a larger item? I suppose (as a non-cardmaker) that it's more a case of what you leave out makes it more effective? It's very elegant, anyway!! xx
loved your tag. I guess I should try making tags and incorporating it in my pages. thanks for the inspiration!
Oh yes! I love it when you're in sync with the universe. :) Great tag! Eiffel tower is one of my to-do things. :) I've been there but could't go up once because of the wind and once because of the croud. I was really upset about that. Going to Paris and not going up the Eiffel tower.
Morning, yes I finally got to bed about 5 minutes before I got up!!
Love your tag, really wish I could make one that good! Very busy work desk as usual, have a great day...I'm fighting monsters from the moon...or in other words..mother!! ((Lyn))
If I get chance I will join in this week as I do love Travel as a theme. Yours has inspired me to do it and I must say how much I love the torn strip down the side.
Thanks for the good wishes and the look around your workdesk. Hugs, Neet #2

I cancelled all my mags in an economy drive last year. I really miss the Take Tens. Now things are on an even keel again, I must slap Mr D about for agreement to start again!!
Lovely to see a completed tag covering the book. I make the tags and then put them in a box!! I have been wondering if Take Ten is worth subscribing, will be interested to read peoples comments.
Lovely tag, like the roses and the journalling is a perfect touch.

A great tag. I love Paris and, every time I go there I pop to see "la tour eifel". It just wouldn't do not to visit it.
