TABS on T Tuesday

Tabs with my morning coffee today...

I like to try finding a topic that begins with 'T' for

the T Tuesday link-up party with Elizabeth and friends.

Thought I would share TABS

 on the edges of my art journal pages.

Tabs make me happy...

Most are made from scrapbook paper or 

watercolor paper, either rectangles or circles

punched out with a circle punch. Notice I sewed a

bit of burlap for the tab on the right. It is rather

bulky, but I like how it looks.  I've also used security

envelope liners, and watercolor paper with doodles

in paint and pen to make Tabs.

There are lots of options!

The Paper Clip as a tab: above, is a counted

cross-stitch design on Aida, that was cut out, glued to

the paper clip along with backing fabric, and 

the entire piece stiffened with white glue.

Another paper clip tab, with a knotted strip of

fabric.  You can also see the purchased paper clip

to the left that has an arrow image on it. I am not sure

if I bought it in the office supply aisle, 

or in scrapbook supplies.

Above, a rather large tab covered with

fabric scraps.  I guess I just wanted to include

the entire collage on this tab...

One of my favorite tabs: a scrap of lace that

I crocheted with beads sewn onto it.  The 

bugle beads and seed beads stick out over the

edge of the page. Not a substantial tab, but

adds a nice texture!

Tabs on cards or tags inside a pocket, make the

piece easier to pull out of the pocket.

A bit of fall color is showing up in my area

of Ohio...and here's one of the many

primitive pumpkins that appear around our

house this time of year.

Linking up with Elizabeth for T Tuesday.

Thanks for visiting!
