Tape, tape, tape! What is it about this sticky stuff that makes us go ga-ga? For me, it’s that hit of casualness that I enjoy… that little bit of playful, “This is MY art and it need NOT be perfect.”
Now with the movement toward more and more designer tapes, also referred to as Washi Tape, there’s even more reason to be giddy over it!
Here are some examples of projects using these fancy tapes…

Digital friends, don’t think traditional scrappers are the only ones who get to enjoy these pretty stickies! There are loads of gorgeous digi tapes out there! Here are a few of my favorites…

I *LOVE* tape…. of any kind. Specially pretty tape.
Your Stick Arounds are an absolute scrap stash MUST. I also find myself going back to Creashens Masked Frames again and again. As far as real live tape, Cute Tape is a place I spend too much money. I love their Old Book and Airmail tape…. but any striped tape is favorite. Something about stripes and tape together that makes me extremely happy.
Thanks for more tapey places!
