Made a magnetic bookmark out of 2 tags seen on the right side top to hold some tags or be used as a note holder.

An other magnetic clip and on the right side I saved the frame when I fussy cut out images and addad an other cut apart under to make a pocket. Have a tutorial on how to make this tags and here is the link,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg2R9UpOmqk
