You don't have to limit yourself to boring, simplistic, or ready-made tags when you want something customizable.
This script will create a travel tag that you can customize with any color/gradient/pattern you want, and any text to showcase dates, events, people, locations, etc.

For samples, I created 12 tags for the months of the year. Each one has a different color that matches the month. I used solid colors so you CAN brush over any section with the brush tool if you want to erase some text and replace it with something else. Each tag is in png and if you are doing traditional scrapbooking, you could even print and cut them.

Another way to add a date, a name, a location, or a short phrase in a unique way on your project.
For a sample, I created four seasonal tags and left the rectangle with lines so you could add your own message or customize the tag further. You can distress it, stain it, add a stamp to it, etc. Then, tie it to something with a string or a ring.
You can now create a custom tag, with the colors from your palette, or even with some interesting patterns, and include details of your choice. Although these tags would typically be associated with travel (like a location, an airport code, etc.), you can use them for any occasion since you can choose any text you want.
For this week, the samples I made were run through the script, but I stopped it before the final merge, which allowed me to remove some of the text. This helps create "blanks" that you can fill however you need.
