December Tag swap

Hello Folks and welcome to another tag swap here on Tag You're it. Hopefully your November tags will be with you shortly with all the weather the post is playing up a little.

This month I am your host - Clarky J

and I am going for the obvious now because this months swap involves Christmas!

My friends despair of me as I do Christmas all year round - I just love it! My Christmas stamp collection is almost as large as my every day collection but I do make sure I get lots of use from them.
Tomorrow is St Nicholas day and as he is the chap we have come to know as Father Christmas thats who I would like to see on your tags this month.

So what do you have to do?

Make 3 tags with Father Christmas on - they can be the same or different - and post them off to me. If you need my address then email me here

anyone can join in - you don't have to have played before but I can promise you wont be disappointed with the swaps you receive back again!

I would like to turn this one around by Christmas so please have your tags to me by Saturday 18th December and I will swap and post back to you for first post on the 20th.

Remember to add a SAE with a large stamp for your return swaps.

Here is my take on the theme the rest of the DT will add theirs through the week too.

Janet

Ready to play?

Hope so we love swapping art with our players.

If you would like to leave a link to your tags then add a comment and we will visit.

Have fun!

Our Monthly Tag swap!

We have so much enjoyed the monthly tag swaps we have decided to dedicate the whole blog to Tag swapping! The first swap has a really open theme so you can be as creative as you want which is Simply Stamping. Your tag must include stamping within its design - a really easy one to play around with. So what else do you have to do?

1) Make your 3 tags and post a link on the post.

2) Post your tags to the swap host which will change each month.

3) Include a SAE with a large stamp. Your envelope must be A5 size so they will fit larger tags in them.

4) Swaps need to be with the host by the 25th of the month for swapping and posting back to you.

5) When you receive your swaps dont forget to leave thanks on the Tag swap page which will be added each month.

This month your swap host is Sam and you can find out the postal address by mailing her at waterytart_1@yahoo.com

The team have had fun playing with this open theme - a chance to play with stamps not used for a while.

Janet

Sam

It's over to you folks now. We do hope a few of you will join in with the swaps as it's been so wonderful getting some truely gorgeous tags in the post in our previous swaps!

Take care and have a great month!

Love the Team xx

BOO!!

Happy Monday once more Taggers! Just a quick reminder to let you know that our Tag Swap for Feeling Fruity is now closed and return tags should be back with you soon!

Speaking of swaps, we have an announcement to make. Starting next Sunday we are changing the format and becoming a monthly swap with theme blog! We've absolutely LOVED receiving all your gorgeous tags in the post and rather than hold challenges weekly we'd like to dedicate this blog to swapping everyones wonderful creations!

So next Sunday we will start with a brand new theme and we'll give you all the swapping details. We'd be thrilled if we got a few of you taking part, as no matter how good the photos might be, there's nothing quite like actually getting to touch and hold someone else's art :)

So, for this week our theme is BOO! and our wonderful team have been creating inspiring samples for you. Remember, all our themes are open to interpretation so feel free to let your creative juices flow freely.

Here are our samples:

Feeling Fruity Tag Swap hosted by Anne

Happy Sunday once more taggers..... oooer, I hope we haven't scared you all off with our pocket tags last week, it was very quiet. Hopefully our new Swap Theme for October will inspire you to dive into your stash and join in once more. Our theme for October is Feeling Fruity...

And we also have a wonderful Guest who has agreed to join us during October. Please say HELLO to KATE who is one of our regular Taggers. Here's a little bit about Kate:

I've been crafting for a very long time and I still have some stamps I bought when I was 10!

I like doing so many different crafts it feels like I don't have time to do any.

I'm a very messy crafter and give tidy freaks at crops heart failure!

I have 3 children, who I refer to on my blog as The Dinky Diva, Small-n-Grubby and Branston Pickle!

I love photography too, particularily wildlife, but with 3 children in tow I rarely get time to dedicate to it. Or peace and quiet!

I can't eat gluten, but thankfully there is no gluten in chocolate!!

Please go visit her blog to see her fabulous creations.


For details of where to send your October tags to, once you've made them, please email Anne directly. Closing date for the swap is Friday 29th October.

Here we go with our team's fab tags for the October Swap:

Tag in a pocket

Happy Sunday once more Taggers!  A HUGE Thank You to those of you who played along with our colour theme last week - what gorgeous tags you created with one of the team's favourite colour combo's.

This week we have been making tags in pockets and would love it if you would join us once more and show us your tags in pockets.

Also, a very quick reminder if you are thinking of playing along with our September Tag Swap theme of Autumn Gold, just to say that all tags need to be sent to Sam ASAP so that she can re-distribute them before the end of the month.

So here are the team's wonderful samples to inspire you this week.

Pascale

Janet

Anne

And now it's your turn.  Please don't forget to leave us a link to your project so that we can come and ogle your Tags in Pockets!

From the Fairy Garden

Happy Sunday once more taggers!! Well there's definitely a nip in the air these mornings and the leaves are starting to turn the most glorious rich colours of autumn - fabulous inspiration for our September Swap theme Autumn Gold. It would be wonderful if we could get lots more players making tags for this swap because it's a fabulous feeling receiving the surprise of random works of art in the mail at the end of each month - just ask anyone who's taken part in our previous swaps!

So onto this week's theme, and one that brings out the child in all of us - From the Fairy Garden. As always, our themes are all open to interpretation and hopefully, always fun to make. Here are some gorgeous samples from our fab team to inspire you:

Sam

Janet

Pascale

Anne

And now it's over to you. We cannot wait to see how you interpret this on your tags this week. Don't forget to leave us a link so that we can come and visit you!

Have a great week, and don't forget our September Swap!

September Tag Swap - Autumn Gold

Happy Sunday Taggers!! OMGoodness, can you believe it's the first Sunday of the month again?? This means that we are ready to host another brand new tag swap! Once again our lovely teamie Sam is hosting this swap so if you would like to create 3 tags to our theme this month please contact Sam to ask where to send your tags to.

Now, as it's also the first Sunday of autumn, we couldn't let the opportunity of celebrating this glorious season pass by without having an autumnal theme, could we? And so our theme for this week and if you want to join in the swap for September (to be posted by Saturday 25th September) is Autumn Gold ...


And our fabulous team have put together some samples to entice you:

Janet

Pascale

Anne (x3)

Sam

As we are now fast approaching the 'silly season' (it's only 16 weeks away from Christmas did you know!!!) it's inevitable that some of the team will be caught up with other commitments from time to time and so we are looking to invite some Guest Team Members in order to keep the blog running smoothly and provide you with lots of inspirational samples. We do have some new ideas that we are going to implement over the next few weeks but we would like to ask if anyone who would like to feature on our 'front page', please let us know as we'd love to welcome you. You don't even have to have been a regular player with us to be considered so please don't be put off from applying if you're not.

And so it's over to you now. We can't wait to see your Autumn Gold tags - please join in even if you don't want to take part in the swap (though speaking from experience, this has been very successful and extremely exciting when somebody else's tags land on the doormat!). Don't forget to link back to your tag, and have a great week ahead!
