Cupcakes Oh my....!

Happy Sunday Taggers, and welcome to the final week of our Tag Swap. Our theme this week is entitled Cupcakes, Oh my...! Isn't it funny how themes seem to all come together at the same time in blogland! When we drew up our list of themes and dates back in March this year, no way could we have forseen the many other Cupcake challenges that would be open this week also. I have noticed several Cupcake challenges on my travels this week which is fantastic, because now we know that there are just HUNDREDS of Cupcake images out there just longing to be used again! So hopefully, those of you with cupcake stamps/images/diecuts, etc. will want to get those out again and join in with the last of our June themes and hopefully swap them!

So, whether you've done one theme or all four themes in June, and are ready to swap your tags, Please email Janet for details of where to send your tags to. For those who are taking part, please could you have your tags posted off to Janet by Friday 9th July at the very latest so that by this date, she will have all the tags that are to be swapped together, ready to be re-distributed to everyone who played along with us. Please would you also write your name on the back of the tag so that we know who's tags we've received back.

So, without further ado, here are some samples of Cupcake tags made by our wonderful team:

Now it's over to you! Can't wait to see your yummy Cupcake tags! Don't forget to leave your link! :o)

Make your own Ribbon Embellishment

Happy Sunday again folks! Nice easy one for you this week. We've seen some wonderful tags over the previous weeks and we're really hoping that all those June one's will be going into the tag swap because they are stunning!!! It's still not too late to join in though so if you're only just reading this for the first time and wish you'd found us sooner, don't be put off - you can either catch up at your own pace, or just jump in now and do the next couple of themes. How ever many tags you send in, that's how many you will receive in return. So get those scrap boxes out and get tagging!!

Our theme this week is to Make Your Own Ribbon Embellishment! What could be simpler? Our lovely creative team here have been making samples to hopefully inspire and entice you to join in and here are their fabulous efforts:

Sam

Anne

Pascale

Janet

Just one more theme to go now and we'll be ready to swap - we are really excited about this and hope you're as keen as us!

On a personal note I (Anne) would like to apologise for not being able to get around and comment on everyone's tags from last week. It's nothing personal I assure you - I seem to have picked up a blog bug that isn't allowing me to comment and I can't get to the bottom of it! It keeps asking for my password and then tells me it's invalid (which I know isn't true!) and until I've managed to find out what's happened, I may miss some people out which is really sad because I have been sat at my pooter squealing with delight over your tags! I will keep at it until I've cracked it though ;o)

In the meantime, hope you all have a wonderful week ahead and we can't wait to see your ribbon embellishments! Happy tagging!

Needle and Thread

Hi Taggers and welcome to the first of our June themes! Today is the start of the June Tag Swap and our first theme to kick us off is Needle & Thread. As always, you can interpret this in any way you like just so long as your submission is on a tag.

If you don't already know about it, we are offering you the opportuity to receive some wonderful surprise tags at the end of June, by way of a swap. When all 4 themes are completed, you just need to send your 4 tags (or however many you've made) to our lovely teamie, Janet, (click the link to email her for her addy to send tags to) along with a stamped addressed A5 envelope to receive your randomly selected tags from other players and DT back. All of the team here will be playing and we would love it if loads more joined in because the more people that play along, the bigger more random the selection will be, so please grab our button for your blog and tell others about it!

OK then, here are the samples from our wonderful team to start you off:

So there you have it, and now it's your turn. Please don't forget to add your link so that we can come and visit you, and please tell others about it and hopefully we will get a good selection of tags to swap around!

Happy Tagging,

Heaven Sent

Happy Sunday Taggers! We had a great week last week and a few more of you played along which we were delighted about as there were some amazing White tags to feast our eyes upon! Thank you so much to all of you who played along and we hope you enjoyed making your tags as much as we did!

Well this week we're looking above us and all around us as our theme is Heaven Sent. Once again we ask you to interpret that in any way that suits you, but don't forget to leave us a link so that we can come and see your gorgeous creations for ourselves. Here's a few tags that our wonderful creative team have come up with to whet your appetite further:

Janet

Pascale

Anne

We hope that these have inspired you to go and grab a few scraps and create a beautiful tag of your own.

Don't forget also that next week we are starting our June Swap - this is a fantastic opportunity to receive a randomly selected tag from another player in the post - what a wonderful surprise. If you haven't done so already, please help yourself to our tag button to remind you to join in and hopefully bring others in because the more tags we have submitted, the greater the selection we have and the more random the swaps become. The team here are soooo excited about this and we hope you are too! Our lovely friend and teamie Janet is going to coordinate this and what we will be asking you to do is to send the tags you make during June to Janet (click the link to email her for her addy) along with a stamped addressed A5 envelope for your random selected tags to be returned. Obviously all the tags will be different sizes and weights so you might like to allow for that in your postage (and maybe even a padded envelope?). Please can we ask though that you ensure that ALL your tags will fit comfortably inside an A5 envelope - some of the team here are having to learn to make smaller tags just for this swap!! LOL!!!

In the meantime, we wish you a wonderful and creative week ahead. Whatever you do, enjoy it!

A Whiter Shade of Pale

Happy sunny Sunday taggers!! I hope you're having sunshine where you are too - it's positively tropical here, and there's nothing like a bit of summer to make you feel creative! So delve into that scrap box of yours and produce a tag for this week's theme which is A Whiter Shade of Pale (if you're not singing now, you're too young to play! LOL!). Basically this is a great opportunity to use up all those white card cut-off's you've been hanging onto. We don't do impossible here though, we do accept that you do need a little colour but your tag should have an overall 'White' appearance. If you're stuck for ideas (though I'm sure you're not!) our fab bunch of teamies have produced some wonderful samples to inspire you:

Linda

Janet

Now for the exciting news we have for you. Are you someone who loves to receive surprises in the post? Well, throughout June we have decided to host a tag swap. This will mean the 4 tags you make for the June themes, if you choose, can be swapped and you will receive 4 different ones back, chosen at random, from all the tags submitted. Its very important, if you want to take part in the tag swap, you should make your tags small enough to fit into an A5 envelope. As the themes go on we will give you more information but for now we wanted to share this little bit of excitement. We are buzzing at the thought of receiving 4 tags from you folks so we hope lots of you join in. Please share the tag swap on your blog too as the more join in the more tags there are to swap! It's really easy, it's great fun and you get a fab surprise at the end of it! Don't forget to keep popping back, the first theme for the Tag Swap will be on Sunday 6th June!

In the meantime, we wish you a great week ahead! Happy Tagging and don't forget to leave us your link!

Aren't they just gorgeous? Now then, take note - if you're someone who loves to receive surprises in the post, keep tuning in because we have an exciting announcement to make next week to keep you tagging right through June! I'd love to tell you what it is but the girls have put a gagging order on me so I'm afraid you'll have to wait just a few more days!

In the meantime, once you have made your Romantic Vintage tag, don't forget to link it here so that we can come and have a swoon over at your blog! Aand before we go, the girls here have some wonderful creations on their own blogs which if you haven't seen already, you should hop over to see what else they get up to! :o)
