Make Your Own Background

Hi Folks and welcome to another week here at Tag You're It!

It was fantastic to see your brilliant creations last week using Stars of the Silver screen as your inspiration - you sure are a creative lot of taggers!

This week we would like you to make your own backgrounds for your tag and as usual the team have enjoyed playing away with this weeks theme

A little reminder that next week is the second of our monthly tag swaps. I hope you received your August ones safely - we were thrilled you were able to play along and hope you do so again.

For the tag swap we have created a Thank you thread which can be found at the top of the page. Please take the time to stop by and say thanks for your tags - its always great to see who received your work of art x

Really looking forward to seeing your fabulous backgrounds this week!

Stars of the Silver Screen

Happy Sunday once more Taggers, and a big Thank You to all of you who played along with our really tricky theme of No Stamps Allowed last week, you rose to the challenge beautifully!


This week we're turning our attention to the Silver Screen and immortalising all those screen gods and goddesses on our tags. And here to whet your appetite are a couple of samples from our fab team of taggers!

Pascale (Grace Kelly)

Anne (Audrey Hepburn)

Janet (Fred Astaire)

And as usual, it's now over to you - we can't wait to see which Star(s) of the Silver Screen you would like to put on your tags. Thank you so much for playing and don't forget to leave your link so we can come and visit you! :o)

No Stamps Allowed!

Happy Sunday once more Taggers!! OMGoodness, what a task we have in store for you this week - our theme this week is No Stamps Allowed!!! Have you any idea how difficult that was for some of us?

Pascale

Anne

Janet

Sam:

So now it's your turn - we know you can do it! :o)

As an aside, I would like to extend a HUGE apology to Sam and the taggers who want to take part in our August colour theme swap. I put the wrong email addy on the link for Sam - here is the CORRECT link. Watch out for the underscore (_) before the number 1 - it's not a dash (-) sign, Sorry for any inconvenience!

Don't forget to leave us your link and have a great week - we can't wait to see your un-stamped tags! :o)

Monogram

***NB - oops! gave you the wrong email addy for Sam - have corrected it now. Sorry Sam!!!

Happy Sunday Taggers! Oooh, it's been a bit quiet round these parts this week! Hopefully that's because you have still got a couple of weeks to make and send your August colour theme tags. Don't forget to email Sam for her addy to send your tags to when you've finished them - she's really looking forward to getting them to re-distribute!

So onto this week's theme - we want to see a Monogram on your tag. Now it can be a tag with a monogram on, or you can make the actual tag in the shape of your monogram - it's entirely up to you! Just don't forget to leave us a link so that we can come over and see them.
In the meantime, our fab DT have prepared samples of our own for your delight:

Sam:

And now it's your turn. Don't forget to leave your link - we can't wait to see your monogram tags!

Sam's August Tag Swap !

Happy Sunday Taggers! And can you believe it is August already?? Oh Lord, where does the time go? Thank you to everyone who played along with our Inchies on a Tag theme last week - it was so lovely to see them all - there's such a lot of creativity flowing out there!

Right then, on with August and as it's the first Sunday, as promised we have our brand new swap theme. Our lovely Sam has offered to host this swap and she chose a colour theme inspired by the gorgeous photo at the top - the colours being Burnt Orange, Olive and Antique White. Gorgeous summery colours that work so beautifully together. Your theme can be absolutely anything you like as long as these three colours are the predominant ones. The closing date for you to send in 3 tags to swap is Friday 27th August. Please email Sam directly for her address to send your tags to, and Sam will then redistribute any that she has received by the end of August.

So to whet your appetite a little more, our fabby talented team have made their three tags already and here they are:

Anne

Janet

Pascale

Sam:

So now it's over to you. You don't have to show us all three of your tags at once - you can just show them one at a time if you like - inklinkz will stay open for submissions until the end of August so you can just add to it throughout the month. However, if you leave a comment too, it would help us! We can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Inchies on a Tag

Happy Sunday folks and welcome to another TYI challenge! This week we're celebrating all things teeny with the theme of Inchies on a Tag. For this you could have just the one inchie to highlight a certain area or several inchies to create a whole picture ... our fabulous DT have created their tags using both these styles!

Janet

Sam

Pascale

Anne

And now it's over to you, we hope you enjoy creating miniature works of art for your tags as much as we did and that you leave us a link to your creations!

One final piece of news, next Sunday sees the start of our monthly tag swap. Each DT member will be hosting a swap and I (Sam) will be your first hostess :) ... and I'll give you a clue, it's going to be a colour challenge ... quite simply because I love them lol. We all hope as many as possible of you talented crafters play along as it's just fabulous getting art in the mail rather than bills and junk ;)

Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

(Edited to add ~ apologies for the recent changes of scenery to our blog but since blogger added new formats we've been struggling to get the right look and layout!)

Black, White and a touch of gold

Good morning taggers and Happy Sunday to you all. A very big Thank You to all those who played along with our Beach theme last week - hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! I also put numbers in a hat for my super-duper uber exciting giveaway of the Sun & Sand wax tart and the incredibly lucky lady who's number was drawn out of the hat (yogurt pot!) was drrrrrrrrrrumroll.................. MeggyMay!!

Well done Yvonne! If you want to drop me a line with your addy, I'll get it posted off to you!

We're looking a bit classy this week with our theme of Black & White with a touch of Gold tags. The wonderful tag team have put together a couple of samples to entice you to play along which we hope you'll love:

Sam

Janet

Pascale

Anne

Now then, those ladies who recent played along with our June Tag Swap, we hope you were as delighted with the tags you received as we were with ours, and we have some fab news to share with you. One or two taggers have asked if we can do it again and we are excited to say that you were thinking along the same lines as us, and so therefore in August we are going to start hosting a monthly tag swap!! On the first Sunday of each month a new theme will be posted which will be the Swap Theme for the month. Each month a different teamie will host the swap and you will be asked to submit 3 tags for that theme by a certain date. Your 3 tags can be identical, or they can be as different as you like, as long as they're designed for the theme of the month. All tags must be hand-made and not computer-generated, and even if you're not a regular player but would like to take part in the swaps you are also very welcome!

So now it's over to you - we want to see your Black & White tags with a touch of Gold! It doesn't have to be classy - it's entirely up to you and how you interpret it!

Have a wonderful week and don't forget to leave your link so we can come and visit you!
