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:













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:

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!

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!








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? LOL!! But we did it - our fab team have created some wonderful samples to inspire and motivate you and here they are:




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:


Janet

Anne



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:













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.
