DISCONTINUING MY TAG SWAPS

Hi Everyone,
I have decided to stop my tag swap permanently. It is with a heavy heart that I have made this decision. I have so many things going on in my personal and business life. I have made so many new friends by doing this swap and I wish everyone continued joy and inspiration in their personal crafting journeys.Thank you to everyone who has ever joined my swaps, and THANK YOU to all of myregular monthly swappers. I have enjoyed seeing all of the ideas and techniques that everyone has used on their tags. I would like to refer you to my friend, Gina's ning site. She has a variety of monthly swaps that I think you may enjoy. Please check her out at MyScrapRoom.ning.com.  Thank you and many blessings to each of you.  ***Carlene***

RULES ARE SIMPLE- US AND INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS OK

1.   Once you sign up, you are committed. Please make every attempt to finish on time and mail tags on time. If you do not follow through, you won't be able to participate again.  I will excuse for unusual circumstances though.  Why so strict?  I have heard horror stories of people never getting their swap items. So, I do not wish to disappoint anyone.

2. Tags are about shipping tag size #8, made with chipboard or cardboard. Size is 6 1/4" x 3 1/8"
Decorate the front and put only paper on the back and your info...(so we can use it for mini books).

3.   By Request Only For the One on One swap, you mail 2 identically, decorated tags. You can make an extra for yourself but do not send it to me. I will add embellishments and mail 1 back to you. You must include return envelope and return postage stamps.

3.   You mail 5 tags to me and I will coordinate tags and ship the exchanged 5 tags back to you.  **You need to make 5 of the same identical tag, not 5 different ones** Please include a second envelope and enough return postage stamps in your envelopes so I can mail it BACK to you. Also, write your addy on the return envelope please, and send a large envelope.


4. If you are International and cannot get US Postage Stamps, you may paypal me postage to send your tags back to you. Please contact me at PinkScrapper99@yahoo.com

5.  Mail to me by MAY 30th or earlier (I will mail out asap). This means your envelopes must be POSTMARKED before or on the due date....the due date is very important.

6. Beginners must include at least 2 embellishments on their tag. Advanced Swappers must include 4 or more. Embellishments are things like flowers, ribbons, bling, buttons, etc.

7.  Please try to follow theme of swaps, but don't run out and spend money to do them-get creative! You need not use the newest papers or embellies- just have fun!

That's it. If you have questions, just ask me, I am happy to help you.

APRIL TAG SWAP --CLOSED

HI

The theme for April is......TEA TIME!  There are so many cool papers and stamps out that are tea cup related!  I am doing the swap different though. I will still have a beginners and advanced group.  However, I will take 12 names for each group.  As soon as 6 people send me their swap tags, I will send them back out to you. Then, the next 6 will be in the second group. That way, if you send it early and I get 6 before the due date, I will send those out immediately and the next six.....hope that makes sense.    You STILL send out FIVE TAGS TO ME. The DUE DATE IS APRIL 30.

EMAIL ME AT PINKSCRAPP99@YAHOO.COM TO SIGN UP...

Tag Swap is BACK!! Sign ups start NOW!

Hi Everyone,

So, after receiving emails urging me to continue with the tag swap. I couldn't bare to disappoint you all. So, it is officially BACK ON!!  Unfortunately, that means that there is not a lot of time to make them if you join the January Swap. Because they need to be in the MAIL before January 20. I will take sign ups now! Same rules apply but you do not need to include an extra tag for me. You will just make 5 tags for your group and you will receive 5 tags back, because I will have 6 in each group. So make 6 tags if you want to have one of your own tags.(But don't mail me your tag for yourself.) I will also post a list of the themes as soon as can.  Theme for January is.......FAIRY TALES.

Whatever you interpret fairy tales to be....your life may be a fairy tale, you may have a prince or princess in your life, your job may be a fairytale, or you have a fairytale romance with your spouse!!! A favorite movie or book that is a fairy tale, you may live in a Castle....you may love FAIRIES!!!! Those are just some ideas. I will try to put up a tag video but on such short notice I can't do it until next week....So sorry!!

Ok so here is the group list....
