FIRST WILD WEST TAGS ARRIVE!

Greetings, dear readers!

I came home to two amazing tags from two of my INCREDIBLE blog buddies, Sandy McClay of 521 LakeStreet, and Elizabeth of Creative Breathing. Behold their fab tags!

I LOVE them! For those of you still in the process of creating your tags, PLEASE make your tags a reflection of YOU and your papercrafting style...as these gals have done! The camper tags each had an individual charm that was truly indicative of their creator...I would like for these tags to be created the same way!

SO EXCITED to see what you each come up with! Remember, sign up lasts until the 15th of August...I will make a list of all participants on that day so that you know who your potential swap partner might be! EEK! Isn't this FUN?!

Meanwhile, I am making a Wild West Tag Album, hopefully worthy of all these ingenius tags!

More soon! YEEHAW!

ANNOUNCEMENT! DING! DING! DING!
