Monthly Tag SwapThese are great fun! It is an opportunity for scrappers, stampers, mini album makers, and artists to show off some of their techniques and skills - or to try new ones. All you need to do is decorate one tag (see rules below) for each of your partners.

There are lots of ideas, suggestions and techniques on the internet. Just do a web search, or better yet, check out YouTube. Search "Tim Holtz" on YouTube for some great ideas.Or go to Tim holtz Blog...http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/

Here are the rules:

Dimensions: No smaller than 5 x 3" or larger than 3-" x 6-" (shipping tag - size #8, approximately 7.5cm x 16cm).

You will make one tag per swap partner for a total of 3 tags.

Reinforce the tag with a lightweight chipboard, or the like, to keep it from bending in transit.

Participants MUST use at LEAST 3 art techniques or mediums on their tag. I don't mind glued images, but if that is all that is done the recipient is left with little more than a piece of cardboard - literally. You can paint, stain, draw, stamp, age (tear, stain edges, etc.), embellish with 3D objects, decoupage, wet/dry emboss, splatter paint/ink, blend inks/stains, etc. Check out the huge library of ideas on YouTube (caution: YouTube does have some very adult content - the craft videos are typically obvious. Just be aware when clicking to view.)

To distinguish this from the "SKINNY" (3" x 5" decorated card) that is exchanged here on swap-bot, add a hole to the top of the tag (if there is not one already) and add some kind of fibers or chain. Small charm(s) is (are) nice but optional.

On the back, please sign your tag. Also note the month and year of creation, the name of your tag (if you've named it) and where you are from (city, state/province, country).

Participants have the whole month of November to make and send their tags. Please put your time and effort into creating a piece of art your recipient will treasure.

This is an international swap, so please be aware that shipping costs may reflect that - if your package is going overseas. If your partner is overseas, please allow time to receive your swap. Some swaps may take as long as a month to get to their destination.

No recent or unexplained 1's or 3's. Newbies are welcome with well filled out profiles. Please e-mail me with any questions. If you are willing to make an extra tag to angel - just in case, please let me know. I don't believe the artists who join this will flake, but it is nice to have back-up if needed.

I reserve the right to edit this swap up until 48 hours before partner assignment. Please check to see if any changes are made. I do not anticipate making any major changes.

Thanks for checking out this swap - I hope you join us!

I am confused....how many swap partners do you have? Your listing says 1 but your description says 3.

I didn't understand too. 1 partner 1 tag, right? or 3 tags for 1 partner? :s

I am sorry I forgot to sign my TAGs and put info on the back. I thought if I do that the person who receives can't give it as a present or attached to presents on X-mas. I want to give tags attached to my presents but I don't want to have things on the back. So I attached a not and a X-mas card together ;)

I got a new laptop for Christmas then I had to take it back because it never would get on the internet. I sending the tags to all my partners this week. I'm so sorry for all this.
