September Color Challange Tags

[alsmouse]

Attention All Lurkers & Newbies,
Your presence is requested to join us in the "Tag-o-licious" Color Challange Swap (TCC). The thought process of this swap is to push you to try new color combinations outside our color comfort zones. We all have that Fav color we just reach for when we make a card, we want you to learn to not go for that one but try new colors. It is a challange to to try the colors in a new way, to work beyond your usual range. So even if you don't join us in the tags swap (which you should since you get some really fantastic tags to give you color ideas), try it at home. So, come & join us, you'll really enjoy the challange to expand your color horizions. Please let us know if you will be playing in this month's swap. New players are welcome to join us.

September's colors will be beach glass blue/water green/lime/white.
As usual the tags will be due in the mail by the 20th of their respective months.

As of today 09/03/08, I have the following players listed:

inky whiskers
spideycindy
pieces & pom
alsmouse
monkeykeeper
poohstamps
AudreyRose
childsp
marstmper
marie
j3annin3
lillibet
1hand1<3
stampinnancy
plus 1 for Amy as a thank you for RSC & 1 for our resident lurker.
TOTAL so far:16

Attention: We are getting more tags (which in it self is super) than a regular legal size will be able to handle well. I'm going to request that we upgrade to a sturdier style of envie. There are 2 options, #1 a padded 4" x 7" to allow for any embelishments that we have added to the tags OR #2 using 6" x 9" manilla clasp envies. Both of these will hold the tags well and allow for them to arrive back to you in good shape. Please consider the new style request will need a bit more postage for shipping.

"Monkey Keeper asked: Is there a color chart we can refer to for some of the colors? Or are the color names specific so a brand of inkpad or marker? Or do we just make our best estimate of what a color is supposed to be?"

"Inky Whiskers replied-A perfectly reasonable question, but nope, we don't use a color chart or a specific brand of anything. This swap is all about stretching our creative muscles by using colors & combinations we might not normally choose to work with. Other than the required size of the tag & corner/hole specifics, you can do whatever comes to your muse & use whatever supplies you have or want to buy. (like any of us need more than the slightest of nudges to head for the LSS )

Some of us go with the first thing that comes to mind when we learn what the month's colors are & others wander around for a few days/weeks thinking about the colors & waiting for inspiration to strike. If you have to use at least one brain cell to come up with an idea for this, then you're doing it right. The point is to do something different, not go on stamping autopilot. This is also a great opportunity to experiment with new techniques & play with new or not often used stamps, inks, embellishments & papers. You should get 8 tags from one sheet of 8.5x11 card stock and so far, 2 sheets of card stock has been enough (w/left overs) to do each month's set of tags. Also, take notes as you go of what you use for stamps (w/company name), inks, papers & embellishments so you remember everything when you type up the supply list for the back of your tags. If you have room, include basic info about the technique. Many of us include this info with better directions when we upload to our galleries as well.
If you're really suck trying to visualize a particular color, try Googling it to see what others in the art world have come up with for that color. This is a very subjective process & there really aren't any 'wrong' answers. So go have some fun!!!"

The tag size is 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" with the one end having the corners cut off at the .5" mark on the 90 degree point, a 1/4" hole punched in middle of cut end
Please, as long as we leave the tag holes undecorated with ribbons & stuff, they will be easy to mail back & forth.
As for cutting of the corners & making the hole so all our tags more or less match...I have a tip for the others: make a template for cutting the corners & punching the hole. For those who need it, if you PM me, I will send out a template. I realize the instructions are a bit lengthy. You will need a piece of light weight card stock that is 2.75"x2".
1) Along one of the long sides of the card stock, use a ruler to mark the .5" from the corner points on both corners.
2) Use the ruler to mark .5" from the corner points on each of the short sides on the same corners you marked already.
3) Cut from one side mark to the mark at a 90 degree angle from it. Repeat for the other corner. (make the cuts in one motion by using long bladed scissors, a cutter of some kind or a craft knife w/ruler)
4) Measure along the same 2.75" side you cut the corners from to find the middle (1 3/8" from both sides) and make a dot.
5) Make a hole by centering the 1/4" punch over the dot.
6) Place this template on the back side of one end of every tag & mark with a pencil where the corner cut lines & hole should be.
7) After marking all tags, proceed with cutting off the corners & punching the holes in all of your tags.
Now you can have the ends of your tags all look the same, every month, and so will everybody elses.
Also please type up a supply & techniques list, shrink it to a size that will easily fit the back of the tag fronts, copy the list to fill the sheet, cut the lists apart then stick them to the back. If your recipe is a long one, include the smaller ones in the envie along with your tags & I will make sure that everyone gets a copy & they can decide how they want to attach it to your tag. Once you have completed your color combination, just mail the required number of tags in a approprite sized envie plus an approprite sized envie SASE inside, I'll make sure that we each get one card of each others work. Don't forget to keep one for your self.
Now go create something wonderful ~C8>

[Inky Whiskers]

Well said, Ms. Mouse!!! :D

[StampinNancy]

Please add me to the September list!

[alsmouse]

You're added. Glad you joined us. Do you need a tag template?? ~C8>

[StampinNancy]

You're added. Glad you joined us. Do you need a tag template?? ~C8>

I have the template and am working on my tags as we speak!

[alsmouse]

I have the template and am working on my tags as we speak!
KEWL! I can't wait to see them. ~C8>

[Spideycindy]

I am having fun with this one! Not so sure about my beach glass blue but loving this challenge so far!<3
Spidey

[StampinNancy]

Mine are done!!! They will be in the mail tomorrow!

[Inky Whiskers]

Did you feel your brain cells stretch doing this month's colors, Nancy? :D

[StampinNancy]

Did you feel your brain cells stretch doing this month's colors, Nancy? :D


LOL - actually the blue and green are my favorite colors, so it really wasn't a stretch for me with those two. The lime green did throw me a curve - but I think I managed!

I've posted it on my blog for those who want a first look:

www.seasidecreativity.wordpress.com

I can't wait to see what everybody did!!:)

[Audreyrose]

I went and checked them out I couldn't help myself! BEAUTIFUL!! I learn soooo mch with these challenges. Mine tend to be super simple compared to others I have seen, but I still love doing the challenge. I learn more and more every time!:clap::clap:

[Inky Whiskers]

Well done, Nancy! Maybe the next set of colors will make you think more. :lol:

Audrey, EVERYBODY has something to offer in this & every other swap!!! Each person brings that element that is uniquely them to everything they do & we all have the opportunity to learn something new when we see what others do when given the same parameters to play with. It may be a new interpretation of a color we only thought we knew well or it may be a different way to attach the pieces together. There's always something to discover or at least be reminded of when we look at each others art. Whether your 'style' is nekkid, ornate or somewhere inbetween depending on your muse's mood, it's ALL good! :D

As for my Sept tags? I pulled together the colors pretty easily & then said to myself "Now what?" :lol: I have the backgrounds done, but have yet to figure out what to put on them. Something will come to me & I have 6 days left to play with before the mail snail knocketh. :eyeroll: I'm hearing a whisper from my muse. She's hinting that maybe I need to pull out the glitz again. :))

[Audreyrose]

Glitz and Bling are my thing!:clap: I try to put a little sparkle in just about all that I do. I have even used glitter on embossing paste when I made a man's card. The glitter (not alot) was sprinkled over a gold Buck (deer) Looked really cool. I don't need alot of glitz but a little can just add that extra POP that you may be looking for.
Thanks Jenna for the kind words. I love doing the swaps and now am addicted to them which reminds me I need to get my Sept card done and in the mail soon also. Have a great week all and talk to you all soon.
Blessings,
Audrey <3

[marstamper]

Jenna,

I figured out what I want to do for my tags, but now have to figure out which box the stamps are in ...or figure out something different. I wasn't feeling well enough to do it this weekend, like I planned...so they await.

[Spideycindy]

Beautifull Tags Nancy! My direction was totally different that is what makes it so much fun to see all the different styles and takes...The Blue is what killed me tho...I like what happened with my take one it. Not done yet tho...
Spideycindy

[Inky Whiskers]

You'll get them done & they will be just fine & dandy, Maralee! :D

[Audreyrose]

Never a problem with your tags Maralee, they are always beautiful. I love all the tags I get!! So much fun!!:clap::clap:

[marstamper]

Thanks ya'll. ;) Nothin like puttin the pressure on. :)):))

I will definitely get this done. I got the parts all cut out at work today. :noway:

[alsmouse]

The first set of tags arrived today, and they get a LFS alert for them. For a newbie to the tag swap Monkeykeeper is really excited.
I'm not putting pressure on anyone so take the time you need to get them done just as long as they hit the post by the mail date of 09/20/08.
This swap has had a few of you puzzling on the colors a little more thatn previous tags but I think you will all amaze yourselves. ~C8>

[Audreyrose]

Mine went ot LCS yesterday so hopefully they will get out to mailed int he states this week.<3

[monkeykeeper]

I'm glad my tags got to you safe & sound!
I'm such a goofball, I was a week off for most of the beginning of September - I actually got in a panic about getting the tags done. Once I realized they were early, I figured I better mail them before I lost them. :)

[alsmouse]

LFS alert Stampin Nancy's tags arrived today. The peek on her blog does not do them justice. You guys rock! ~C8>

[marstamper]

The 20th? Isn't that tomorrow? :laugh: My tags will be on their way....but not till the 21st, because I had to change, once again what I was doing. I just couldn't get to my other stamps, yet. :evil: So...they are almost done, and I will give it a good hard try to finish tonight after dinner. So, there's a chance they will go out tomorrow after all. :shock:

[marstamper]

P.S. I need my attacher gun....and it is buried. Anyone live close with one I could borrow?

[alsmouse]

If the attacher gun is the one that shoots out the little plastic tags & you can't find yours, call a local clothing store & ask if you could bring in your "bullets", & use theirs. There is usually an odd store that is willing to help. ~C8>

[Spideycindy]

Doing the backs tonight so mine can hopefully go Postal on Friday!;)
A day early for me:confused: Wow...it never happens!:noway:
Spideycindy

[j3annin3]

I apologize, i will have to be late with September tags....that or withdraw from this month. My cat is very sick, perhaps dying and i just cn't seem to get anything done even if they won't let me see her again until morning.

[poohstamps]

jeannine, I am so sorry to hear about your cat......hugs and well wishes

[marstamper]

Jeannine,

I am so sorry to hear about your kitty. I hope all goes better for you soon.

My tags are done and going postal tomorrow...on time!!! :)

Hope you get one, too.

[alsmouse]

Jeannine,
I'm sorry to hear Miss Swish is doing badly. I'll tell Tucker to keep her in his thoughts & you know I will be thinking of both of you.
Let us know what you would like to do as to the tags. We have all had our hearts hurt by the illness of our fuzzy families & understand on whatever decision you come to.
Heartfelt hugs, Ann & Tucker ~C8> & ~c8>

[Marie]

So very sorry Jeannine.

[childsp]

Jeannine, sorry to hear your cat is not well.

[Inky Whiskers]

I am so sorry Miss Swish is at the vet's. :cry: Hopefully she'll be feeling better when you see her tomorrow. Give her a snuggle from me & smuggle in a pinch of catnip for her. You know how inferior pet hospital catnip is.

BIG HUGS!!!

[j3annin3]

Thank you all very much.
I think it might be best for me to drop out this month. I don't want to make anyone wait. But i'll be back, this is my favorite swap. :)

[Marie]

I don't mind waiting Jeannine.

[Audreyrose]

I don't mind waiting either. I just hope all is well with your girl. My best goes out to you and her.
Love ya,
Audrey

[Inky Whiskers]

I'm always willing to wait for the good things in life & your tags, dear J3annin3, are certainly all that! :D

[j3annin3]

you all are going to make me start crying again....thank you for your friendship. I did get some work done on them early this morning maybe i can get them finished soon enough to mail themwithout you all having to wait yet again for me.

[Spideycindy]

J3annin3
There is never a time limit on love and you know we all love you and would wait as long as it takes if you want to play as time is not the important issue here...You and Miss Swish are.
Holding warm good thoughts for you both. If only we could help somehow...just now we care and share in your hurting heart over her being sick.
Spideycindy

[poohstamps]

I will voice in with I have no wait problem with things that are worth the wait, and you my dear are worth the wait!!! Now my weight problem is another story

[Inky Whiskers]

Now my weight problem is another story...

Aaah, but its a story so many of us share! :))

More dittos from me girlfriend! It's not the time but the creativity that's important when swapping. We B willing to wait for U!

[j3annin3]

Thank you all so much! It's a wonderfull thing to be given such warmth from people like you. I have been trying to work on my tags and i'm hoping they could be in the mail early next week, only a few days late.

But i don't know how worth waiting for they might be. I don't have a good feeling about them. i think lots of us have found this bunch of colors a challenge. :lol:

thank you all, not only for being tolerant of my tardiness, but even more for your kindness and support.

[Marie]

My September tags went in the mail today.

[Inky Whiskers]

My tags are finished as well, but won't go postal until Monday. Good thing I live relatively close to Ms. Mouse & Sir Tucker. :D

[j3annin3]

I believe i'll be able to get my tags in the mail Monday,if the glue is all the way dry. alsmouse should get them by Thursday or Friday. Thank you all for waiting for me.

[Audreyrose]

No problema Jeannine, your tags are always worth the wait!!

[piecesandpom]

I can tell I've been working too hard - not stamping! My Sept tags will also be off as soon as I can get them to go; my original idea would have worked but after going to two LSS I don't have enough ink to do all 16, boo hiss!

Combine that with spending Sat at the local LSS in not one but two coloring classes - yup, that's the direction I'm going to go in but now have to find the image. I'm spending time at the car dealership tomorrow morning so hopefully I'll get most of the coloring done there and can get them out.

Sorry to hear about Miss Swish - I just got back from getting antibiotics for pieces. She has another urinary track infection; didn't know that is classic for Persian kitties. Don't quite know what to do for her since it's her third in a year. . .

[j3annin3]

Karen, will Peices take cranberry juice? I really didn't think my silly cat would; but she actually likes it....it was something the specialist recommended and it really did help. I started out mixing it with her wet food and then when she wouldn't or couldn't eat anything anymore, i found she would drink it straight from a little dessert bowl, :confusion: go figure. There are also somewhat expensive special treats (which Ms. Swish wouldn't even sniff at twice) and special for UTI foods, mostly they have cranberry, taurine, and active live cultures. Plain yogurt is also helpful. But you could ask your Vet for ideas.

I got my tags in the mail this evening. This was definitely not my best month. Even outside of Ms. Swish's emergency i doubt i'd have done the colors justice, it was a big challenge for me. I made alot of mistakes and i'm not sure how they all ended up being slightly different sizes :shock: if that silly cat were here i could blame it on her. :D

Thank you all agian for waiting for me, and most especially for your good thoughts for my cat.

[alsmouse]

LFS alert (low flying sox alert) X2
You all have done it again. my sox are knocked off. I just got Spidey Cindy's & Maralee's tags today. If you thought the last month's tags were super, what has shown up to date is a serious challange to the title of Tagolisious. This swap is so much fun to host since you each have such different styles. Come'on mr postman, I need to share these tags with the players. ~C8>

[poohstamps]

sorry for my delay this time...they have been done since July but I'm not very happy with them...oh well, They will go postal today....

[j3annin3]

They'll be great Donna! you have fun well excuited designs and i am looking forward to seeing what every you have made. :) and i'm not wildly thrilled with mine either/too. :D i believe we can just make something with out having to be really concerned anyway, it's a good group, you're among friends.!

[Inky Whiskers]

What J3annin3 said! Besides, more often than not, our projects are better than we think they are. We get an idea & if the finished item doesn't look just like what we saw in our heads then we think we've failed. (or at least only gotten a C grade) Plus, as the artist, you can see every little potentially perceived flaw: tag bases 1/16" off in length/width from each other, one tag glued slightly crooked (it's not crooked, its whimsical!), the colors didn't come out the exact same on every tag, etc.....because you are intimately familiar with every tag you make.

1) If you didn't tell anybody, nobody else would notice those microscopic 'flaws' that are bugging you since nobody knows what you wanted them to look like except YOU!

2) If each tag isn't an EXACT duplicate, well DUH!!! We're stamping here!!! If we wanted xerox copies we'd being doing our 'art' on the computer & printing out however many copies needed. Even in art printing, the copies have tiny variations between the prints. Besides, only you & Ms. Mouse will ever see all of your tags together which makes the lil differences stand out more. The rest of us will only see the tag we receive in context with all the other member's tags and they always look FANTABULOUS!!!

P.S. Mine are going postal today too. :D

[j3annin3]

Yeah! What Inky said.... and we're doing this to worka at something not present a "perfect" masterpeice, and we're doing this for fun. I feel better about my tags already, thanks Jenna and Donna. :D

[Inky Whiskers]

You are most welcome, girlfriend!!!

I'm always my own worse critic & have noticed that whenever I sweat over perceived flaws in a project then show that project to somebody I know will be honest with me...they either don't see the flaws I see or see them but don't think they're as big a deal as I'm making them out to be. :lol:

Art, like life, isn't about perfection. It's about progress & I know we've all seen progress in our artistic efforts since we started this challenge. :D

[Spideycindy]

Ms Mouse was totally on board when she and Tucker titled it a Challenge and that pretty much says volumes...some months are easier than others and it goes beyond the colors but the execution and images...so many factors beyond..Color, and Tag, and Challenge.
It is so much fun to work with and through it no matter where it leads us. I have some that I did that I really do not like at all and others that just clicked so fast for me I was amazed. Some are happy surprises and most unexpected outcomes.
Sometimes this brain o mine is the biggest challenge...:))
Spidey

[Audreyrose]

You are all right!:clap:I know I have done some and think they are OK, but then I will get a PM from someone and they will tell me how wonderful they were and I am totally shocked:shock:. I know for a fact that I am harder on myself than anyone else would ever be. My DH does encourage me as he told me some Christmas cards I am making were a big improvement form last year's! Gotta love an honest man!:clap:<3

Audrey

[piecesandpom]

Labels are finally done for the Aug tags - stopped at the P.O. to make sure I have postage so those will be out tomorrow. Sept tags are stamped and will be colored as quickly as possible; don't know if I'll make the pick up time or not. If not they will be out Thursday.

Sorry for the delays here - really still bumming that my original idea wouldn't work! ! ! I may sneak peek one of them on the gallery.

[poohstamps]

you all make me smile!! My tags went postal yesterday they are swimmingly on there way....thanks for all the sweet comments, and by the way i LOVE LOVE LOVE the tags, they are fun!!!! Thanks again, I'm anxious to see what you all created[/B]

[piecesandpom]

Yes! Got the Sept tags done, reciped and the envelope is on the hutch so they can go on their way with tomorrow's mail!

[alsmouse]

LFS alert X2 Yes, it's true, life is better in doubles. Marie & Childsp both prove it, a twin pack of pretties arrived in the Box today. ~C8>

[alsmouse]

I made the mistake of opening my post today & just about got blown over as Ziiiiiipppppppp------>Ziiiiipppppp------->l
l---------pppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiZ<--------------------pppppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiZ<-------<-------<---------<---------<----------<
>--------->---------PoP! 4 packages of Tags blew my sox off. They were so fast that I couldn't even issue a LFS alert to the neighbors. J3annin3, AudreyRose, Poohstamps & Inky Whiskers tags have arrived. I'm still having my head spin as to the Zippyness of the Sox flying off but they are well worth it. I just can't believe the range they all have & you were whining about how tough the colors were this month. I'm SOOO Impressed by the results. Come'on Postperson, get the rest of the tags here so I can shere them with all the players. ~C8>

[Audreyrose]

:clap:Yeah, glad mine made it to you!! Did you like the little present for tucker? Now he doesn'thave to be alone, although he may eat his new friend!:lol:

[alsmouse]

:clap:Yeah, glad mine made it to you!! Did you like the little present for tucker? Now he doesn'thave to be alone, although he may eat his new friend!:lol:

Tucker liked his "shadow". Stared at it, sniffed it, tasted it. It will be a nice addition to his Art Gallery, which is getting quite extensive with all the tags he scurries off with. I'm thinking of getting some plastic sleeves to protect all the stuff he feels he needs to decorate his cage.
(for those who are confused, Tucker is my pet, a domesticated rat. He has his own fan club here since he is responsible for picking the card swap partners & all of the Color Challange Tag colors.) Audrey sent a wood veneer "shadow" of him, which really captures his chubby profile well. Thank you, Audrey. Ann ~C8>

[alsmouse]

{{ Update} Those 4 Zippy tags arriving on the 25th really effected my brain. They were so special that I ended up in hospital overnight while they tried to figure out why I couldn't get my eyes to focus. (I think it was the super tags) But the Drs, after many tests, think it was a petite mal type of migraine, which is a possible kind of migraine but not seen often. I'm considered fine now & have some new drugs & will be monitered more often for them.}

LFS alert! PiecesandPom's September Tags have arrived today. They are very lovely. I hope all of you will be as excited as I have been with these new tags. They have been super. ~C8>

Wow Ms Mouse please take care and don't go hospital on us anymore:shock:
Hope you manage with the new meds and take care of yourself!<3
It is too soon for Trick or Treat!
Spideycindy

[Audreyrose]

:wave: Hi Ms. Mouse,
Please take care of yourself. Don't let the tags WOW uou so much you end up in the hospital:cry: Not only will we miss you, but Tucker will go crazy without his mommy.
Love ya,
Audrey

[Inky Whiskers]

You MUST take care of your precious self, girlfriend!!! :shock:

[alsmouse]

Wouldn't you know it, I get a headache,:shock: land in a bed with a trapeze over it :shock: & a lot of cute male nurses :evil:& I'm feeling too crummy to even enjoy the irony of the whole thing. :)):))

Thank you all for your well wishes. I'm doing better and will be on a new round of drugs to control my migraines. Now I just have to avoid lots of zippy tags. :D
Tucker didn't seem to miss me much since Sis stopped by & explained to him that I wouldn't be home one night & gave him a big mouthful of chezwhiz. I did get a lot of cuddling but after that he curled up in a ball & slept.
Again, thank you for your kind thoughts. Ann

[Audreyrose]

:wave: I sure hope the new meds work. My DH and I have been having headaches lately also but I believe it is sinus related. I unfortunately know the difference between a migraine and a sinus headache as I have also suffered from migrains in the past. :cry: Take care my friend, my thoughts and prayers are with you!
Blessings,
Audrey

[StampinNancy]

Have the Sept tags been mailed out yet? My postal service is generally slow and I'm just wondering if they've gone astray!!

Looking forward to seeing them!

[alsmouse]

No, the tags have not gone out yet. As I am adjusting to my new meds, I have been avoiding driving any great distances since my eyes can't focus on one thing for too long. I have had visits to the Dr.s & a coworker drove me since he was concerned about the eyesight thing. I plan on getting the tags out on Thursday. I'll even walk them there if I have to. I'm sorry about the delay but I would rather have a slight delay in tag delivery than cause an accident getting them to the post office. ~C8>

[piecesandpom]

Oh, Ms. Mouse, please take care of yourself. I've been waiting rather impatiently but your health is more important than 'tag' deliveries.

[Audreyrose]

Please, Please, please, take care of yourself. Tags can wait, you are what is important to all of us!
Hugs,
Audrey

[Inky Whiskers]

Trippin' while driving is not a good thing, Ms. Mouse! Take care of your precious self!!! :shock:

[j3annin3]

Oh sure, you say it's a medical issue.....:noway: but i think you and Tucker are just hoarding them, you probalby have them all in a big pile and are tossing them up in the air and running through them like Autumn leaves. :lol:

not that i wouldn't understand just how that might be fun

[Spideycindy]

I blame it on the virtual margaritas...they can have a nasty kick:)) Hey they will be every bit as exciting when we receive them and knowing you are navigating safely is most important!
Nancy I promise you will be so happy you played with us and I hope you will sign up again!
Spideycindy

[alsmouse]

The Tags have left the building. :D I took the bulging bag of envies of tags to the local postal drop. Played musical stamps, adding stamps for the shorties. The postal gal just had to ask: "You bring a bundle just about every month that are all about the same, what are you shipping?" I had thrown in the ring of tags so pulled it out & I know that if she didn't have a line waiting, she would have loved to play with the tags. I frequent 3 different post offices & each one knows the ring of tags. If it is a slow day, they want to play.
I had tossed the ring of tags in to share with the owner of my LSS. She was so impressed with the tags. You should feel so proud that your creations have such an impact on so many people. I am always happy to share all the lovelies you create & I wish you could see how people react to them. ~C8>

[StampinNancy]

Oh I can't wait to see them! I'll be stalking the mail carrier next week!

[Inky Whiskers]

You & everybody else that does this swap! :lol: Getting swaps back is even more fun than making them. :D

[j3annin3]

Oh i don't know about that Inky. I could go with equal but differently fun. :D

[Inky Whiskers]

You're right, j3annin3! My bad...it's good to make, give AND receive swaps. :D

[j3annin3]

I am really looking forward to seeing what everyone did, those colors were somewhat tricky for me. And we had some many new players. It's goona be quite an envelope :D the letter carrier will hear it pop and fizz and have wonder if that sort of excitement is allowed to go through the US postal service.

[piecesandpom]

It's next month's that are going to throw me for a loop. I haven't even dared dream about those yet. . .

Got mine yesterday...oh happy day!! Wonderful as always :applause: and I agree Inky, it always amazes me how differently we all interpret the same colors.

Thanks all :) and thanks Alsmouse for the "Tucker Tucks".

Got mine today! They are all terrific.

Does anyone else check the stamped images out for items they might want to purchase? I'm definitely going to bring the tags along for the next Virtcon!
