"Mother's Day" Tags made for the May 14 Craft Hole Swap

The May 14 theme for the Craft Hole Swap was "Mother's Day" (Mothers Day in the US is later than in the UK). As my late mum was a keen needle worker I decided to use a haberdashery kind of theme to my tags and mini notebooks.

The paper and cardboard embellishments came from Kaisercraft, and  simply added a bit of bakers twine, a few pin, buttons and some good ole Glossy Accents.

I was very lucky to receive these three beautiful tags and a mixture of crafting goodies in return. Thank you all so much for swapping with me.

"Anything Goes" Tags Made for the April 14 Craft Hole Swap

I've recently joined an international group of crafters who make crafty items to swap with each other. One of the regular swaps they do, is a monthly tag swap. The theme for April was "Anything Goes" so I used the Typography collection by G45 and made 4 tags and matching mini jotters. It was a really nice surprise to see that two of the recipients made videos of the tags they received  - mote to self I must sort out a camera so that I can do the same. 

I have also posted photos of the lovely tags that I recieved, am looking forward to doing it again in May!
