Tag set 7 in 1 #1

Hey ladies, this swap is a once a month tag set of 12 tags, one for each themed month. My vision is this: I purchased an open backed frame, strung picture wire, two lines across, one about an inch down the second one slightly less than half way, I want to hang, with mini clothes pins, 12 tags 6 per row and place this on my mantle to display. You can choose to do the same or create your own way of display, or just join the swap for the tags you want.

This first tag is for the Month of November. The theme is fall, thanksgiving, grateful, what ever that means to you. Think fall colors, leaves, cornucopia, etc... lets keep them sophisticated, works of art that we are proud of, that others would die to show off, dont skimp, go all out on this tag.

These are senders choice with a few requirements. ;)

Required elements 1. Each tag needs to be 3 in X 5 in.. so that they are all uniform.

1. Each tag needs to follow each months theme, in a vintage or shabby chic style or both.

2. Each tag need to be backed by chipboard, cereal box thinckness.

3. Each tag needs the back lightly covered, patterened paper, little stamping, name and date, as this is a piece of ART. no swap name on the tag.

4. Use a minimum of three fibers, ribbon etc in the center hole of the tag.

5. Add a dangly element from the ribbon center hole section.

6. Include a small note stating the swap name and which elements you used so your partner doesnt have to wonder, what may be obvious to us may not be to another.

For the 7 in one aspect... each 7 you choose can not be combined into one element when you count your items, for example, lets say i choose, heart, inking, embossing, I can choose to make an inked, embossed heart, but when i count it, it will be just a heart, i will have to have inking and embossing somewhere else on the tag. Feel free to add as many as you like, I plan to ink everytime but may not count it as one of my aspects each time when i make my list for my partner.

You are not limited to this list you can add more, and should do more... to make them chunky, bulking, busy...add your own creativity, your personal style. I selected a pic that to me looked busy and full above.

quick overview just for review--- 2 1/2 by 4 3/4 chipboard, chunky, vintage tag, with 7 elements sender choice, ribbons, a dangly item, fall / thanksgiving themed signed and dated.
