Description:

This is the last tag for this year long series. I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have.

You can use a premade shipping tag, or make a sturdy tag in the shape of a premade one. Don't forget to reinforce the hole at the top if you create your own, so that it's sturdy.

Decorating

You will be decorating your tag on both sides, the main focus will be the front with the back lightly decorated. Your Swap-bot name and date created must be included on the back.

You may use any media means you wish except making this fully digital. Feel free to use paints, inks, papers, ephemera, drawing, rubber stamping, collage, etc. You may add extra little decorative bits like a little pocket, fibers, or paper clip. You may want to leave a bit of space so that your partner can write on her tag if she wishes.

You need not be an artist, but you will need to put some time and thought into creating your tags. No sticker slapping - which includes slapping on die cuts!

Tag Size

The tag you use should be around the size of a NO. 5 shipping tag, which is 4 3/4" X 2 3/8. Bigger would also be acceptable, but your tag cannot be any smaller. Varying the size of the tags would give the journal some interest and a more eclectic feel.

Theme

The theme for this round is Winter Blues. The tag will be created mostly in the color blue depicting things of winter.

Sending

Please secure your tag safely in the envelope to minimize chance of damage. Be sure to include the swap name and your name on the envie.

If you have any questions, please PM me or comment below :)

Happy creating!

Can you clarify: these tags are meant to be used for journaling, correct? So they should be able to be written on? (I received one journal tag made of fabric that was unusable as a journaling surface.)

This was the original intent of this swap. As I read back through I read this under decorating: "You may want to leave a bit of space so that your Partner can write on her tag if she wishes." So an all fabric tag with ni paper attached to journal on would not be a 5.
