CS: 12 Months of Tags #1 - JAN: 2020 US Only

This is the first in our 2020 year of altered tags. You may join all 12 or any one you wish - no need to be present for all! But the idea is that, at the end of the year, you should have a lovely collection of tags for 2020. :)

For this swap, you'll have 1 partner and create an altered manila tag for January, welcoming the new year - 2020.

And in case you want to plan ahead, I've planned out the remaining tags for the year. They are:

FEB – Winter Wonderland

MAR – Shamrock

APR – Cherry Blossoms

MAY – Spring Flowers

JUN – Poppies

JULY – The Beach

AUG – Sunflowers

SEP – Autumn Leaves and/or Apples

OCT – Pumpkins (may include Jack o' Lanterns)

NOV – The Harvest

DEC – Your Winter Holiday (or Un-Holiday) of Choice - Christmas, Yule, Jul, Honouring the Solstice only...whatever speaks to you!

In a Nutshell

• Decorate a standard #5 shipping tag (4 3/4" x 2 3/8") or larger with a pre-punched hole so the tags can be held together with a ring. If you don't have that size tag, you can cut one from heavy cardstock or tag-board.

• The front may be altered in any way you wish - collage, mixed media, stamped, hand-drawn or painted, etc. Please put your best effort forward! The back should be lightly altered as well, but does not have to be nearly as in depth or detailed as the front. Please sign the back too, with your name and the date.

• The art is sender's choice, so you can start at any time - just remember the theme - 2020!

• Tags are not profile based.
