"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty."
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

TAG SWAP

I was able to be part of a tag swap from CreateScrapbooks.com. Everyone is supposed to stamp 11 shipping tags exactly the same, then send them into Jana and she will send us back 11 different stamped tags to color, embellish and use how ever we want. I do like creating tags. Check here for others I've done. I haven't done a lot of stamping and I don't have a big collection of stamps, so I made my own. I got fun foam sheets from the dollar store and cut some of my favorite shapes using my Cricut.

 I attached them to the bottom of an old Altoids tin using double sided tape.

Then I inked it up and started stamping. This pic shows some of my first tries that didn't turn out so well. With a little practice I got better.

The finished project

I decided to do the keyhole for the tag swap so I stamped 11 tags with the keyhole and sent them off. I also included a die cut key to go with each one in case they wanted to use the tag in a layout or just attach the key to the tag like I did.
