The theme of this tag swap is inspired by the wonderful hand painted postcards of the past.1. Cut one 4x6 white cardstock, pink edges.
2. SCRAP FLAT! Use your imagination to bring to life the destination you have chosen to share with us. Layering is wonderful and will give dimension! Be sure and include your STATE name in some way to identify where we wish we were!
3. Save back post card image to your desktop. Print 4x6 on plain copy paper. (Will need to be trimmed slightly) Decorate as you would like, again SCRAP FLAT!
4. Be sure and include your BLOG NAME and YOUR NAME!
Your tags must be to me by June 21st, the first day of summer! I will be bundling our post cards together including a little Flamingo and a vintage post card package.
I am truly excited that you are participating in this creative swap and look forward to seeing all of our cards together. (Boy are my address cards going to be such a help in keeping everything straight!)Until then, I "Wish You Were Here!"

I had a nice little visit through your blog today :) It cheered me up and gave me new energy. haha perhaps I should go and try to start the lawn mower once more? Hope you are having a lovely evening E! Hugs! Chelsea Ann
uh oh...you must have not gotten my e-mail regarding the swap. I e-mailed you back the day you e-mailed me if I wanted to join. I said I would love too....Hmmmm. well bummer. Mica
Hi E! I am SO excited about this swap...however, given all of my travels last summer, I am completely unable to pick A state...sooooooooooo, in typical over-the-top Paula Clare fashion, I would humbly request that my "state" can be "Route 66." I'm going to use photos of the quirky places along the way...and whatever state they happen to be in...well, that's the state I'm choosing (all will be different, so it will be a "roll of the dice" as to who gets what kitschy photo and state!
If this is okay, let me know...if not, please give me a better idea! I'm clueless!
Paula, This is the best idea ever! OMG how fun will this be! I can't wait to see all the kitschy places when they arrive at my home together! Thank you so much for lending your amazing creativity to our swap! You have made my day! Elizabeth
You gals are going to have fun with this one...I can't wait to see all the finished postcards!
YAY! I am SO GLAD you like the idea of Route 66...oh...just you wait, girlfriend...JUST YOU WAIT!
BLue whales, totem poles, and cuckoo drive ins...coming your way!
SOOOO excited about this one, Elizabeth! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
Love all the cards you made for us--just adorable! Hope you're having a wonderful night!
Whaddaya mean Scotland's not a State??? LOL
I really don't take many pictures when I travel around the different states, but when I was in the UK it was a whole different story.....I've been there 4 times and I've got hundreds of pictures..it's my home away from home!
Hugs,
Meri
I love how you personalized all of the pretty creations you made, Elizabeth! You are one-of-a-kind!
Is it okay if I do CA, as well? Lots of California girls it looks like!
Elizabeth..the cards are just precious..thank you for mine!!
Hmmm...I have been having such a hard time with the decisions on Tx..hello we equal 5 of some of the other states..so much to see..maybe several type of cards from Tx.?.?
Or maybe just one type..think simple Cindy..Think simple!!!
Still pondering....
Hugs..Cindy
Hi Elizabeth, I need some quiet time to sit and read through all your past posts that I've missed recently. I just love the look of everything. And your craft cupboard is perfect. I so need to get organized and beautified! Just can't seem to catch up on any one thing of late. Have a fabulous day! :) Tammy
Oh you girls are going to have fun! Wish I could be a stow-away in someone's suitcase. :) I've never participated in a swap but I've so admired all your previous tag swaps. Can't wait to see this new batch!
California it is Jessica! A most favorite state for me - my birth state. Yeah California Girls! E
Cindy, Most of my cards are going to be different. (I have a hard time making anything twice, have you noticed!) Five of one, five of another - perfectly perfect! E
Elizabeth, I would be so honored! If it's to late I understand. But if not, definitely sign me up!!!
I am so excited!! I've got all of my "images" selected and now it's time to put it all together!! Tell Neri that there is a "Scotland, Pennsylvania" not far from me so we can pretend it's from there!! I LOVE the cards you made for us!!
hello! yay I am in! I live in California ..but originally came from Washington... I would love to do Washington state please!!!! Thanks Elizabeth!!!! Mica/The Child's Paper
Mica - I am so glad you are with us. Kari - YOU TOO!

Oh yay!!! I'm picking Arizona only because I have seen such beautiful postcards floating around here in Phoenix. Well that and the only place we are going this year is Bisbee my first summer without my son! So Arizona it is, were my heart is!
I've never made a tag before, but I have enjoyed looking at all the ones on your post today. Thanks for sharing the pics with this tagless girl!

Oh goodness E! You're getting me a bit teary eyed. You are one of a kind! You go above and beyond!! These personalized cards are so very special. I treasure my Retro Kitchen tags and know that I will these as well! I look forward to many more swaps! xo
Elizabeth..Texas for sure!! Thanks for the words of creativity.I am such a leagalistic person..always afraid of breaking or bending the rules..lol I'm glad to know they all don't have to be exactly the same..whewww..load off my pea-brain..lol
Getting giddy over all the ideas..
Hugs..Cindy
Oh gosh, what a fun swap this is going to be. I so look forward to watching from the balcony as the cuteness arrives! Have fun everyone!
For once I am starting early-Yay! I found the perfect cards and now I just have to think of the best way to embellish them. Your guidelines are very helpful and I love the blocks you made to represent us....Loving the squirrel! This will be almost too much fun I think!
xoxo

Hi E! I'm really excited about this and can't wait to see all the fantastic creations this is going to bring about. It looks like you've already been super productive. I love all the tags you've made and it just leaves me spinning to see my name on one.
Have a beautiful weekend. Hugs...Tracy :)
