Black and White/Cream Tag Swap on the Beach

First is a swap that I hosted on Lifesabeach.ning.com.  It was for the black and white/cream tags!  I had fun making mine but had even more fun receiving the tags from the other swappers.   Everyone did such a great job!  Thanks for participating and making this swap a success!  Here we go:

Group #1

This tag was made by Gloria Bedford.  Using beautiful black and cream combinations, small bows with pearl, flat back faceted trim, black feathers, gorgeous tag and ribbons!  Great job Gloria!

This was a tag that I made using Black and White.  I used flat back pearl trim from Karlas001's Etsy Store.  I used the TH embossing folder, prima flocked transparency, Iamroses mini roses, clip from Staples, TH ball and chain with a charm attached, mesh trim and a stamp by Pink Paislee.  Hope you like it!

This is the tag made by Kim Hoff.  She used the Curtain Call line by Graphic45, some pearl bling, a beautiful cream button, lace trim, heart stickpin and a hand made flower from glitter cardstock!  Beautiful job Kim!

This beautiful tag was made by Nicole Hayden.  She hand painted the masks adding lots of goodies!  Flowers, stamens, flat back pearls, feathers, a tag, organza ribbon with pompoms!  Now this was one unique and creative idea!  I absolutely love this!  Thanks Nicole for a job well done!

This beautiful tag was made by none other than Patty Fiske!  There were different techniques used on this tag from stamping to embossing, punches, bling, fibers and a beautiful picture of her daughter!  What a beautiful girl!  Thanks Patty!

This last tag from group#1 was made by a beautiful lady named Vikki from the UK.  She used embossing folders, lace to make her own flower, bottle cap with epoxy, paper flowers, brads, ribbons, charms and much more!  Gorgeous tag Vikki!  Thanks for being an awesome swapper!

Group#2

This tag was made by Belinda Akers.  I love the pockets with the tags, the die cut, fibers, pearl bling and patterned paper that she used!  Great job!

This tag was made by Bonnie Irvine.  She did an amazing tag!  I loved the whole Alice in Wonderland idea!  The way she embellished the tag without over doing it so that you get the top hat and Alice theme was perfect!  Amazing creating ideas!  You rocked Bonnie!

This elegant, vintagey tag is done by none other than Jann Neiers!  I love the chair that is on the tag and the awesome charm as well.  It just looks so real.  Can I borrow your creative brain for a little while?  The beautiful papers and charms, ribbons and inking techniques are amazing!  Thanks Jann!

This gorgeous tag is done by JoAnn McKenzie!  I love bling and she definitely used lots!  I love the heart trim and pearl strands!  Great use of vellum for a tag!  Love the mini cameo too!  Thanks JoAnn for being a part of this swap!

This is the tag that I made.  I used the TH dressform die, Iamroses flower, lots of lace trim, TH Baroque die, flatback pearls from Karlas001 etsy store and different patterned papers.  I love how this turned out!

Last but finally not least, this tag was made by Teresa Boerrichter.  I love the embossed butterfly at the top, the gorgeous handmade stickpin, the prima flower centre, flatback pearls, border punches, feathers and punched flowers!  Awesome job Teresa!

Thank you to all the wonderful ladies who participated.  I plan on using some of these on layouts and other projects this coming year!  I had fun hosting this swap and thank everyone for making it a success!
