Fairy Children Inspiration!

Well it is long overdue, as my involvement with the Clark Co. fair has caused me to put this so cute post off.  Last week or so, I recieved my 6 tags from the Fairy Children tag swap, hosted by JoAnne at Vintage dragonfly.

It was great fun to see where they came from.  All but one came from people I have swapped with before.  Here are the tags I recieved.  They are all so exquizitely made and envoke the feeling of spring so well! Just beautiful!

This beauty is so layered and just gets me really excited.  It was made by the talented hands of Mercedes Scott of mercedesscott.typepad.com

This gorgeous one comes from Lorainne Beaumont at rainebeau.blogspot.com

 This sweet one was made by Kimberly Laws at artjoystuff.blogspot.com ( have several of her things scattered around my craft studio)

 This pretty one was the work of the talented Jo West of mypaperplayhouse.blogspot.com

 This cool one came from Sandi McLean at scrapbookinwithg.blogspot.com  I love the textures she used!

This very lovely one comes from Jess Moore of scrapsavings.blogspot.com

And this is how I have them displayed in my craft studio, so I can see them all the time.  I bought this antique carpenter's ruler from Kimberly's Etsy shop last year and unfolded it to hang my favorite tags on.  A few of the tags here are from previously.

Now I will show you the tags that I made for the swap.  I had fun doing them up.  It is funny how it just evolves, and when you start putting them together, you are sure what you are going to do, but one thing leads to another.  I was so happy with the color palatte on these.

and if that wasn't enough fairy stuff, I just had to play around a bit more and came up with this fun little poster.  It will hang in the craft studio too.

I hope that everyone is having a most wonderful April and SPRING!
