Hi Friends and Fellow Crafters!
I love swaps! I haven't been doing many since our fabulous Yahoo Group disbanded, but recently I have been dipping my toes back into the swapping waters. There was a Stick Pin on the Circle boards hosted by the wonderful JJewel and it was a blast! Here is my contribution.
My name on the board is GoneScrappin', so my Cricut bug was going scrapping, or maybe card making.
Here's what 20 bug tags looks like!
Making the pins was much easier than I thought they would be. Of course mine aren't nearly as ornate as some that I received, but I have plenty of fabulous ideas for future pins and swaps! Here are the tags I received in the swap. They are all gorgeous little works of art! Boy, there are incredibly creative people on the Cricut Message Boards and I am very happy they are there! There were 3 groups, but I was only in Group 1. The next time I will make sure to join all the groups.

The next set of pins were a direct swap between group 1 and Group 2 because we each had 1 drop out.

A big thank you should also go out to HodMom for helping to mail our boxes. She was kind enough to put my tags in a smaller box to help save some of the shipping costs.
Jewel was an awesome hostess and kept the thread lively and fun. She also provided us with some great links for creating these stick pins. I really liked this video, so I am sharing it with you today. Maybe these will inspire you to try some pins out for yourself. Be forewarned, it is really fun and addicting!
Thanks, Colleen for taking the time to photograph each tag and the pins. Wow - the "collection" looks totally great that way. I'm so glad you joined in this swap because your tag is wonderful and the pins have such amazing colors! I love both the tag and the pins. Thank you again for posting and participating.
