Tag Challenge + May Caard{varks} Kit!


Welcome to yet another Caardvarks Challenge! This challenge involves ~tags~. Make a tag (or 12 of them!) that is inspired by a month of the year! Have your entry linked to us by June 3rd, and we'll add your tags to the Tag Gallery as we move along. The winner of this challenge will receive a prize package from our sister site, Itty Bitty Scrap Shack.

Here's how the Crew saw this challenge (you can see super-sized views of these creations by visiting the Tag Gallery). We are thrilled to have a Guest Designer for this challenge, Laura Davis. You've got to see her tags up close and personal -- just take a look in the Gallery. Oh, and check out her blog, The Paper Poppy - wow.



Now, for the Caard{varks} Kit Reveal! Here's "Hayfever". We've made a huge change to the Caard{varks} Kit Club --- the price of the Card Kits are now slashed in half, only $15 per kit! Click HERE to purchase this kit or sign up for a 6 month subscription on the sidebar. This kit is stuffed!

Coordinating Envelopes
Two Precut and Scored Note Cards with Panels
