    All of these tags are SO creative. My favorite is the first one with those gents in the top hats! What a fabulous tag that would be for a masculine card design. Thanks so much for sharing!

    All the tags are great, I especially love the first one. I like the gears and the clock face in the middle. Shari (cricutrookie)

    That´s really a hard one, casue I just love them all LOL. The first one is really cool with the clock on and the blac men and awesome for a mans card, but also the second one is really awesome as it´s in one of my favorit colors green and then it has butterflies on it, which is also a favorit, and it is sooo usefull for really many things, and finally the last one is really awesome in the red colors and useful for a loved one or just to tell a good friend, how much they mean to you, so all of them are perfect in each their way.
    TFS them and what a talented girl to make soo many awesome and great tags here.
    Have a wonderful week ahead everyone.

    I always have such a hard time selecting just one, especially when I love them all. So if I have to, then I would say #1. The colors and steampunk style are just amazing! Fabulous inspiration!

    Oh I love everything, my favorite tag is the first, love the vintage look and the little findings on it. I have such a hard time with tags for some reason, so I love looking at them for inspiration.

    Wow, I love them! Ever since I "discovered" Tim Holtz I've been addicted to tags. My favorite is the green one with the butterflies!

    They are all wonderful, but the green one has a slight edge over the others - the butterflies are so cute.

    That is quite a tricky question as I like all 3 tags - the first being brilliant for lads, the second because I love green & the last for it's that flower that catches my eye. is it possible to have the first theme in the second colour with the flower on it of the third???? I know it isn't for then the uses would alter --- nice bit of dreaming though.
    I love the catalogue I won the last time you did this, I'm always referring to it.

    All of Linda's work is beautiful, but I think my favourite is the green St Patrick's one, and I'm not even Irish, lol.

  25. MaryFebruary 28, 2011 at 2:29 AM

    Of the three tags, I like the pink one the best, because I've just recently fallen in love with the rosette die, and I love letters made with glossy accents! But my favorite thing in this post is the frame - I LOVE it!
