A fun game

Hello everyone and welcome to you all!!
Today I am sharing a tag card with you which I made for a fun pay- it- forward game on Facebook recently. This was the text of the original post: 2013 creative pay-it-forward, the first 5 people to like this status will receive a present from me at some point over the next 12 months. It could be a card, a tag or something altered, but definitely crafty. There will likely be no warning and it will happen whenever the mood strikes me. The catch is those 5 people must make the same offer in their Facebook status.
Well, there you have it. The mood struck me today, so here is the first project, created with a #10 size tag, inks, texture fades and stamps mainly from Tim Holtz with one or two others thrown in for good measure. Now the question will be, who of the first 5 commenters will get it???
Inside the tag



this is the back of the tag and below you can see some detail still.


Well, here's hoping that whoever I decide to send this to will like it. Thank you for visiting and a very warm welcome to all my new followers!

    Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous Astrid, really beautiful work as you always makes. I sure don´t know, where you get all these wonderful ideas from, but boy I love what you create always. I wish I could make anything like this too, but my style is much different, even I love this.

    What a gorgeous book and it would be wonderful to carry on such a great idea by sending a crafty item on to another five people in return. Well worth it, I would say.

    Hi Astrid,
    Your creations are always an inspiration and "eye candy," I truly luv and admire your work.
    Thanks much for stopping by my blog today and leaving a comment, I truly appreciate both. To answer your question -- I wish I could take credit for the purple flowers cascading in the the girl's hair, but I found that image on Internet as is. If you would like the image I would be happy to share with you.
    Take care,
    Barb in Texas

    Sound like a great idea, that swap with surprise thingie!

    Love your tag very much!!! Great use of the gorgoeus dragonfly stamp (I am not sooo excited about Tim's blueprint series, but seeing your tag using the stamp so beautifully, may change my mind).

    Greetings from snowed up Vienna,
