And here are The Six Tags Of Texas all together in one of those 7 Gypsies trays. I used double stick tape but instead of adhering them directly to the back of the tray, I sandwiched a match box behind each tag. Yes, I took the matches out - if you are into making cards or scrapbooking or pretty much anything creative, your house is already a fire hazard so why tempt fate? You can always use some cardboard or foam board for a similar effect.
Not that I expect something like this to end up on the wall of any of my faithful blog readers. But there's no accounting for taste and if you have the wall space, I guess you can do worse. This one has worn out it's welcome at my house so it's going to a store for display.
Hope you enjoyed The Six Tags of Texas. Thanks for tuning in and for all your comments!
Too Fun Mark!

Your final display is awesome Mark. This has been a great series and I've enjoyed each and every tag. You did such a great job on them and each is so creative. Fun stuff! Best, Curt

Great job! I love it even though I don't live in Texas anymore - darn! We are moving to Colorado so maybe you need to start doing some Colorado things so I can use this idea!!!

Hahahahaha! You just had to get that last dig in didn't you? LOVE IT! Great final presentation. Hope it goes to Stamp Salado for a little while before it goes on display somewhere else.

Great Job Mark! I love them all (even though I don't do tags either!) I have a great spot to display them - did you send any my way?

The past several days have been WAY less than fun at my job, so it was a bright spot in the day to read your blog & see the new tags--thanks!

These are awesome! Each one has fantastic Texas-style! I'm really partial to the Alamo tag, though. Funny, there is a "Six Flags" about 10 minutes from my house (Fiesta TX)! Have a great day! :)

I am a little behind in my blog reader, as I finally had some time to look at all of your tag posts. They are all wonderful. I really don't know which one I like the best. And of course, you always make me laugh. You did good! I hope the stores realize how lucky they are to get them! I always did!
