Y and Z tags

We've made it to the end of the alphabet for the alphabet tags. Here's what I created:
Again with the dictionary paper for the background. I remember when I created these, I had a hard time with them. Y has yellow at the top with 'yes' 'yum' and 'you', no pictures on this one. Z has a zero, 'zen' and a zebra.
Here's what my partner sent me:
I am no pleased with these. I've noticed the sizes of the tags have grown smaller (the V, W, and X ones were smaller as well) plus they're religious. I think that's rude, I believe that's something you should always ask your partner about before sending religious things. Some people would take direct offense, I just think it's rude. I just noticed the cross sticker on the zebra one. She also included a religious mother's day card.Not pleased.

Alphabet tags V, W, X

Seems like I forgot to take a picture of these before I sent them. I'm so glad my partner took a picture when she received them.
 Again, I used the dictionary paper as background. V has velvet, a vampire and vanilla. W has Wonder Woman, a witch and a whale. X has a xylophone.  I had a really hard time with X, it looks like everyone else used X-ray, which I didn't even think about. The picture of the xylophone is also from the dictionary, so I layered it on some colored paper.
Here's what I received:
 And the extras:
Now, don't get me wrong, they're cute, but since one of them isn't even punched and the ribbon is too short to loop through the holes I'm a little disappointed. I shouldn't have to put things together that you're making and mailing me.
Only one set left.

Alphabet tags S, T, U

We're getting closer to the end of the alphabet. I actually finished all my tags awhile ago, it makes it a little easier knowing that I don't have to worry about them (as long as I don't lose them before I need to mail them).
Here's S, T, and U:
Star, Saturn, Squirrel and Shark, they're all stickers from my stash.
Triangle, Telephone and Turtle, the triangles are a scrap of paper, the other two are stickers.
Umbrella, Unicorn, Unique, I had a hard time with this one. I knew I had unicorns, I knew I had umbrellas somewhere, too, but I couldn't find them, this one is cut from a coloring pad. The unique is from a minion sticker collection.
Here's what my partner sent me:
 And they're double sided:
 Goodies:
How cute are those clovers?

P, Q, R tags

This time the tags were for P, Q, R. Here's what I made:
P is for purple, popsicle, penguin, paper airplane and peacock. Q is for queen, quail (I'm not exactly sure this is a quail, but close enough), and question mark. R is for red, rainbow, robot, rabbit and raccoon.
I had a hard time with Q, I was excited to just get three things. I even browsed my dictionaries, I finally found the tiny queen card.
Here's what my partner sent me:
They're cute and simple. I like them. I wish my partner had included a note of some kind. The card is blank and there's no return address on the envelope.

Alphabet tags: M, N, and O

Continuing on with my alphabet tags, we're at M, N, and O this time:
I covered the backgrounds with dictionary paper of the letters. I added the large blue letters to the tops. For M, I added a mushroom, milk, monkey and minion. N is a narwhal, Nemo, and nine. I had a hard time with N. O is an ostrich, octopus and owl.
Here's what my partner sent me:
 She took wooden tags as the background, added corrugated cardboard and then decorated them.
She also sent a ton of die cuts in the package:
 There were multiples of that strip that says Wishing you a merry Christmas

 She also sent me some washi:

Alphabet Tags, D E and F

I'm in an Alphabet Tag swap in one of my facebook groups, every month we do three tags. This month it was D E and G. I had made a D tag earlier, and then I promptly lost it before the swap was due.
Here's what I created:
I started the dictionary background on the A-C tags, and have decided to do it for the rest of the alphabet.
The D has a dreamcatcher, dog and donut on it. The E has an earthworm, egg and eyes on it. The F has a fairy, fox, frog and flowers on it.
Here's what my partner made:
I love the eggplant and the feather on the flamingo
