Workshop Scraps version of Tim Holtz's tag # 6 for 12 Tags of Christmas 2011

Hi All,

If you read my previous blog post, you would know that I started gathering my "limited" supplies earlier today for making tag #6 for the 12 tags of Christmas on the Tim Holtz blog.

Tim Holtz tag



                                            




Just love having the GREAT "opportunity" to figure out how to make a somewhat similar and lovely tag.  I am really starting to see just how limited my Rangers and Tim Holtz craft stash is.  I'm already planning on how to put my Michaeal's and Hobby Lobby coupons to better use.

December 5, 2011 Christmas Tag My version of tag # 5 of the Tim Holtz 12 days of Christmas. For a few years, I've wanted to participate in...

My version of tag # 5 of the Tim Holtz 12 days of Christmas.  For a few years, I've wanted to participate in submitting my version of Tim Holtz's tags he features on his blog for "The 12 Tags of Christmas", but I am always too late to start.  Sooooo, this year I've been checking his blog starting on "Black Friday".  He has the wonderful movie type preview of this event.  I have anxiously awaited his first tag post.  I have many of the Ranger, Tim Holtz products, but not nearly enough to duplicate his items/tags exactly.  Participating in making my version of his tags lets me really tap into my creativity ability (or inabilility).    Well, as you could guess, my life got crazy and when I thought of Tim again was on last night when tag #5 was posted.  I have already missed making tags # 1-4.  I was a little disappointed in myself for about 1/2 of a second.  I decided, to just start with tag #5.  And here it is!  Of course, you'll need to see the original idea to know just how "creative"  I really had to get (LOL).

This is Tim Holtz's tag.  Big difference I just think he is amazing.  You must take a look at his site if you're any kind of crafter, artist, etc.  I realize that I need more alcohol inks and not just Distress inks.  Oh well, onto day/tag #6.  It's going to be fun since I do not have most of those items either. I do have my Cricuts.  So, I'll be searching for the right Rei

Can't Ever Start Too Early For The Holidays

It was so much fun creating this banner for my cousin who hosts a Thanksgiving "feast" every year.  Of course, the letters and background tags were cut from chipboard using the Cricut Expression.  These tags were covered with scrapbook cardstock.  After painting the letters, everything was adhered using Modge Podge.  I found copper colored grommets for the holes on sides of each tag.
