TIM HOLTZ CHRISTMAS TAGS DAY 5


What else can you say but WOW!!! I'm not sure I like the pearl fringe at the bottom but the rest of the tag is definitely over the top! Lots of technique too!

I NEED TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!

I spend 80% of my "studio time" on the computer or "organizing and re-organizing what just can not be organized!!!! Too much stuff for one room. Oh well... I love it here!

It's been a tough month and I NEED to create something! Anything!!! I have a major creative block right now and it's really annoying the heck out of me! Tim's tags will be a great start to recharge and my two partners in crime, Patty and Linda are coming over on Saturday to make them!! I can't wait. Patty and Linda actually work in the courthouse where I practice and weeks will go by when I don't have a minute to stop in and just say HI. I enjoy their company so much and I know they feel the same.

My husband put up the first Christmas decorations today. He's really into Christmas all of a sudden ... probably because of our granddaughter. It's so wonderful to see Christmas through the eyes of a child - it makes you realize that despite all the problems and all the pressure there is something so wonderful about Christmas... So as of tomorrow (today I am way too tired!! LOL!!) I WILL get with the program! Stay tuned for things to come!!!

TIM HOLTZ CHRISTMAS TAG DAY 4!!


I have not been able to get to my computer all day today and just went on Tim's site to see the new tag. I love the vintage look of it! It's whimsical and just gorgeous. I am familiar with Hellmuth's new line and love everything about it but this can be done without it... I love the whole musical sheet over the numbers... if you don't have the metal numerals you can also use the grunge numbers which have beautiful shapes - after all your covering it up anyway!! And when you mist it, instead of the metal showing, what will show is whatever color you tint the grunge (I would imagine that if you tint the grunge with the Silver Dauber paint from his line it should give a quite similar look). I LOVE the grungeboard! I have tons and tons of it and use it all the time with the Sizzix. Now to go find some beautiful Santa & Me pictures!!! My granddaughter has not taken a picture with Santa yet.... I guess he's not so adorable to a 2 year old because she flees in panic when she sees him!! From a safe distance she yells at him "hohoho"!!!
