TIM HOLTZ CHRISTMAS TAGS DAY 10!

This is so gorgeous! Got to try it! Coincidentally on some of my groups we've been playing with the mini-misters and the distress ink "mists". It's addictive!!! If you add more than one color of the perfect pearls you can come up with a great color!! I have over 40 misters with all different colors in them!!

I AM SO BLESSED

Despite being totally and completely exhausted as I sit here and write this (just got home from the office since 8 this morning!), I had to take a moment to share with you how truly blessed I feel.

As I had already mentioned, I spent the whole day Saturday with 3 wonderful ladies. We spent the day making Xmas cards and just "playing' and it was so great! Patty brought me a present on Saturday "just because" and those are always the special ones aren't they? There was no reason for it - not for my birthday (which, unfortunately is December 21) or for Xmas - just because! How awesome is that!!?

On Monday I won a blog give away on my friend Eileen's blog (you have to go check her out, she is FABULOUS: http://artsaveslive s-paperqueen. blogspot.com.) She made this absolutely fabulous Christmas tag and I won it!!

Now today I win the give away on Tim's Blog. AND this afternoon I get a beautiful Xmas bouquet of flowers (WITH candy canes!) from Patty and Linda! Can life POSSIBLY get any better? I will go to bed tonight thanking God for these wonderful ladies and for soooooooooo many others I have me through this marvelous hobby!!!

Hugs.

WOO HOO!!!! I won the give-away in Tim's blog yesterday!!! How very COOL is that!!! I hadn't even gone on his site yet and one of my online buddies sent me an email congratulating me!! Love it! Gotta love this guy!

Take a look at today's tag! It just keeps getting better!

TIM HOLTZ CHRISTMAS TAG DAY 8!

Okay, this is DEFINITELY my favorite. Much more simple than some of the rest and much less convoluted techniques but it is absolutely my favorite!

TIM HOLTZ CHRISTMAS TAG DAY 7!!

Very cool right? The technique Tim uses for the snow on this card is the same technique he taught in Ft. Lauderdale in May but with sand for a beach theme. I've used the technique with sand several times since then but it would not have occurred to me to use it for snow!

WHAT A GREAT DAY I HAD TODAY!

Jodi, Patty and Linda came over today to play! I thought we would do the Tim Holtz tags but we ended up doing Christmas Cards instead! Jodi made the prettiest card - I just had to copy it! Can't think of a better way to spend my day than with these three wonderful women! (When I get one of the Christmas cards done I will post it here.)

TIM HOLTZ CHRISTMAS TAG DAY 6!!

They just keep getting better and better! At least this one is much easier to do than yesterday's!!! Love the Prima Printables. They are very inexpensive and look amazing. Marisol (my daughter in law to be) and I took classes with Tim in Ft. Lauderdale in May and he introduced us (at least the two of us) to these printables. You paint them with the alcohol inks and they look amazing. Of course the one he used in this tag is the ONLY one I don't have!!!
