Digi

This LO was created using Weeds & Wildflowers Kit, ScrapGirls Mask & Maelia Designs Wordart. Oh, and I also created my first corners.

I've been doing alot more digi lately. Why??? Right now it just seems easier to do... I'm not saying their perfect, some just don't blow me away but at least I'm scrapping those memories. My LO's tend to look good or bad depending on my moods. But then, so do my traditional LO's. I still have all my paper goodness, it's just setting there waiting for me to feel & play with the paper. LOL

I even received some yummy handmade goodness from 5 Scrap Studio Sister's members + an awesome package from my secret santa that I really want to use but Mr. Mojo is just missing right at this time. I'm hoping the New Year will get me creating again.

My newest LO

On this digi LO, I used a kit from Boutique-Digiscrap.com called The Hidden World. This is a gorgeous fantasy kit. I had downloaded this as a freebie awhile ago and they have alot of really good kits from different designer's. And while your there, check out CANDY COATED SCRAPS (blog link) kits....

End of Tim Holtz's, 12 Tags of Christmas

The 12 Tags Of Christmas has come to an end. Tim did a great job with the tutorials, teaching us some of his techniques. I loved everyone of them and am so glad I managed to check in each day. Congratulations to all the winners and a big THANK YOU!! to Tim & Mario for all they do.

Here's the last of my tags that I made. This first one is tag #12.

This one is tag # 9
And this last tag is #12.
If you go to the link at the top, you can see all the tags that Tim Holtz made. Since I didn't have all of his products, I improvised when needed.

Day 10 & 11, Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas

I've been doing the 12 Tags of Christmas that Tim Holtz has been doing on his blog. So far, I've created all but the 2 I'm behind on and day 12, which Tim will post tomorrow.

Day 3 & 4 of Tim's Holtz's 12 Tags Of Christmas

Here are Tim's 2 gorgeous tags........This first one created by Tim Holtz is from day 4

This 2nd one created by Tim Holtz is from day 3.

Here are my recent tags. The first 2 shown below are from day 3 (Tim Holtz's 12 Tags Of Christmas) using his plaid technique. I use regular cs since I didn't have the shiny but they still turned out great.

This is day 4 from the 12 Tags Of Christmas. Since I didn't have the metal piece that Tim used and couldn't find any of my other metal corners, I used tin foil that I embossed and it's on his grungeboard.

Tim Holtz's 12 Tag's Of Christmas Dec. 1-12

Today is the first day of TIM HOLTZ'S 12 TAG'S OF CHRISTMAS. Above is the 1st day's tag made by Tim Holtz and if you go to his blog, you'll find all the instructions on how he made it. My tag, Have you hugged a snowman lately, is below his.

This is the first time I've participated in his 12 Tags Of Christmas and right now my tag is still in piece's drying but as soon as its dry and put together, I'll post it.

Remember, your tag doesn't have to look exactly like Tim's. (honestly, mine never look like Tim's-unfortuntly) Just use his tag as a jumping off point/inspiration. Tim is also offering prizes each day if you leave a comment. Also, read his blog for today because it mentions if you do the tags all 12 days and take a picture of all of them at the end, then email that picture to him, he'll enter it into a grand prize drawing. (grand prize winner posted on 12/20/09, along with your tag photo and prize pkg)

Here's what he said about the prizes:

- what about the prizes? there are so many things to win during the "12 Tags" and all you have to do is post a comment on the blog. just click the word "comment" at the end of the post and say what you want. it doesn't have to be much, just let me know you're out there. whatever you do, just be sure to leave a comment each day. winners will be chosen at random each night and posted on the following day's post. this year you have 24 hours to claim your prize by emailing me at tim@timholtz.com with your info. names will be removed from the post once the 24 hours is up and any unclaimed prizes will roll over to the next day. the more comments posted throughout the "12 Tags" the more prizes i'll be giving away. it's going to be crazy fun!

now on to the prizes - i think for day 1 of the "12 Tags" i'll start with 12 winners and we'll go from there. good luck and here's to a very happy and creative holiday...t!m
