TH 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 11

And we're almost done with the 12 Tags of Christmas.  I've had so much fun doing the tags this year, that I don't want the fun to end.  But as all good things .... must come to an end!

I'm loving all of the techniques, but once again, I have to use whats in my stash.

Take a look at Tim Holtz tag #11:

And now, here is my rendition of tag #11:

TH 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 10

Ooohhh... and I thought there was nothing else that could be conquered.  Boy, was I wrong at that.  Tim Holtz is still dazzling us with more techniques.  This is bringing back techniques that I've done in the past , but haven't played with for a little while.  I'm loving every minute of this journey.


Here's Tim Holtz day 10 tag:

And now, for my day 10 tag:

TH 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 9

And for today's tag, Tim Holtz showed the technique of double embossing.  I will have to try this more often.  I emboss a lot, but never 2 embossing.  I like the look of this.

So, here's Tim's day 9 tag:

I'm using my stash... and the one thing that I don't have are the Halloween dies.  But I can see some of them in my future.  So, without futher ado, here's my rendition of tag #9.

TH 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 8

And its a Steampunk Christmas tag.  I'm in love with what Tim Holtz has done with todays tag.  Very nostalgic.  I don't have a few of the elements that he used, but I'm going to work with what I have.

Here's Tim's Tag:

TH 12 tags of Christmas - Day 7

Yep, I'm still at it.  Taking me longer than I wanted , but I'm getting there slowly but surely.


Tim Holtz is at it again.  I'll have to wait til after he's done to pick my favorite.
Here's today's tag that he created:

And now, for my tag.  I didn't have the stamp set that he used nor some of the distress stains... but its all about using what you have in your stash.

TH 12 tags of Christmas - Day 6

And onward we go.  What a ride Tim Holtz has been taking everyone on.  I'm in love with the techniques that he is sharing.  Some things aren't for everyone, but I am trying them out to see how I can incorporate them into my everyday... lol.... crafting.


Ok... yes, I'm a wee bit behind.  but the weekend is here and I'm hoping to catch up with the last 4 tags before the weekend is over.


This is Tim's tag:

While trying to figure out how I was going to tackle this tag given that I didn't have that embossing folder, I still wanted to try out the techniques that was shown.  I dug through my stash and pulled out the embossing folder that was previously used .... the Christmas words.  I was going to make it work.


I gathered all of the acrylic paints that I have in my stash and went to work.  I think it came out pretty nicely.

TH 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 5

And moving right along.  I'm only 2 days behind now, but by the time I post this one, I will be back to being 3 days behind.  LOL!  Oh well... life is grand.

Todays tag was another wonderful creation.

But after realizing that trying to use alternative method for the creation of this tag, I went with the alternative tag.  I think I like it even better than the first one he displays.

This is the original tag:


This is the alternative tag:

So after working on the first tag and deciding it was not coming out as I wanted it to, I nixed the tag and went for the alternative.  Here's my version.
