12 Tags of Christmas - Day 1

So I decided to take on Tim Holtz 12 Days of Christmas Tags and see if I can keep up.  Oh Boy!  This is a big undertaking for me.  If you don't know what I'm referring to, go take a look at Tim's Blog and you'll see the insanity in which I speak.    I have a lot of the distress tools needed and am going to try to refrain from buying anything just so that I can put it on these tags.  Wish me luck.

Here's my first tag.  I think it came out rather well with the elements that I chose to use.

At first I was just using the grunge paper, but it was a little thin.... so I switched over to the grunge paper.   I used my Cricut Heritage Cartridge for the house and the fence. 

Here's the completed tag.  I even used music paper like Tim did.  LOL!

A close up view of the fence and my ivy bush.  I thought that was a cute added touch to make it my own.

And a close up view of the top of the tag showing the snow capped roof and windows.
