Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - November

Hello! Yes, it is the very last day of November and I have just finished my November tag. This has to be a new record for me, both in terms of waiting until the last moment and completeing a tag in a really short period of time! Wowza. If you would like to see the inspiration behind the perspiration, you are encouraged to look here: http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2015-november/

At any rate, without further ado, here is my version.

Peace.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - October

Hi and welcome. This month, Tim Holtz highlighted his new Zombie die and created a cute and scary tag. The focus for this month is on creating dimension and using the tried-and-true "wrinkle-free distress" technique.

Since I do not have the Zombie die, I created a Halloween scene using 5 different Sizzix dies: Crescent Moon and Stars, Holly Branch, Mini Acorn & Pumpkin, Mini Cat & Raven, and Pumpkins #2.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - September

Hello. The tag for September 2015 is quite nice. It was great fun to make and contains many interesting layers. If I had seen it without the instructions, I would have probably thought "How did he do THAT?" I amazed myself when it was all done. Hence, the sentiment that I chose: "Amaze Yourself." These are good words to ponder every now and then, I suppose.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - July

Hi there. This month's Tim Holtz tag was so much fun to make! I recently bought some Micro-Glaze and was wanting to give it a whirl. It's awesome! It's a waxy substance that you rub over your work and it acts as a seal and resist to protect it. My design does not stray from Tim's design except for some slight modifications to the embellishments. I really love the way it turned out!

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - June

It's almost summer, y'all! My version of this month's Tim Tag has a bright cheery summerlike feel. I couldn't wait to use my new Twisted Citron distress ink, and I gotta say, I love this color! Other colors used: Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, and Picked Raspberry.  I also used Tim's Sizzix "Fresh Brewed" Bigz die and his Harlequin layering stencil for this project.

I don't really know if Starbucks has a drink that looks anywhere near this color of green, but if they don't, they should.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - May

Hi again! This month's Tim Holtz tag is very special to me, because I have chosen to remember the day the stars aligned and I was blessed to meet Tim and Mario in our favorite place - Disneyland!! They were extremely gracious to take a few minutes from their day to spend with little old me. In case you are wondering, THEY ARE BOTH JUST THE NICEST GUYS EVER!

Anyway, here is my homage to them and that day that I will never forget. (Thanks again, Tim and Mario. Y'all rock!) I hope you like my tag. Feel free to leave a comment! Peace.
