For those of you that have been following my blog all year long (or not), I have posted all 12 of my tags from Tim Holtz's yearly challenge. If you click on the photo you will be taken to the actual post with an additional photo and some details as to the products used. To see all of Tim's tags click here. So, which one is your favorite?
Well, it's hard to believe that another year is coming to an end and I've managed to complete all twelve tag challenges from Tim for the fourth year in a row. For this year's final tag I used SU fabric for the background and the Wondrous Wreath set and coordinating dies for the wreath. Stay tuned next week for my annual Christmas Card as well as a posting of all 12 Tags of 2015. Be safe!
Happy November and end to Daylight Saving Time (not Savings). For this month's tag from Tim, I used Etcetera Design Series Paper from SU for the background, QWERTY fridge magnets from themonsterfactory.com and the rooster is from SU's Rustic Rooster set.
Happy Fall! For this month's Tag from Tim, I used a skull pattern from Silhouette and distressed it with several shades of green ink on the outside and red ink on the inside. The skull shadow is actually a black piece of cardstock cut to match the skull. The paper and the sentiment are from SU.
For this month's tag I wanted to use orange and maroon to kick off the college football season (Go Hokies!). In lieu of texture paste I used a paisley texture plate and created an embossed effect. The butterfly stamp is from 2001 and one of my favorite retired classics. While I love the look of vellum, I would probably use acetate next time to preserve the beauty of the stamped images underneath.
Several years ago I had my father-in-law's family photos scanned and I created a photo album for him to replace his shoebox. When I saw Tim's tag for August I knew exactly which one of his photos I would be using. Of course, I have no idea who this gentlemen is or how he's related to my husband. I used an embossing folder for the background and covered the tag with elmer's glue. I distressed and stamped with StazOn and used a green marker to colorize the photo and the old car. I think it turned out fabulous! That being said, I made two errors on the tag. Can you find them?
Happy 4th of July! For this month's tag from Tim I used a retired (2004) SU set called "Star-Spangled Banner". I stamped all the images using StazOn ink and colored them in with SU markers and blender pens. The sentiment is from SU's "Liberty for All" set also retired (2001). Enjoy your weekend!
Happy June. May was a very busy month for us so I haven't posted in while but I couldn't miss Tim's June tag. The focal point for this tag was a Silhouette coffee cup image called "thanks a latte". It actually came with the flower image and then I added the corrugated sleeve. For the background I used a woodgrain stamp and rotated the image to create the grid pattern.
Last month my father-in-law celebrated his 91st birthday so I thought this photo of him and his two sons would be perfect for this month's tag from Tim. For the background I used sticky canvas instead of burlap and I added a variety of ephemera including airmail printables from pinterest.
Here is this month's tag for Tim Holtz's monthly challenge. The flowers and the butterfly are from Stampin' Up's "Nature's Perfection" Sale-A-Bration stamp set and the sentiment is from the "Expressions" thinlits dies. Hope you enjoy and have a Happy Easter!
Here is my tag for this month's challenge from Tim. Most of the products used are from Stampin' Up! except for the tape and the stencil...and yes I made the mistake of heat embossing with copper powder while the paste was wet but I kind of liked the grunge look and just kept going. The butterfly stamp is one of SU's classics!
Happy February! Here is my tag for Tim's 12 Tags of 2015 challenge. This month I used an eclectic mix of items to recreate Tim's look. The card base is Real Red cardstock from Stampin' Up; other SU items include the ribbon, silver wire, brads, buttons, chipboard arrow and heart, silver embossing powder, inks, newspaper print paper, love rub on and newsprint washi tape. The oval frame, the sentiment and a few of the background papers are from other vendors.
I hope all of you are having a great start to the New Year. This is officially the first crafty thing I've done in 2015 and I'm so happy to be participating in Tim's monthly tags for the 4th year in a row. For those of you that may be visiting my blog for the first time you should know that I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I try to use all SU products when possible. For Tim's January tag I used all SU products including stamps, ink, cardstock, vellum, buttons, and ribbon.
