A Year In Review - 12 Tags of 2013

Here are the 12 tags that I completed as part of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2013 monthly challenge. Although I used mostly Stampin' Up! products, I tried to mimic Tim's techniques and products as best I could. Overall I was very happy  with what I created and in many instances I was actually very surprised at how some of the tags turned out. What is your favorite tag?

OWH - Sketch #204

Happy winter! Here is my card for Operation Write Home's sketch #204. I used a leftover gift tag as the focal point for my card and added rhinestone brads on top of circles punched from a flower embellishment.

OWH - Sketch #203

Here is this week's sketch for Operation Write Home. All the products used for the card are from Stampin' Up! including the retired felt ornament. Hope you're having a great Sunday.

OWH - Sketch #201

Here is this week's card for Sketch #201 from Operation Write Home. I used the deer from the "Reindeer Print" set and the Season's Greeting sentiment from the "Many Merry Messages" set, both from Stampin' Up! Since my stamp was so large I substituted the ribbon for the horizontal piece that I wasn't able to accommodate in the background.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2013 (Dec)

This month's tag from Tim featured a product that I didn't have so I decided to recycle a free card that I received from the National Audubon Society. I started with a piece of navy card stock and applied silver ink through a burlap template. I distressed the edges and stamped snowflakes using the same silver ink. I stamped the sentiment on the border from the card and attached a small key from Stampin'  Up!  To finish the card I sprayed yellow glitter mist and attached a yellow piece of seam binding ribbon.
