My Tim's Tags Project

There are so many people out there that creatively INSPIRE me so much. It is no secret that one of those people is Tim Holtz . He is an artist that pushes me to work outside my "comfort zone" and create "outside the box". I LOVE that he now has a blog.

One of the COOLEST things that he did last month was "The 12 Tags of Christmas". 12 days, 12 techniques, 12 tags. Here are his tags:

I was so excited about this idea! I really wanted to try this! I did it! I took it one step further. I decided to combine the tags, along with some of my favorite Holiday pictures and put them together into a mini album. I really LOVE the crackle paint! If you click on the pictures, you can see it up close. It is so COOL! I did do all 12 tags. A few of them were actually pages (and the cover), but I did do ALL of them. It was a long process, but I am so proud of how it came out! This is the cover which was the "Day 11" tag:

For the first 2 pages I added a CUTE pic of my son Bryant sleeping with his toy Rudolph along with the "Day 8" tag:

On the next 2 pages are some Santa outtake photos along with the "Day 1" tag:

The next 2 pages are pics of Bryant with our "Tom Brady" snowman along with the "Day 10" tag:

The next 2 pages are Bryant with the "Official Santa Photo" along with the "Day 9" tag:

Bryant LOVES to play outside. The next 2 pages are a CUTE picture of him outside along with the "Day 5" tag:

The next 2 pages are Bryant decorating the tree along with the "Day 3" tag:

How FUN! The next 2 pages are pics of the cookies and milk for Santa along with the "Day 7" tag:

Bryant's "Mini-snowmen" along with the "Day 2" tag:

The next 2 pages are a pic of Bryant with his new Nintendo DS along with the "Day 12" tag (which I made as a page instead!) :

A few of Bryant's (other) favorite gifts, along with the "Day 4" tag (which I also made into a page!) :
And LAST, but not least, is the "Day 6" tag:

I know this is a long post and it did take me a long time to complete this project, but I am so PROUD of how it came out! I did this! It is a GREAT feeling! TFL!! AND one more time, Thanks to Tim for the inspiration!! He ROCKS!!! :-)


***PS-ALL of the pages and the cover are made with Grungeboard". This stuff is so AWESOME!!!***

Was that you and Tim at Absolutely Everything? I got a photo of me with him there too! I wonder if we were there at the same time!

Wow! I just printed these tags off Tim's blog the other day. My hope is to get thru all the techniques by NEXT Christmas. What a great idea you had to work it into a book though. I might have to lift that one. Thanks for the inspiration. -Jill
