12 Tags of 2013 - January

Hi everyone!  Happy New Year!
What better way to start of my posts for the New Year than with my verson of Tim Holtz's January tag for 2013!  You can see my inspiration HERE . As always, I really enjoyed making this months tag.
Here is my version:

I followed all of the techniques pretty closely, changing up the colours a little but, and using what I had in place of the product I didn't have.  The embossing folder used for the background was a 5X7 Cuttlebug folder.  The gears were cut from Grungepaper using my Cricut with the Paper Lace 2 cartridge.  I don't own the stamps Tim used, so I used some other TH stamps from my stash. I also used some random embellishments in the place of the gears he used on his tag.
Hope you like my tag and that you might be inspired to try your own!

Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 7 and 8 (#140 Paper Lace)

Hi everyone! Today I have a couple more tags finished from Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas, an even that is taking place now on his blog.

Here is my version of tag 7:

I used the Jubilee Cricut cartridge to make the holly leaves because I don't have Tim's die for that.

And tag 8:

For this one, I didn't own any of the stamps that he used, so I sorted through my stash to find some that would suit the tag. I am happy with the results!
For the gears, I used the Paper Lace II and the Robot Party cartridges. I think this may have been my favorite tag to make so far!

Hope you like the two tags, I can't believe there are only 4 left! Then I will have to get back to my regular Christmas crafting. Nope, I haven't even made my Christmas cards yet! So many projects, too little time - same thing every year!

Have a great weekend everyone!
