Day 8 Tag

2012-01-08T19:21:00.000-05:00

This is really fun I've been using all my wonderful Christmas gifts. Love all the ribbon I got plus I so need more Film Strip Tape I go through so much of it.

Day 6

2012-01-06T16:56:00.000-05:00

It's a Beach Day today for this tag. Not sure I am going to keep the house on this background so I didn't add any ribbon. Hubby has had a really bad day. Hate that he suffers so. We went to the doctors yesterday and still do not have the complete picture. The seizures seem to be causing havoc with his pulse and heart rate and the residual effects of the proton radiation from his brain tunor are still causing severe headaches.

Tag Day 5

2012-01-05T20:41:00.001-05:00

What a long day today was, four hours at my husbands doctor and the news wasn't encouraging. Decided to make one of his favorite tags from Tim's 2010 Tags. It put a smile on his face and after a day like today he deserved it.

Tag Day 4

2012-01-04T17:50:00.001-05:00

One of my favorite alcohol ink techniques and oh so easy. I've made this tag before but because it feels like winter here in Florida I was drawn to do it again and may I just say brrr

1st Tag 2012

2012-01-01T19:20:00.002-05:00

So I was on facebook and kiddingly (not sure that that is a word) chatting with the BTS guru for Tim Holtz the amazing Mario I said we should do a Tag 365 days of the year. First Tim Holtz does this amazing thing every year called the 12 Tags of Christmas. Each of his tags are beyond stunning . Such a talented man. I love following it every year plus he gives out some amazing prizes, this year I actually won a prize. It's great fun and the work they put into this project is so appreciated by all of us. Well because I opened my mouth I've decided to do it. I'm going to post a new tag everyday .

Today I decided to start out with things I just love and of course Tim Holtz products, I also made a deal with myself if I do this and don't miss a day during the month I'm going to win a prize. Well I'm going to go buy some Tim Holtz products which to me is winning a prize.

For today's tag I used Fanciful flight die cut 2 times in black and 2 times in vintage music paper.

Time to start the Christmas Cards

2009-11-03T15:13:00.000-05:00

I usually wait until the first week of November to start my Christmas Cards & presents, it just doesn't seem right before then. So for the next few weeks I'll be busy making 75 Christmas Cards all different, 20 or so Christmas presents, I'm hoping to make everyones this year and then baking and decorating. I Can't Wait.

2009-10-28T23:50:00.000-04:00

I couldn't resist sharing this picture, this is one of our cats her name is Honey and as you can see she is a Maine Coon Cat with an attitude.

2009-10-20T22:16:00.001-04:00

Our next Friday Night Challenge is a Dog or Cat Card. I have four cats so a Cat Card it is. I think I fell in love with cats when I was little because growing up we couldn't have cats as my brothers had allergies. So when I was able to have one I went a little crazy and if one was a great pet four would be better.

2009-10-18T20:43:00.001-04:00

Even though we are away from NH. We have moved to Florida recently I still send a scan up to the Friday Night Card Group. This was my card for the fall theme week.
