12 Tags of Christmas 2010 Day 2

Wow was day 1 intense or what??
Unless you haven't been paying attention you know I'm talking about


Day 2 introduced us or should I say re-introduced us to creating your own stamp pad.
Tim also used one of the stamps that I have just been looking for a reason to play with. As a lot of people, I don't always have everything Tim uses so you have to let your creativity take over.

I didn't have the clear embossing powder that he used for his tag but I did have some UTEE. I really like the way it bled around the pine needles leaving some of the un-inked background showing through. Looks just like snow edged branches.



I also loved that Tim used a metal embellishment on his tag. For my metal I used, are you ready for this, a shower curtain ring that I got a yard sale, 12 for a buck!
Im loving this years tags, How about you?

  8. Love the effect of the UTEE - it's so much more fun experimenting with what we have rather than just being copy cats! The shower ring embellishment is truly inspired. :-)

  11. Super work there...I love how everyone is using what they have...it's more fun that way...we have to think a bit more, instead of just copying Tim...I think he's enjoying every variation.
