A Great Place to Start

Sometimes great things happen because you're forced to... Today will be my first blog post because that's the only way to upload my tag to the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas. Tim does this amazing thing at Christmastime... he creates unique tags for 12 straight days. The amazing part is that he shares the step by step details in his creation so that those of us who are creatively challenged can make our own masterpieces.

Here's his  Tim Holtz tag 1:



that inspired this:


I love the pine cones! Believe it or not, they're made out of paper. I cheated a bit and used my Silhouette to cut out files for them as opposed to using the actual Sizzix dies.

Here's a close up of the pine cones:



I used the Ritz Micro Glitter for the sparkles on the snowflakes, just because it adheres well and won't flake off, plus it has the bonus of being extra super sparkly, and that's always a good thing!


Alright, now off to Day 2!
