As I've posted many times I am a huge fan of G45 but I am also a lover of all things Tim Holtz. I'm not sure if I've mentioned his products before in my posts but I do use them often in my cards and crafts. I follow him on Facebook and Pinterest as well as anyone I see that posts and/or pins anything by him. So, I finally am getting up the nerve...and yes I'm nervous...to take one of his challenges. I actually have a lot of his products that I've never used so I challenged myself to use all Tim Holtz. Wellllll, I came close. The figure is from an old paper doll book I picked up at a flea market several years ago, the ribbon is SU and the words that I cut out as part of the background are a Cricut product. I don't have a lot of die cuts that are words, not do I have a lot of stickers that are words. I'm sure I could have typed them out but I find that I am word challenged and nothing really came to me. I'm sure it will later but I wanted to get this posted before I chickened out! So, here is my tag (also my first tag ever created) for the Tim Holtz August 2015 challenge. Be kind!
I also created my first spool, also inspired by a posting on Pinterest and yes, using G45 papers. I posted a picture of this on my FB page and had some really nice comments. I love the way it came out and am starting on my next one. I found the spools at the flea market and they are so great that I hated to cover them but if I don't start using the goodies in my craft room I'm not going to be able to get into my craft room!
Love it!!

ReplyDeleteFabulous tag Congrats on your win ! I love the Graphic 45 spool too ! Can so relate to the craft room dilemma :)
ReplyDeleteThis is marvelous!! Your very first tag on Tim's blog and you won!!! I can see why. Great job with your layering. I adore the ink dripping down from the pen nib. Awesome take on Tim's tag. Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the color arrangement! I know what you mean about chickening out. I took the whole month to finish and post my tag for this challenge. Congrats on your win on Tim's blog!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! Love your tag (and spool) - your comments about posting before you chickened out echoed my feelings about my tag, but you had no reason to feel that way because your tag is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! See, there was noreason to be nervous! Great tag.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a step-by-step on your spools. They fascinate me!
By the way, organized is NOT me. What you can't see in my photos is the mess I'm usually surrounded with. And I often forget to take photos along the way.
Congratulations on your win! Fabulous work....and you say this is your first time....you have nothing to be hesitant about...YOUR work is AWESOME! Glad you took the plunge!
