Marianne's Tags 2009 COMPLETED and a few more!
Re: Marianne's Tags 2009 to Day Five
I've finished Tags 6 thru 8.
Tag 6-I cut the car out of Journeys paper. It was already embossed paper but I gave the light areas of the car an inking and chalking. It doesn't have the cute factor of tim's car but I'm fairly happy with it. I love that stamp he holds up in his photo on his blog so I stamped that. For the snow, I used some more of the stuff we made last year for the tags out of UTEE and glossy accents. Tag 7
I used my one and only Santa stamp. Greeting from Musical Interlude and stamped 'believe' on a little tag. I also went over my flourishes (from Firecracker Designs by Pamela) with white pen as they were very faint after all the other inking. Tag 8
Other than the CS Christmas Collage stamp with music on it, the only other thing I have is a rollagraph wheel with music notes on it. I embossed that with black powder on the vellum and inked it. Flourish stamps are a foam set from Making Memories. Quote from Musical Interlude and cello from my dollhouse supplies. I made the holly leaves from crumpled diecut leaves and put reddish stickles on the buttons after alcohol inking them to a darker red. Thanks for having a look!

Thanks, Rachelle!
I don't know why I have 3 or 4 sheets of that paper, I didn't get that kit. I was surprised no one else has used it.

WOW!! Marianne the violin is gorgeous! What a wonderful interpretation of that tag!
Re: Marianne's Tags 2009 Thru Day Eight
This is me standing and applauding! Love, love, love the music with the violin! I also really like the journey car, but the violin is just stunning!

Love your tags. The car looks like Tim planned to use it but was out of the paper, so *he* substituted!
Re: Marianne's Tags 2009 Thru Day Eight
Wow! Great tags! I totally love the violin with the sheet music. I think I have a Jolee's violin embellie around here somewhere, and I think I'll have to dig it out for this!

Re: Marianne's Tags 2009 Thru Day Eight
Here are Tags 9 and 10.
Tag 9
I spent ages picking out the photos on a Scared of Santa collection online. What a lot of fun DD and I had looking at the pics! Neither one of us ever liked sitting on Santa's lap so we could relate but we have no evidence to prove it!
I downloaded the film strip from http://flyingsamphoto.com/hires-image-filmstrip.shtml
and the photos were here. I think this is where Tim got his.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/ ... otogallery
I put the film strip and photos together in Photoshop and printed it out as one piece on a 4 x 6" piece of photo paper. I also put the focal picture on the same piece of paper. Tag 10
I found a piece of fairly stiff but thin metal and used that. After I did the embossing I took it off the foundation tag and put it on another tag. I want to try some other metals and didn't want to waste letters on three tags. I just used alcohol inks and a Q tip, black Stazon and a few embellies. As much as I like dry embossing, I'm not thrilled with it. I think because my letters were too big to fit on more words.

Re: Marianne's Tags 2009 Thru Day Eight
Oh Marianne, both tags came out super! I love, love, love the little light bulbs dangling off the bottom of the faux glass ornament inspired tag!!
Re: Marianne's Tags 2009 Thru Day Eight
Both are great - my favorite is the Santa tag - great use of pictures, and your color palette turned out perfectly!
Thanks for sharing,

Beautiful work, Marianne. Love the color palette on your photo tag more than Tim's and think I will CASE it. Thanks.
