Paula and Rachelle, thanks for the info on the grunge. I wonder if it had a use out in the Big Wide World before Tim got hold of it?

Tim's tags 2010
Re: Tim's tags 2010
Here are:
Tag 7-Poinsettia.
I used the same canvas paper that Kathryn did-she gave it to me! I liked working with it, it inked well and distressed nicely.
For my background I used a Cuttlebug folder. I think Cheryl used it, too. I cut the tag in 2/3 so I could put it in sideways and get the textured lines going the length of the tag. It made a suitable woodgrain since so much is covered anyway.
Here is an interesting link for info about poinsettias, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphorbia_pulcherrima
Kathryn, the center is one of the "serious" bling I told you about. I got a card of them on sale at Michaels this week.
Tag 8-to all a good night
I traced a sleigh and reindeer off the laptop monitor. It was an outdoor lighting display you could buy for about $1000. I made a mask out of plastic transparency, cut out the houses, etc. I used an old watch face but was disappointed that the glossy accents filled in the date and you can't see it says "25" now.
Tag 9-peace on earth
I think this tag wins the prize for the most shimmer I have ever done on anything. It was hard to photograph. I finally mixed up a good red with gold Pearl Ex and also a plain gold one. Rosette is a new wrapping paper we just bought at Marshall. Lots stash scraps here including some paper beads wrapped in wire and dipped in UTEE.

Wonderful Marianne. I love number 9 the best! I think everyone's take on that has been stunning.

Re: Tim's tags 2010
Here is Tag 10
The snow woman is cut from chipboard, stamped and embossed with snowflakes. Cuttlebug folder for the plastic with the winter definitions on it. I don't have the flakes one. Icicles are dress trim. I'm underwhelmed by this one but don't know what else to do with it. I've speckled white paint all over it as a start.

Thanks, Cheryl. Yes, I agree, it has been one where we can make it really fancy if we want.troublesmom wrote:Wonderful Marianne. I love number 9 the best! I think everyone's take on that has been stunning.
Re: Tim's tags 2010
Marianne, your tags are rockin! I love the red flower. What a great touch! The snowman looks absolutely great, maybe add something red on the lower corners? Something to pull your eye down......................

Re: Tim's tags 2010
Still working on 10 & 11 here but it will probably be Monday before I can get them finished and I hope to add 12 on Monday also.
Marianne I like your idea of a snowlady. Her hat is awesome.

Wowza Marianne! 
Re: Tim's tags 2010
Just finished up number 11. Can't believe there's only one more (sniff, sniff 
)
I started off drawing my own tree on grungeboard, then realized I'd done a mirror image of what I wanted; saw that my dictionary page had a cute picture on that side so it was going to work and then I went and stamped my border on the wrong side. Doh!!! I like how it turned out anyway, but I think I'm tired.

Re: Tim's tags 2010
Here are my 2 mistakes for day 2...
The first one was going fine until I stamped the flourish too dark... grrr
The second one was going ok until I just did not like it lol.. Anyway today I found a wooden cut bird, painted it silver and stuck it on.. I am not doing a third of the same tag. The end. Oh photos were taken in the xmas tree...

Re: Tim's tags 2010
Ok how are you all doing the Poinsetta? Is there a die or are you cutting it by hand or should I be watching some video?

Re: Tim's tags 2010
Sharon your tags look very good. As far as the poinsettia the die he used is Tattered Florals, but you could cut your own.

Re: Tim's tags 2010
I tackled the last tag this morning, in between getting the Sunday lunch!
The Christmas baubles are stickers, clear and gold, that I stuck onto red paper and then cut round. I used my favourite stamp from CS Evergreen for the background and fir-tree branch. The "December" is a piece of a wallet-size calendar that came as a freebie a couple of weeks ago. It is matted onto gold card. The top left corner looked a bit empty so I put in 2010.
