12 Tags of 2012 - December

I am now only 2 tags behind as I missed November - I can't believe I am falling at the last hurdle.  I am going to try to catch up in between the decorating and the shopping - might help me hold on to my sanity in this the silly season!!!  So here is my December tag for Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2012.....

Snowman Snowing Tag!
I decided to make a video whilst I was making this.  I quite like making these 'fast forward' how to videos as they are quite fun for me to watch back - You see only I know how many times I stopped the video to go to look for something and how many times I had to cut my head out of shot as I leant forward to concentrate!!!  .....and then when I think my video looks super organised and clutter free I have a chuckle to myself as I know the chaos that builds up around me as I work!  Take a look at the video and you will see what I mean ;-)

As usual I do not have all the lovely goodies that Tim uses but that is what makes each and every one of our tags unique and I have loved that about this challenge......oh and of course the encouragement to shop for the odd must have new addition to my stash - Thank you Tim ;-)

So without further ado a quick how I did it video......


Hope you are more organised than me and are enjoying all the festive preparations.  I am decorating my trees tonight - Baubles by OCD tree decorator - poor Callum - he has learned to humour me now ;-)

  5. Oh, this SO strikes a cord with me! I love your take on Tim's tag. It has been great all year to see how people adapt them to fit in with the things they have. I also share your pain with fitting everything in at this time of year. Like you the OCD tendencies go into overdrive with the tree so it's sitting there taunting me at the moment!!! What are we like. Hope you still get time to keep crafting. Thanks for dropping by, hugs Jenny x

    1. Let me know how you get on Sheree. I am sure that your shaker tags will be fab - don't forget to use glass glitter so it doesn't stick to the acetate or you will have a blizzard on your hands ;-) Thank you for joining me on my blog. Merry Christmas x

  7. I Helen, love your tag and especially how you made it longer. I have at last scrapped your Olympic photos and they will be on my WOYWW desk tomorrow (from midnight).
    Thanks again BJ

    1. Thanks Winnie I am just about to try to catch up with my final 2 tags November and the extra one which I think I will make for the New Year - I am hoping there is more fun to come from Tim in the New year as this has been a great project for learning new techniques and revisiting old ones. Happy New Year to you x

  9. I left a comment on your You Tube video channel, but I also wanted to tell you here how much I love this tag. The shaker card is a brilliant idea. What fun!
