I promised myself time and time again last year I wouldn't be one of the last to play along with the Tim Holtz 12 Tags challenge and so I decided to resolve to do better in 2015…….and here in February is my January tag!!!! ;-) Oh well back to the drawing board…..
This year I decided to make something a little extra as I play along…..I am not sure what to call it yet but I am thinking 'Sampler'. The idea is that at the end of the year I will mount and frame all 12 of my 3" squares and turn them into a home decor piece to remind me at a glance of all the fun I had during the year.
Here is a close up of the Sampler for January:
Now there is a story to tell you about this one. As you can see I decided to include little resolutions as the word strips on my tag. I showed hubby a couple of days later what I had been creating and he said, "Well then?" in an expectant tone……….I replied, "Well then what?"……."Haven't you got something to tell me"………."N"…….(penny drops!)…….."Ivan, I reaaaaally Lurve Yoooooo!
I think there is room to add the word strip 'When I remember" ;-)
Here is a close up of the tag:
I am doing ok with the 'Eat less Chocolate'……so far anyway. As usual I have a video taking you on my creative journey from Tim's Inspiration to my Interpretation. Check out all the fun I had making the background. I think I am calling it the throw everything at it technique!
February's tag is made so just the editing to do! Might actually be early…..ish at this rate ;-)
Thank you for popping by X
I laughed out loud at your post, Helen!! Lol! Love the resolutions, esp. the ones on the 3" piece. I'm in 100% agreement there lol! What a great idea to make an extra little piece along with the tag, and then mounting them all together. The finished project will be awesome, I know. You are so talented!
