It's day three of Tim Holtz's annual (and much-loved) Twelve Tags of Christmas, and it's also Friday, meaning two really awesome things happened today. ;-)
Tim created another gorgeous tag and posted the detailed step-by-step on his blog, including a couple of super-helpful video tutorials. I swear, the guy is some kind of steely-eyed crafting superhero. How he comes up with so many original and inventive ideas, I'll never know! But, what's cool is, he gives away his secrets freely so we can all play along.
If this is your first year doing the tags (or if you're an interested observer), please let me assure you that EVERYONE is welcome to play along, no matter what your experience level, and you're not only allowed, you're encouraged to use whatever products you have on hand instead of trying to run out and purchase every little ingredient. This is about fun, community, learning some incredible techniques, and taking some time for pure, creative bliss during a very amped-up time of year.
A quick apology to my blog friends for my incredibly slow making-of-the-rounds these past couple of weeks! I know I'm not the only one who's feeling pulled in a million different directions, but I do want to let you know I'm thinking about you and will be paying you a visit soon. ♥
Right now, though, I need to start counting these pesky sheep that keep flashing before my eyes!
Hugs,
Linda
