Tim's tags 2010

[Monica]

So, it's day one of Tim's tags... what do you think? I won't be able to create until I get home, so I'm pondering ideas at this point. I don't have the house die, nor do I think my Cuttlebug would handle cutting through a sandwich of grungepaper and grungeboard, but I do believe I have a couple Cricut cartridges with houses that I can use. I look forward to seeing everyone's interpretations. Have fun creating!

I love the tag that he posted, and it looks like a lot of detail went into it---I just don't have the time right now---maybe next week

Maybe next year I'll take the first 12 days of December as vacation days so I can stay home and play.

I'm going to look through my stash of old Christmas cards. I'll bet that I have one with a pretty house on it that I can cut out. I love how he shows different versions. At my age, I feel like I should have learned to think outside the box by now - but nope. He surprised me with the different versions (and I love the beach themed one!).

I have an appointment this morning but then when I get home, I can't wait to start. Tim inspires me so....

I'd like to say I'm going to do them... but probably won't get around to it! The first day there are sooooooo many supplies/things I don't have, but Pam had a good suggestion!

I still haven't figured out how to make the fence. I have none of those dies, so I'm simply going to dig through my Cricut cartridges for suitable alternatives. I think that a great clip art house would work as well, or if you're good at freehand then making your own. The best part of the tags for me last year was seeing all the different interpretations posted here.

how about cutting strips of grunge and adhereing together to create your own fence???

good grief--it took me 3 tries to finish reading all the steps on his blog. It would probably take me the whole month just to do this one tag. It's cute though

I just finished mine. It didn't really take too long. I don't have any dies, but I have alot of grungeboard images and plain, so I took the Halloween house and traced around it on some already embossed woodlike grunge; I handcut my picket fence out of grunge as well. My tree is made from 6 of the CS Friendship kit twisties.

holy moley Rachelle.....and what a neat tag!

Good idea! Thanks!

Rachelle, that's a beautiful tag! And I may have just solved my tree question since I believe I still have some of those twist-ties lying around. Thanks!

Love it Rachelle. Neat substitutions!!

[gwendols]

Great tag!! I too have been thinking about the best way to try this. Love all the great ideas.

[ScrappinJen]

Great improvisation, Rachelle. Good job!

Great tag Rachelle. I think that was part of the fun last year was watching everyone doing their own improvisation. In my mind, it's more about learning the technique and trying to think outside of the box. You rock Rachelle.
