Lisa’s Look at Tim’s Tag for July 2015
In keeping with the red, white and blue them I created my tag for July. I went a different direction with the tag for more of a challenge. I started with a layer of tissue paper. Next, I used stencils and texture paste to create stars and stripes on the tag. I dried...
Lisa’s Look at Tim’s Tag for June 2015
This month I chose to turn my tag into an anniversary card for my husband. We celebrated our 26th anniversary on the 17th. So Happy Anniversary Honey! I used the birds because I think they are so cute and fun to color. I started with a DIY ink pad with Picked...
Lisa’s Look at Tim’s Tag for May 2015
Here is my look at Tim's May tag. I had to look at it for a long time before I could design my own tag. I used cork for my background. I am not quite fond of found relatives, I wanted my tag to have meaning. So I started with a picture of a wonderful lady who I is...
A New Experience…

Lisa’s Look at Tim’s Tag for April 2015
Here they are....my tags for April. I used stamps I had available to create my tags. I love the cascade of flowers (a Dylusions stamp). I didn't have Tim's word dies, so I used my eClips2 to cut my words. Love how...
Watercolor Easter Eggs
After creating my version of Tim's 12 Tags of 2015, I thought the technique would look great on some paper mache eggs. The paper mache eggs were too dark to use the Distress Markers on. Then I remembered that Wendi Vecchi used newsprint and Ranger's Glue n' seal on...
Happy Easter Everyone
I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. I spent the day coloring eggs. I combined techniques from Wendi Vecchi and Tim Holtz to create these watercolor eggs. I will be posting a tutorial tomorrow.
Lisa’s Look at Tim’s Tag for March 2015
Although I finished my tag in early March, I am just now posting it here on my new blog. Before I started on my actual tag, I tried embossing with the archival ink and the embossing powder. To tell the you the truth I wasn't sure it would work and wanted to test it...
