12 Tags of Christmas Day 12

Wooohooo, I'm done! A day late and a dollar short (okay, maybe I'm out a few dollars, LOL, but I didn't go out and buy anything.... just was hoarding it all in my stash!).  For this one, I had the December stamp and the grungeboard ornaments from an old seasonal pack.  So, I covered one ornament in some vintage text (from Little Women - a Christmas portion.... see the "Merry Christmas"... tee hee!) and put strips of red glitter on it.  The other ornament I completely glittered, then put in a medallion from My Mind's Eye - sort of reminds me of those old WWII ornaments with the indentations in the center.  A bit of tinsel, a few berry sprigs - this was fun and fairly stress free.  Of course, I didn't really do anything that Tim demonstrated, other than glittering the ornament and stamping the month.  Oh, and I used some crackle paint on the tops of the ornaments.  Ah well, I like it.

So.... are you done? Are you going to finish? Which tag did you enjoy most? The least?  I think I had the most fun with the first one (very time intensive, but back then we were just chomping at the bit, weren't we?).  I really liked how my Day 5 turned out because I didn't actually *expect* to like it, but I do, probably because I love that Santa image.  Ditto with Day 2.  I think my least favorite was Day 4 with the facets and the bling.... cool technique, but my overall tag left me a bit "blah."  And you know of my love/hate relationship with the Day 11 tree, LOL!

I'd love to hear about your overall impressions of the big Tim Tag Ride. Hope your holidays are going along happily. :)

  8. Your tag is wonderful! I like it way better than Tim's. Day 2 was my favorite and day 12 was my least favorite. The best thing this year has been seeing what everyone comes up with. A world full of creativity. I am busy making a holder to mount my tags today.

  9. Jean, I truly like your version better than Tim's here. Your ornaments are both terrific.
    (It was a gas doing Tim's Tags, but I am glad to be moving on to other things.)

  14. I think this is the best substitution I have seen yet! I LOVE the ornaments, especially the glitter! Out of all the tags, I really loved tag 9, well, Tim's tag, I'm not sure about how mine turned out, even though I copied it pretty much as is. lol.

  17. First, thanks for stopping by my blog!!! I really appreciate your comments. The card I made with the snowflakes is an interpretation of Tim's day 6 tag. I stamped directly on the empty space of the embossing folder. I saw that you used the snowman folder for that tag, and that would have been a great one to use for stamping directly on the folder. Speaking of your tags, they are gorgeous!!! I couldn't even pick a favorite!! You did a great job with each of them!!!

  19. Another beautiful tag... does your mind ever sleep??? Especially loved how you used the text on one of the ornaments. You are such a clever girl.
    Every single one of your tags inspired me- and I'm hoping to play over the holiday break and make a set for myself!

  20. Beautiful tags. I liked Day 5, the Santa one too. I can't really pick a favourite. I also enjoyed doing 6, 7, 9 and 10 a lot.
