Six Word Saturday 12/24/11

Ready for our Prime Rib Dinner!

It happens only once a year.  I would have it more often but I am not spending $70.00 for a roast!  I am a bit frugal when it comes to some things...  (crafts not included)  :)   This makes Christmas dinner even more special I think. 
We are going up to the snow in the morning for some tubing, which should be a blast!  Hopefully nothing gets hurt on this old body of mine so that I can cook dinner when I get home.  I am already planning on laying in bed not moving much on Monday, I have a feeling that my muscles are going to be a bit annoyed with me for bouncing down hills in the cold!

I hope your holiday is everything you want it to be and more.


Merry Christmas,

2012 word for the year is...

Change.  I need to work on changing many things in my life.  Some basic like attitude, from not exercising to actually working out etc.  Some a little more complex like, to change jobs, move, go back to school.  Major decisions need to be made for health reasons so I am anticipating a year of change and I know a few others are not going to like it.  They will have to embrace change in 2012 also!

Merry Christmas,

My Version of Tim's day 4 Christmas Tag

This was a fun technique to do.  These new stains are great. I tried to do this background with just the stamp pads and a spritz of water but it just didn't do what the stains do.  So I ran to the LSS and bought some more stain. I am really starting to like the glossy accents glue also used inside the number 25. 

Thanks for looking!

Celebrate the Season Christmas Tag

I was checking out the Tim Holtz blog about a month ago and he had a link to Tammy Tutterow's post with a really cool technique with De-bossing and Crackle paint.  I will be using this technique again for sure!

Sparkle Christmas Tag

I visited Impress Stamps last week and they have sample cards, tags etc. on their end-caps. I saw a card and KNEW I had to try it. I think this is my favorite tag so far!

Silent Night Christmas Tag

While surfing Pintrest I came across this printable Christmas paper which was the inspiration for this tag!

Let it Snow Christmas Tag

Glitter Frosty! He is so cute!

 

Celebrate Christmas Tag

I really like the look of this tag. Kind of a vintagey (is that even a word, it should be!) feel.

Deck the Halls Christmas Tag

I wanted to try out some of the new(used) stamps I bought a couple of months ago and this tag is what became of that play session.



 

Most Wonderful Time of the Year Christmas Tag

With the 12 Days of Christmas Tags coming up (I made this over Thanksgiving weekend)  I wanted to start playing with my tag punch so I grabbed some scrap paper and this is what I came up with.

Christmas Tag Day One

This my version of these two tags: Tim Holtz and Shelly Hickox

They both have excellent instructions on their sites so check them out and give it a try!  Leave me a comment and a link to your blog if you make one, I would love to see it!

Happy Crafting,
