Hello Everyone
Just a quickie from me this time, to share my Tim Tag for December. You can see Tim's original HERE.
I have to say a huge thank you to Tim and Mario for choosing me as a winner for November! I have been doing these tags for a good few years now and I am always so excited when I win, it's like winning the lottery....
My December tag pretty much follows Tim except I used the 'Holiday Knit' stencil for my background.
I do not have the punches that Tim used so I improvised and used the thinlit dies to create my wreath. I did have the cute little jingle bells though - I love them!
I had to improvise with the sewing too, my little sewing machine would not go through the sticky backing on the burlap, so I did a bit of hand stitching.
Thanks for looking, I hope to see you again soon.
My Christmas starts today with family coming to visit, so I apologise if I have not or do not get to visit you over the next few days. If I do not get the chance again, I hope you and your families have a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all the very best for 2016.
Hugs, Anne xx
Another winning tag Anne (imo, you should win every month). Congratulations for the win last month :D
ReplyDeleteWishing you fun with your visitors and a very merry Christmas and the happiest of new years. {{Hugs}} xx

DeleteCongratulations on your November win, Anne! This month's tag is wonderful - I love how you used the greenery dies in place of the punches to make your wreath! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and thanks for your support this year - so glad to have met you through blogland! xxx Lynn

Congratulations on being a winner at Tim's Tags for November. They recognized your skills, so good for them! Inspired use of the knit stencil over the burlap, as it truly looks 'knitted'. That must have been a bit fiddly stenciling on burlap, but oh what a look it created. I LOVE your wreath with these tiny gold bells, and it looks lush & full with all those branches. Little golden star was the perfect embellie. TFS & Big Merry Christmas. Thank you for the beautiful card, which has been shared on the Friends Card section of my blog so others can enjoy it, as well as visitors to our home. Big Hugs.
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag Anne, I love that you used the knit stencil!! I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for all of your inspiration this year and for all your support and encouragement as well!! Sending you big hugs and wishes for a very Merry Christmas my friend!! :)

It is always a thrill to me that I know someone so famous -- to win once would be thrilling but I know you have won twice. I think of all the techniques I have seen on tags - I like this one the best.
ReplyDeleteYou are a winner in my book pretty lady. I know you have Christmas company right now. I will be back after Christmas Anne!!
Merry Christmas!

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!! This is one of my very favorite cards of the season. Girl, all that hard work on this beautiful card was sooooo worth it; this is stunning!! Seriously. Dang! Brings such a nostalgic feel to the season. And Christmas cards done....hahahahaha! Not me! I only make a few and DH sends them out. Hope I'll have enough when he's ready to do them! And can I just say that I went from PC to an iMac and love it. Simple, follows my directions, and the screen is amazing. RIP Henry....
