Wishing anyone who visits an "All is Calm, All is Bright" holiday tomorrow.

Every year I decorate this stone birdhouse I made and it really puts me in the mood to celebrate the holidays. There is a peacefullness as I add the animals and trees around. I perhaps I wish I lived in such a place.

I hope you are all with people you love and enjoying the wonders of the season.

Here are all 12 Tags of Christmas I made from Tim Holtz's website. Very time consuming but worth the effort. Loved making them all. Someone said you can copy off the tags and directions, which you can, however I did just tag number 1 and it was 30 pages. I know some of them are more than that, so unless you want a book (a fat book) I wouldn't recommend it. Perhaps just a certain technique might be the option. Anyway, hope you like and have been enjoying your own holiday preparations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day # 10 and done early. Have time for shopping. This tag didn't take that long to do, but the colors are much more vibrant than they appear here. There is green in the wish section but it doesn't seem to show. Very fun to make. I didn't have the metal adhesive to use in the background so I used Plumber's tape which is about the same. So there is a seam in the middle, but he used his stapler to make stitches so I did too and looks like it was meant to happen.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day #9 of Tim Holt's 12 Christmas Tags. Mine is quite different yet looks a lot like it. I did not have the film that he used so I improvised by finding some old negatives that were very dark brown. I put them in bleach and voila, they turned clear. So then I used his distress ink to make them tinted a little vintage and went from there. I didn't know you could bleach them out, but that was exciting, as it opens up more possibilities. Hope you can all use that should you want to.
