CATCHING UP! - Part 2 - #31daysofhalloween

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I'm quickly learning some things need to change as I get older. I spent Sunday hanging laundry. I have a slight incline from my porch to the clothes line.  I'm always cautious of my bad knee but yesterday morning I woke up with what felt like shin splints on my left leg. I took meds and crawled back into bed by 10:30. The rest of the day went quickly with little accomplished.

It's Tuesday morning about 5:30 a.m.  I've been awake since 2:30. Let's hope I can at least get through my mid-day meeting.

Today, we have Days 17-21. Remember, you will find all the details for each tag in its own video on my YouTube Channel . There is a #31DaysofHalloween Playlist on the channel.  Just seems like weekly posts here work best.

Day 17 - Fabric Friday

Day 18 - SACs Saturday

Day 19 - Spooky Sunday

Day 20 - Mixed Media Monday

Day 21 - Tim Holtz Tuesday

I'll see you tomorrow for another edition of WOYWW. 

Creative Blessings!

#CHRISTMASINJULY - #TAGTUESDAY ` #TIMHOLTZ

Good morning, crafty friends!

I'm still waiting on today's video to upload. In the mean time, here's the tag:

I thought I'd be brave and try the tuck tag. We were give a pre-cut tag but also the die to make more - exclusive to the kit! I have his first pocket die but this one allows you to put tucks anywhere on a larger surface. You can either just cut out the slots, or you can use the coordinating frame die to make square ones to place as a layer on your page. Cool, huh? (You can see that die in the video HERE).    

I almost did another collage tag. Like Heidi said, they are addictive and you just want to keep making them. These tags have the similar effect. I look forward to trying one for Halloween in my 31 Days of Halloween series. 

I'll come back and drop the VIDEO LINK in as soon as the upload finishes so if it's not here when you're reading this post, come back later this afternoon. Hopefully, YouTube will have cooperated by then. It's 9:44 cst. I've had the upload in progress for almost 4 hours! This is one of the reasons my videos are short. 

Creative Blessings!

#CHRISTMASINJULYA - #TagTuesday with Tim Holtz

 Good afternoon, crafty friends!

Coming in a tad late. I got the video recorded and uploaded this morning then dove in to getting some baking done before the temperatures rose and my AC would have to work overtime. I am so ready for fall!

No picture today but I do have the video for making the Tim Holtz collage tag from his LIVE class with Simon Says Stamp. I hope you enjoy. 

Please leave me a comment. There are those who love to collage and others who are baffled by the process. Which camp do you fall in to?

Creative Blessings!

#CHRISTMASINJULY - A Pocket & A Tag - Tim Holtz

 Hi crafty friends!

I had things to take care of yesterday before we had to run errands. I didn't get 15 minutes to do this post so here we are today.

Ahead of Tim Holtz' & Simon Says Stamps #ChristmasInJuly class on Friday (July 11) I thought I'd showcase some of his Christmas products this week.  

Here's the pocket I made yesterday, using the File Cards:

For the 'tag' on the inside of the pocket:

Other than WOYWW tomorrow, I'm off until next week as I'll be in a writer's conference Thursday - Saturday then Sunday time with Bob before we start a new week.

Creative Blessing!
