December tags 3 & 4

More tags inspired by Tim Holtz

I stamped the tag with several different word and/or letter stamps in different colors

then added a little pine cone decoration that I used to wear on my suit collar lapel

The brass button came from my grandfather's fire chief's uniform

I loved Tim's snowman but I don't have a die cutter so I free cut the snowman from felt and used some old Pink Paislee alphas for the 25 and for his arms - a ribbon scarf, some tulle, and a few buttons to add some "snowball" accents

I just finished tags for days 5, 6, and 7

BUT

you will have to come back tomorrow to see them

I am using Tim's basic layouts and some elements 

but

my tags are taking paths of their own

Thanks for stopping by,

Chris
