I worked on my day 2 Tim Holtz tag this afternoon, and like I wrote in my earlier post...I still can't find my box of Tim stuff. I have been moving stuff around in my craft room and now I can't find anything. So, once again, my tag hardly looks like the tag Tim created on his blog, but he mentioned to use what we have, and that is what I had to do.
I don't have any distress wash sprays so I put some Adirondack pigment reinker light..snow cap onto a piece of paper towel and swiped that across my cardstock, and then quickly wiped it away so only a light white wash stayed. I then spritzed a glitterey spray on the tag. I don't own a border die, and so I cut a piece of manila tag for the bottom and with a gold pen colored the piece that I glued to the bottom. I rubber stamped in red Season's Greetings. I don't own the reindeer die, and so for my tag I used a bird on holly that was cut from a 12 x 12 sheet of Christmas scrap paper. I DID have and knew where my burlap was, amazing, huh? But, the burlap kept shredding. Not good.
I recently bought the metal Tim Holtz Christmas embellishments with a 50% coupon at Michael's and I used that instead of the holiday piece that Tim did. When I find my stuff I will go back and work on my tag a bit, but for now...this is my Day 2 tag.
I hope that Tim uses things that I have for tomorrow's (day 3) tag.

Oh, have you tried Aleene's Turbo Tacky Glue? I am not impressed. I think it's runny, and takes forever to dry. I bought a container, because it stated that it was stronger and faster drying..I don't think so. :-(

Your tags are lovely. It's good to make them your own, but sometimes it's harder to find things to substitute with. Hope you find your Tim box soon.
This is a beautiful tag. I love that you're using what's on hand. I'm planning on working on some tags today.
Great Tag. Love the bird. Thanks for the heads up on the glue.
Elaine, this is a beautiful tag...you go girl! Diann
