at Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge Blog is *Anything Lord Tim of Holtz Style*.
When I first saw this challenge, I thought of the 3 T's:
Tim
+
tags
+
techniques
I'll be heading for New England and Canada on Tim's Cruise soon and always travel with a journal of some kind. I rarely remember everything I did on a trip and like to record (even if it's just bullet points) things that happened or things I did on a vacation. So every trip I take along some kind of a little journal that I can pop in my carry-on.
Deciding to combine the two (journal + challenge) I came up with this:
I'll show you ALL the tags - backs and fronts.
There's lots.
Grab a cup-a-joe first!
Each tag is decorated on both sides
with
stampings
or
Tim designed papers
or
metals & embellishments.
The tab on this mini-envelope was made with the back cover
of Tim's paper pad.
Here's one more thing I'll share with you.
Perhaps you've seen this before on my blog.
It's a canvas with one tag for each month of the year.
Each tag incorporates a different technique.
Create your own masterpiece
(a single tag, card front, scrapbook page, altered object)
and join the challenge at

Wow, did I really just say awesome twice in one post?? Sheesh....

How cool that you are going on that cruise. I tried but it was too late, and there was a list of people wanting to go so I knew I did not stand a chance. I will be anxious to hear about it when you are back. I have signed up for the Alaska cruise with him next May which should be lots of fun.
I love your tag book--it is awesome! You are very creative!

Ah, of course you'd have to make a journal for your cruise. I mean my cruise. Well, your cruise too! I tried my hand at it and it certainly doesn't look like yours. I just don't know how you do it. Love it.
