February's Tag for the 12 Tags of 2012

My Valentines this year were made to resemble Tim Holtz's first tag of the year.  You can see it here.  I love learning from his site and trying my best to duplicate his work.  Practice, practice, practice!  I have envied his work for awhile now. 

I used mostly Tim's products. I had the pink honeycomb paper in my stash as well as the ribbon and key.  I made several of these and the recipients loved them, at least they said they did!!!  Tags have become my lastest craze.    Here are a couple others that I made too.

This tag I made into a card and gave it away in a box of miscellaneous cards for a fundraiser locally.  It was a card that I really enjoyed making too.  The background took on a leather-look when I inked my embossing folder before I ran it through my Big Kick.  I love the way it turned out.  My bling hanging from the chain is one of Tim Holtz's and his way to "frost" it and emboss it.   Here's a close up of it.



And here is one final picture!  I know you're probably tired of looking at them, but I AM proud of them!  



This is a bundle of my tags that I made for Valentine's.  Now, to make some more for next year.  I want to make several and "build" a tag set for Christmas presents this year. 

Thanks for looking at my special Valentine's tags.  I hope that I may have inspired you to try something outside of your box or comfort zone!

Hugs,
