12 Tags of 2015 September Tag

It's Fall ... it's the last day of September ... it's 90 degrees here ... oh my goodness !

Well here I am sliding in AGAIN ! As you know if you've been following my post, my life has been turned upside down a bit. With my brother's illness (battle with cancer );  we've seen some new "normals " in the past couple of weeks.  Just a quick update ... he is doing better, we've been walking twice a day on some days. I'm getting good at the massages ( I massage his legs and feet to help with some of the discomfort. He's finally eating a little more.  He completed the aggressive radiation a week ( or two ago ) and started  a new Chemo treatment today. We are Thanking and Praising God for every day and continuing to make special memories as we travel this Journey. Thank you all for your prayers and concern.

I'm doing my best to stay active with my crafts, but the wind has been knocked out of my sails with these new normals and this extreme heat. I am however staying inspired... Have you been checking out the Halloween Inspiration on Tim's Blog ??? OMG ... AWESOME !!!  I've got lots of notes and product to get started ... that Halloween release is to die for :)  !!

  I am determined to stay on top with my tags... so here we go ...



Tim keeps blowing me away with these techniques... don't you just love the transparent gloss texture paste??  OMG ... just glides over the stencil ... I'm in love !! Gotta say that was my favorite part with this tag.

The alcohol inks were fun , once I got my mojo going... had to do some embracing of imperfection here ( I'm chalking it up to the stress of the last couple of days), I do love my colors. It's amazing to think that this




turns into this









Seriously found myself just gloating over the flourishes ... like magic ( in my mind I'm going ... WOW I DID THIS ! )  ... so very cool.




Okay and my least favorite part ... the wire ... Tim makes it look soooooooo easy ... NOT easy for me... seriously simple wrap of wire right?? Hahaha I should have done a video... I probably could have been on world's funniest videos. I do love the look.


And this close up ... YAY ... I  "worked" the spritzer well today ( I did get a new marker too ) !

It was so much fun I had to do another one for a friend.

Beautiful tag Tim; Thank you for another fun technique !
