Tim's Tag Techniques

Happy Friday Everyone - the weekend is almost upon us.

Today it is me, Brenda, who is your host for this challenge but first I have to say

the collage entries have been amazing over the last 2 weeks

We are going to have such a difficult job again choosing the winner and top 5.

For this next challenge, I am asking that you choose any of

T!m's Tags of Christmas -

(so that gives you 48 to decide from) ....

and use his techniques to create your own Christmas project.

You don't have to re-create T!m's tag, in fact you don't have to make a tag at all,

it could be a card, bag or altered item.

Please just tell us which tag you have chosen and the techniques you have used from it.

This really gives you the opportunity to be as creative as you want, but with a T!m seasonal theme.

Now Don''t forget we have a prize of a

£10 gift voucher

for the Stamp Man shop up for grabs.

All the challenge details and rules for entering can be found by clicking the associated tab at the top of the page.

Our super talented design team have been very busy making lots of inspiration for you. You can click on their names to see more info on their wonderful projects.
