Ok, so today’s the ninth and I just last night finished the project for the fourth. Gosh, the days go by quickly. Anyhow, I made a scrapbook page using some of the techniques Tim used in his day 4 tag. Here’s the…
Today’s workdesk finds me in the middle of day four of Tim Holtz’s 12 Tags of Christmas. I mentioned in another post I’ve found it incredibly freeing to have the mindset that I’m not trying to make copies of what Tim has done,…
