Happy Thursday!  I hope you’ve had a great week so far.  I finally snuck into the studio this morning BECAUSE I’ve been watching what T!m is doing everyday and I’m falling behind.  He’s up to Tag 3 and I just finished Tag 1.  Since T!m started doing the 12 Tags of Christmas, I’ve never played along.  I made up my mind a few weeks ago to also do the tags, but put my own personal spin on them.

Here is T!m’s Tag 1 and below is mine!

I followed along with T!m’s tutorial, but added my own personal touches.  Way too much fun!  I didn’t want a black snowman, so I made him purple by stamping in Eggplant.  But first, I painted a section of the Grunge Board white, so that I could stamp over it and not do a resist.
