Happy Monday!  I can’t believe it, but all my chores are finally done.  The house is decorated for Christmas, the bills are paid, the doctor visits are almost over and now I need to get busy in the studio.  Not much time to do so much in.  You see I’m having hand surgery on the 18th and I know that I need to have some special projects done before then because . . . well, what if I can’t use my left hand for awhile?  Ya know what I mean?

I’m still working on T!m’s Smiley from millan.net 12  Tags of Christmas, when I should probably be doing other things, but I just can’t help myself.  I’m also very behind  . . .  I sure hope I get to do them all!  Today, I have Tag 4.  Here’s T!m’s Smiley from millan.net Tag 4 and my version below.

Tag4

I added some ribbon and a few Spellbinders™ to see if I could incorporate them on a tag.  Yes, I can!  Using the Ranger Gold Paint Dabber, I went around the edges of the tag and the oval sentiment.  While the border was still in the die, I stenciled with the gold paint.  Now that was just too cool . . . I may be doing that a little more in the future!  One other touch I almost forgot about . . . I spritzed all the paper with Worn Lipstick/Gold Pearlized Distress Mist.  I think it took some of the other colors out of the tag and if I had to do it over, I don’t know that I would.  But hey you never know until it’s done.
