Tim Holtz Day 1 and 2

I love when December starts. For the last two years I've tried to play along with Tim Holtz's Christmas tags.

Here's where I am so far. Day one and Day two of Tim Holtz's tags that I redid in my own way. I still don't have nearly enough Tim Holtz products it seems. I love his stuff. Click on links above to see his Day one and Day two if you haven't yet. They are bolded links.





















I am done with classes finally this year. They still have not posted grades which is annoying. I am pretty sure I got A's in both classes. I better have! *shakes fist* I think I am taking off next semester. I am probably just going to take my Saturday morning painting class. I really want to paint again. I need to take finished pictures of my octopus painting. Its lovely. Other than that I haven't gotten a clear idea of what I want my next piece to me. I kind of want something a bit more meaningful for the next piece. Something that speaks to me.

I've also been kicking around the idea of doing another year long project like Heart the arts. I just don't know. What I'd really like to do is start a card blog with either my own sketches or something different about it. I do plan also on redoing my blog as soon as possible. The new year will start with a new look.

My Etsy shop is temporarily closed. I am not carving anymore at the moment and the carving blocks have seemed to be discontinued. Well the size I prefer is. All my designs are made really for the 2 1/2 x 5 inch block size. I like them at that size. I might go a new way with my Etsy store. I might start making Youtube tutorials on stuff to make. I really would like to get back into what I love to do. I've missed it terribly. I've just felt so uninspired. What a really need is a good card blog other than jinglebelles. I love myself jinglebelles, but I feel like getting away from Christmas cards. What site do you all like? Give me some new ideas since I haven't been really looking.

Lastly everyone that is on Pinterest come find me. I love that site and would love to find more of you on there.

Thanks for looking!

Great tags Gina, I was going to participate this year but it hasn't happened yet:)
Good luck with your marks, I know you will get A's after all the work you put in.
I love seeing your jinglebelles cards. I would love to be organised with making my birthday cards, male and female.
