"12 Tags of 2014"...January

Hi folks...it's hard to believe that we're right back at the beginning of another "12 Tags" journey and I know that lots of you are just as excited as I am and looking forward to lots more inspiration from Mr TH and the chance to play along at "12 Tags of 2014".  If you've been following the sneaky peeks of all Tim's new products being launched at CHA...your wish list is probably looking like a year of grocery till receipts all joined together...your bank manager has probably already booked himself into therapy and your credit card...well it's probably quaking at the thought...
With the cubbyhole production line going at full tilt...there was no time for any thinking out of the box this month so I just grabbed the ingredients...followed the recipe adapting and overcoming as I went along...

and also decided to follow Tim on the crazy journey of attaching the teeny weeniest Remnant Rubs to an oval charm...now I don't have a matching punch so I painted the inside of the charm with Picket Fence Distress Paint...waited for it to dry and then set to work with a tooth pick...tweezers and lots of determination and patience and you know what...I think I may now be qualifed to perform the most intricate brain surgery...shame I didn't spot the wonky epoxy sticker before I put on my David Bailey hat...
and continuing with the Tim Holtz theme...today's task is nailing the die-cutting...
50 down and 200 still to go...so I'm taking a leaf out of Mario's book...according to the King Of Kitting...coffee and lots of it is guaranteed to get the job done. Enjoy what's left of the weekend folks...I may or may not be here tomorrow...it all depends on whether or not the judiciary deem me suitable to sit on a jury...if the bird's nest hair and my best dopey old crone look do the trick then I'll see you all tomorrow...if not I may have to call on my Furry Partner to hold the fort.
Hugs Kath xxx
