THC--February Tag for 2015

Tim Holtz was on the ball and had the February Tag up on Feb. 1, but I have had a very hectic week and so I'm finally getting the swap posted.The tag looks like great fun as always although I don’t have all of the supplies he uses so will be experimenting and improvising quite a bit. Please remember that the tag he creates each month is only a starting point for our own interpretations of the tag he creates. However you must create a tag that your partner will recognize as Tim's tag for this month! You will find the instructions for the February 2015 tag here: This link is not working properly, but if you RIGHT CLICK on the little green icon and select OPEN IMAGE IN NEW TAB, it will take you directly to the February Tag site.

I do plan to make this a series that runs through all twelve months and am hoping more of our members will start making tags with us.. Remember that you are committing for only one tag at a time and need not make all twelve tags unless you choose to do so.

Swap Details: You will make your version of the February 2015 Tim Holtz Tag for ONE partner, using a standard #8 shipping tag (3-1/8” x 6-1/4”). Even though you may need to use slightly different supplies and techniques in creating your version of the tag Tim makes, your tag must be the correct size and must be close enough to his tag that your partner can recognize it as the February 2015 Tag Tim demonstrates on his web site.

Sign up for this swap by February 15 and mail you tag by February 28.. Since this is pretty much sender’s choice, you can get started right away, giving you lots of time to make a beautiful tag.

Please do your best work for these swaps; make them something you'd take pride in if you had a chance to show it to Tim Holtz himself. I have never seen Tim Holtz use a sticker ever, so that means we will not be using any stickers ever in these tag swaps.

If you have any questions, please PM me and I will try to answer them. The main thing is: HAVE FUN making the tag and SEND it on time to your partner. We had 6 of us making the January Tag, so let's try for at least 10 or more for this tag!

If you have any questions, PLEASE ask me by the Message Board. ALSO, please don't think you have to be a master of Tim Holtz style nor have the exact supplies he uses. I have never had everything for the monthly tags I've made over several years. He always says that his tag is the launching point for your own creativity, imagination, and curiosity!
