Tim Holtz's January 2013 tag ready to view. I am hoping he keeps them going this year so we can end the year with all 12 months. Since we don't know exactly when each tag will be posted, my plan is to start a swap as soon as I know the new month is posted and give us all about 3-4 weeks to easily complete a really well done tag. Remember that by the end of the year, you'll want 12 tags that you love and want to display in some way. SO, make a tag that you'd really like and that meets Tim's vintage, shabby chic, grunge, steam punk style.

Remember that the tag he creates is just a starting point to get your own creative juices awakened! Also,you don't have to use only his products on your tag--I find numerous substitutes from flea markets, E-Bay, and re-sale shops that are much less expensive and more genuinely vintage and shabby. In December my daughter told me that Tim gets most of his inspirations and original ephemera from E-Bay which I didn't know!

This is the LINK to the January tag. You need not copy his tag completely, but keep close enough to the methods and concepts that your partner will recognize it as the January 2013 Tim Tag. Challenge your self to try a new technique that he uses so that we expand our creative skills. Please PM me if you have any questions or problems. This is pretty much sender's choice, but sometimes we may be able to use a partner's preferences for color and bling, etc. in making our tags.

Remember to post a photo of your tag on Tim's blog before the end of the month to be entered to win prizes and just to let people all over see your great work!

Let's have fun doing these and "knock the socks off" your partners when they receive their tags!

Please share your completed ATC's on our Tim Holtz Addicts flickr group.

I've made this an international swap so I can play! Yes... it's all about me! LOL ;)

Did you know that the quote on this month's tag is by Jean Luc Picard from the 1994 Star Trek Movie "Generations"?

Aha! I knew it sounded familiar. ;)

Remember to post a photo of your tag on Tim's blog before the end of the month to be entered for cash and prizes. Well maybe not cash, unless you sell the prizes.

Ah--thanks @crescendo -I left that out! I'll see if I can edit and add to instructions since some may not come across these comments if they are new to SB--it took me a bit to figure out all the aspects when I began!
