Tim Holtz Twelve Tags of 2015: May Tag

Tim Holtz's comments about this month's tag: "there are certain things that capture a sense of nostalgia, and for me this month’s tag is certainly one of them. several elements make this one of my personal favorites so far this year. the combination of textures, tinted photo, tiny paper flowers, layered ephemera and embellishments really tell a creative story. it’s one of those projects that at first glance one might see as complicated or too detailed when in fact it’s quite easy to do. after all, seeing the process step by step is what these monthly tag tutorials are all about – simplifying the complicated. i hope you enjoy creating your tag as much as i did…t!m"

As usual, you will make your version of Tim's tag for ONE partner. Be certain to make the tag enough like his as possible or use it as a jump start for your own creativity for the May tag. Your tag MUST have enough similarity to Tim's so that your partner can easily tell it is a version of the official May tag. You will find the instructions for the MAYl 2015 tag here: CLICK HERE FOR 12 Tags of 2015--June .

SO, 1) 1 tag, sent to 1 partner. 2) SIGN UP by June 13.. 3) MAIL by June 30. 4) INCLUDE your Swap-Bot name, the date, and name of swap on back of the tag. 5) BE SURE to package your tag securely for its tough journey through the postal services. Use packaging tape, etc. to do this. . Do your BEST work with the supplies you have to come close to his tag. DO NOT feel you MUST BUY supplies exactly as he lists them. I do not want that to keep people from joining these monthly tag swaps. Substitute, jury-rig , and use creativity to make good use of what supplies you DO have to come close by giving it your best efforts. Tim Holtz does not not use stickers, so we will not use stickers on our tags. He does use some rub-ons and a limited amount of, and very few, alpha stickers and things such as tags, tickets, etc. In all other ways, stickers are not allowed for these tags.

PLEASE DO PM me with any questions about this swap or ideas for other swaps that are not tags.
