Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas Day 5- Mo's digital pencil style

Well, i am working my way through making these tags...and i am not doing them daily like Tim shared in his blog...and the fans that got them done within hours...WOW.  8 days later i've finished day 5.  I added one of my favorite digital images to my tag.  You can find this image here, it is from Mo's Digital Pencil.

What i did:
I  tried to use Tim's technique, but it bombed.  So i made it a different way.  What i did do was cut out an acrylic tag and a white background tag.  I did use liquid ink dye to color my acrylic tag.  What didn't work was i then was suppose to stamp the tag after it dried...and then rub off the black ink.  Well, it rubbed off but i couldn't really see the white lettering.  The ink was suppose to rub away and leave the image of the stamp (clear)...it was so faint. So i just stamped the white background tag and it shows through the acrylic tag.  I used my Sweethearts cartridge to get the wreath similar to Tim's diecut.  I used liquid pearls on the wreath and a bow.  I adhered the acrylic tag to the white tag with Glossy Accents, but it didn't work, so i used double sided tape on the bottom with the tulle at the top.  I colored and cut out the image and attached it with foam dots.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas Day 3- Greeting Farm Style Card

This tag took a lot more thought to making, seeing as i didn't have the stamp to make this tag...and again i am just using my cricut.  I used 5 different fonts and glued the letters onto the tag.  I've made a Youtube video showing how i made this tag and which fonts i used and the measurements. (Youtube video should be up on 12/14/11)
I used the new Anya Holiday stamp for the tag, but i wadded her up to make her look distressed to go w/the tag.

I've taken two pictures one the TGF challenge using no embellishments...just paper
For the TGF challenge:

And another picture of what it looks like w/a tie and bells at the top...i think i like the embellishment at the top better...

Challenges:
TGF -Monday Funday- No embellishments

Challenges:

Happy Birthday to You Easel Birthday cake card

I saw this template some time ago and so wanted to make it, however, i wanted to make it using my cricut/gypsy, sooo.  I spent some time figuring it out and ended up with a hexagon box instead of a circle.  This is for my friend's granddaughter who is adorable and LOVES to craft.  She is turning 8 this week and i wanted her to have it.  I had to make some adjustments from the original online because of the height of the birthday cake.  I think it turned out ok.  I've used this adorable Bugaboo image and colored the little girl's hair the color of the "birthday girl".  Now, i am hoping that if i send it out on Monday she will still get it in time for her birthday. :)
