Tim Holtz May Tag

Tim Holtz's May 2013 tag has been posted!! http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2013-may/

"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."

"You need not copy his tag completely, but keep close enough to the methods and concepts that your partner will recognize it as the April 2013 Tim Tag. Challenge yourself to try a new technique or medium he uses so that we all expand our creative skills and imaginations and understanding of how various media can be used. This is pretty much sender's choice, but sometimes we may be able to use a partner's preferences for colors, special interests, amount of bling, grunge, steam punk, etc. in making our tags."

"OPTIONAL: 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! If you win, PLEASE let all of us know and give us the link to your tag!"

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

I give complete credit to @PeggyO who started hosting the tags of 2013 swaps!

As a side note for those that might be new to Tim's tags-- For these you use a size #8 tag which is 3 1/8" wide and 6 1/4" tall.
