It's Day 4 of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas, and holy cow, this just keeps getting even MORE fun, somehow! Today, we played with Facets, which is such a cool product, and Tim demonstrated how to do a little magic with ink! I think all of us playing along will agree: This is a BLAST!
Tim, you're a brilliant, brilliant man. And Mario, if I were a genius crafter, I'd want someone just like you to be my Business Manager. Your nightly behind-the-scenes Tweets make this whole crafting festival even more awesome!
This was so much fun, I couldn't stop...
I followed Tim's instructions for the "Sparkly Snowman" Facet, and just hot glued the finished piece to the Fluerettes disk with a scrap of silver-blue netting in between. I hung a few Baubles from the pin back, and voila! A Holtzian Hair Accessory!
It's been a really great day, not only because it's Saturday and we're in the middle of 12 Tag Wonderland, but also because I had a truly wonderful surprise happen today. Mr. Fed Ex showed up with a box of joy for me— one of those brilliant Tim Holtz Hoodies I've been wishing for! Apparently, I have a Secret Santa! To the dear, generous person who sent this: Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am overwhelmed and overjoyed, and you are incredibly kind. I hope I can do something to make someone else as happy as you've made me.
Happy Holidays, Everyone!
Hugs,
Linda

beautiful tag and what a great idea for another use of the faucets..TFS. Oh, and what a wonderful Secret Santa!
The 12 tags is causing my google reader to seriously overload, and I'm a little behind! So, I've looked at all your tags thus far, and they're all spectacular! And how nice of someone to send you the hoodie, that is fantastic!
Beautiful tag and I just love the hair clip. It looks so great. I am thinking of making a charm bracelet. I love anything that jingles. What a great present and wonderful surprise. You deserve it. You do so much. You are one of the nicest people.
Wow! Merry Christmas. I wish I had sent you that. and ditto -you deserve all things wonderful. Again your tag is awesome and so is the hair clip. Don't you love that nasty snowman.
Love the hair bauble!
Wow, what a great day! You make a delightful tag, some beautiful bling for yourself AND receive this sweatshirt in the mail!!! I saw that online the other day and decided it had to stay on my wish list for awhile!!!
Love your tag & hair clip. You deserve to have a secret Santa!!
Great tag, and the hair clips are brilliant!
I have an idea who Santa might have been...couldn't go to a sweeter person who keeps the crafting people going!
You're a treasure to so many!
Your Friend in ART,

What a beautiful tag you created. I'll have to show the hair clip to my girlfriend who is always looking for something new and exciting to put in her hair.
What a gorgeous rendition of the tag Linda. You knocked this one out of the park! And the hair piece, WOW! Too cute! What a wonderful surprise also!
Hi Linda; your tag is great but your hair clip is inspired! Such a clever idea. Glad you got a suprise gift; things like that are such a blessing when they arrive unexpectedly!
Lovely tag Linda! Using the gem snowflakes give it a different effect! Great idea with the hair clips too, it's always fun when you find those interesting objects that you can put to good crafty use!
You lucky duck too with the T!m hoodie!! Surprises are fun but you sooo deserve it sweetie!!
Have a great Sunday!

Fabulous!!! You're the first person I've seen who has the actual facets (vs. fragments), and they're fabulous! I also love your additional projects.

Your tag is so brilliant. I can see you really rock the T!m techniques. Your clever hair clip/pin is a great gift idea. How sweet of you to share your "findings". Thank you. Happy tag creating...

Love the hair clip you created from the Facet. How creative *smiles*
Linda: Your tag is so very pretty. Nice work! And your hair clip is quite creative!!!!
I have done the first three TH tags but they aren't on my blog yet. Don't have any facets, so not sure if I'll get this one done.....Sigh!
