Each month members of our Ranger staff join in the fun of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2014 inspiration. They each use the ideas shared by Tim's tutorial to create a new project. We are happy to share with you our October projects...
Trick or Treat Tag by Teresa Natividad
This was actually a happy accident. Id originally planned to do a night sky with Texture Paste colored black and the metallic Distress Spray Stains on top of it, but Id over sprayed and it looked less like sky and more like stone to me. So I decided to go in a different direction and used the resulting piece as the starter to my tag. I cut up slate tiles and built a Halloween scene around it.

Lifes Moments Card by Phil Quagliariello
I wanted to make a birthday card for my sister. Since time is involved in celebrating birthdays, I used Texture Paste on the clock and stars stencils to provide some depth, with the filmstrip stamp symbolizing the passing of time.
The overall colors of the distress spray stain background, word band and stamped saying did the trick for me.
