Now that I know my swap partner has received it, I can post the tag I did in the ATT yahoo group. Allie hosts a monthly swap called, appropriately enough, the Monthly Mailer.
Each month has a different theme, suggested techniques (Tim-inspired, of course), even suggested color combinations.....great for anyone in a rush or whose mojo has temporarily departed.
Since I'm not so big on reading directions, I didn't get much past the theme part, but Liz (my partner) likes it, I like it, so I guess I'm good. Being January, the theme had to do with new beginnings, time, all that January jazz.
For the little stamp (Tim's, natch!), I used a technique I learned from the very talented Estrella Bianchi. It involves reinforcements, clear contact paper, and is easier done than described, so no tutorial on it here. Sorry! I think it is really cool. Click on the photo for a closer look.
These is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, Eileen!! Love that saying!
