Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014-December and CC3C # 18 Pocket Pages

I can't believe 2014 is almost over...but I always look forward to the New Year with anticipation.  For my last post of 2014 I am submitting both my December tag (click here for Tim's) as well as my entry to the latest Compendium of Curiosities Challenge hosted by the talented Linda Ledbetter.

First things first...here are a couple of pics of my tag.  I had to make do with the supplies I had on hand.  I really loved the use of the tea infuser to glitter!



Onto the CC3 Challenge #18 entry: Pocket Pages based on the book of the same name by Tim Holtz.
I have to confess that I never finished my worn cover because I struggled with how I would use it. The Curiosity Team posted some great inspirational works for this challenge and I thought I would use the pocket pages to organize my monthly tags for the Tim Holtz  12 tags of 2015.  I used this month's tag as an example of how I would organize my TAGS and TIPS book.   When you open the book my take on the monthly tag will be visable.

When you flip open the tag,...on the left, I have a small pic of Tim's inspiration as well as my favorite tip illustration...on the right is my thoughts on the tag techniques (what I would do again, wish list, ect).  I really think this will help me keep track of neat ideas and a running wish list as well as be a source of inspiration for future  projects.


Finally, I used the technique described in Tim's Book to create my flip pocket page...grab a book and give it a try.

The latest CC3C is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique.  They have a great sale going on now!

Have a Happy and Safe New Years...see you in 2015 :)

    It's beautiful and functional - what a great idea to keep your notes right inside the large pocket! Thanks for sharing with us at CC3C, Kimberly!

    Hi Kimberly. What an adorable tag you've created and your use of the pocket pages to keep notes next to your design is awesome! I love that idea! What a very cool way to incorporate even MORE of Tim's great products into your art area! A book of techniques using the pocket pages is ingenious! Thanks for sharing this idea with all of us at CC3C. I'm sure you'll have some "borrowers" of this idea! <3 Candy
