On July 31, I finished the July’s challenge of Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014. I was beginning to wonder if I would get a tag finished in July because I was having such a hard time trying to decide how to create my tag.
Tim’s tag, shown here, is a summer themed tag. I don’t have
the dies that he used nor do I have the embossing powder that he used to
make the sand and to cover the seahorse, sand dollar and star fish.
My supply closet is very
limited. I know I still could have created a summer themed tag but something
just didn't feel right. I thought about using a July 4th, Independence
Day, themed tag but nothing was coming to me.
Then, the son of the Preacher and I was sworn into the Army (read post here) during the
month of July, and I knew that I had to do something to remember this big
event in his life.
My tag is very simple, nothing fancy. I found the Uncle
Sam postage stamp image and the Army camouflage background on Google images. I used some old stickers for the USA
and I found the stars in my embellies stash. I stamped the date, July 21, because that was the day of our son's big day. I had the Army print ribbon in my stash from a page I made documenting the decision our son had made when he was 12.
Now on to the August tag!
