Did you have a FANTASTIC Christmas? I hope so!
To all my friends who sent Christmas cards, THANK YOU. Each and every one is awesome!
In some respects mine was fabulous. . .I had my grandkids here! (Technically they are not my grandkids yet because the wedding is not until April, but they have stolen my heart already so they ARE my grandkids!) They are such sweethearts! In other ways it has been a hard few days as this it the first Christmas without Mom. Having Brandon and Izzy here definitely helped me though!
It's always a busy time of year but I managed to follow along while Tim was creating his 12 Tags of Christmas. I even created about half them, but somewhere in the early days of the 12 tags I was inspired to create a shadow box using Tim's "Configurations"! The box is why I don't have all the tags completed yet because I was making boxes! I really had fun with this! To all my friends who sent Christmas cards, THANK YOU. Each and every one is awesome!

Some of the compartments were created using the technique introduced in the 12 Tags, other compartments were designed around the images used in the tags. Thank you Tim for the inspiration (and for designing the cool products!)

Thank you so much for sharing your shadowbox Linda! It is absolutely gorgeous and I think the idea of building off the 12 tags idea is a very creative twist on that project!
