Running a little late....

I am running late on projects as per usual.  I always have good intentions to get things completed quickly but I seem to need a deadline to actually get something finished.  I know that I have until the weekend after next to finish my mother-in-laws Christmas gift.  She already knows what she is getting since it has been the same gift for that last few years.  I do an album of the kids that show their progression during the year.  It is usually about 40 8x8 layouts.

So how many do I have done? If you guessed, zip, zilch, zero then you would be right.  I seem to be stuck at choosing which pictures I want to put into the album.  This is the part that I find the hardest every year.  When you take so many photos, it is difficult to limit it down to 40 or 45 photos.

So instead of working on the photos last night, I finished Tag #4 of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas and started Tag #5.  I am not sure I like my #4 as much as the others.  The balance seems to be a bit off.  I think once it is added to the rest as part of the wall hanging it will probably work.  I will be adding other bits and baubles once it starts going together.

Materials used:  Melissa Frances pattern paper, stickers, and chunky glitter, Tim Holtz's facets, Prima bling, Gelatins bling, Distress ink, Ranger alcohol ink, 4x6 coaster, Bazzill cardstock, Maya Road chandelier gems, and miscellaneous beads.

Tonight, I am once again planning on tackling those photos but I have the sneaking suspicion that Tag #5 will call me instead.  I left it at the Stickle drying phase last night.

Happy Thursday...only 1 more day left of this work week.  Yay!
