Only 4 more days left!! It's SO fun to see what is unveiled each day. Today's charming creation by Tim Holtz might be my new favorite...it's SO hard to choose one though because they are all amazing. My favorite part of this particular tag, though, is the cute townscape with those wires peeking out like smoke from a chimney.The townscape was made using the townscape die and: non-stick craft sheet, grungeboard, craft scissors, bottle paint dabber, sanding grip, picket fence stickles, heat it craft tool, wire, and a hot glue gun.
