12 Tags of 2014- July
 
I was really worried I would miss this months tag.  I have made a commitment to create every month.  A couple weeks ago I injured my back.  All those new Sizzix dies and I haven't touched one of them.   And sitting in my craft room isn't really comfortable.  So, taking it slow, breaking a lot and a few Advil I have managed to create the tag.

 
I am a coastal girl and hail from Vancouver Island.  So, these Sizzix dies I fell in love with!


I followed Tim's technique's. 

 
Creating the sand was a new one for me.  I really loved how it turned out.

 
When I was picking out all my Sizzix goodies I "almost" got the embossing folder Tim used.  Ugh, I should have.  But the rays one worked out perfect.
 

I love adding distress paint to my word bands.

 
A lot of great techniques this month which made it a lot of fun.

 
I'm off to YELLOWSTONE tomorrow in my motor home along with my adorable husband, 3 kids, dog and towing my Jeep!  One of my favorite National Parks to visit.  I'll be dragging my butt through the park with this sore back.  But I cannot wait!  So, I'm really happy I managed to get this done before I go.
 
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my July tag that almost didn't happen.  Now to ice my back and rest!

    looks gorgeous! I don't have anything even close to these dies so I'm trying to figure how to improvise this month... love the embossing folder you used and love the new blog look (I usually just visit from my phone, the laptop is so much prettier!)

    Beautiful tag, Nicole! I love how you did your seahorse, the crackle and distress looks awesome and the background has a nice calming effect. Sorry to hear about your back, praying for a speedy recovery. Enjoy spending time with your family.
