March When Tim posted his March tag for the 12 Tags of 2013 I knew I was going to have to do some major improvising because although I have a lot of Tim Holtz products in my stash, the only things I had this time was the Foliage and Memo Pins. It took me a few days to wrap my head around it... but in the end I'm really happy with how my tag turned out and it was nice to have some creative time at my art desk. Thanks for stopping in and feel free to leave me a comment and let you me know you stopped by! Anna I didn't have the Fringe Die so I cut my grass by hand. I looked at the picture of the die and sized my grass to match Tim's. I had Green Co-ordinations but not the Kraft one...so my grass is green on both sides of the fence. I sanded the paper first and then gave it a good dose of Walnut Stain Distress Ink before cutting. Then after I put it on my tag, I gave it a little hint of Picked Raspberry. ...
What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? As always I'm running late posting my workdesk, but a busy day at work and then I had errands to run which kept me away from my desk until late this evening.

Well, this is what I woke up to today. After listening all night to it pouring BUCKETS of rain...I turn on the news to find that places about 1/2 hour east of me and 1/2 hour west of me are devastated!! I work for the County...and our EOC command center is here. In fact half of the department I work in either run the center or work in it. So that was what we lived and breathed today. This was what I saw looking out my windows today as the new vans were lined up right below all in a line. I had the news up on my laptop all day so that I could keep up with the news reports... ...and this was a shot looking down into the lobby below where part of the EOC were taking breaks and watching the newcasts on the large TVs outside the Commissioners Chambers. We've already had 19 confirmed deaths, and who knows what the weekend will bring as they continue to search through the rubble and destruction.
