Happy, happy birthday USA and happy, happy 4th of July to all of my American friends!! I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with family, food, fireworks and fun!! Stay safe!! I will be attending a small family bbq so I won't be around much this weekend. I'll check in with you when I can :)
One of my crafty goals each year is to enter Tim Holtz's Tags challenges as often as I can, and though I try each month, I don't always make it. I was able to sneak in some time in the craft room to complete a tag for the July Challenge - I was excited that I had most of the products to work with :) I pretty much followed Tim's Instructions HERE. I didn't have the new Hickory Smoke Distress Ink, so I used Pumice Stone instead. And my Black Soot Distress Marker didn't want to work with the spritzer, so I used Walnut. The 4 is from Tim's Inside Out die, cut with silver foil. I also stitched with white thread instead of black because I was too lazy to change the thread on my machine ;)
I am entering this in the following challenges:
1. Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - July
2. My Sheri Crafts - Happy 4th of July
3. DL.ART - July Linky
4. DL.ART - Thankful Thursday - Red, White & Blue
5. Little Scrap Pieces - Show it It Off Saturday
6. Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday #95 - Anything Goes
7. 3 Girl Jam July Challenge - Anything Goes w/Ribbon
God Bless America!! Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Happy 4th of July Lisa! Awesome tag!
Terrific Tag dear to honor our Independence Day. Safe and Happy Fourth to you and yours...
Great job Lisa. I love this tag and your adjustments are perfect. Do you dye your ribbon yourself? I love the colors
Happy 4th Lisa,
hope you have a fun and safe holiday. Thanks for joining my DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY CHALLENGE s.
Fantastic patriotic tag Lisa! Great take on Tim's challenge! Hope you have a fun and safe 4th of July celebration!
My sweetest friend, your tag is fabulous! I love the images, the foil-cut 4, and the sweet star on top! Your inking is so pretty, as is your stitching. I had to giggle... the next time I sew I will be risking it running out in the middle, but it's just so much work to change the thread. ;) I know how much you love Tim's goodies and challenges, so I'm ecstatic you were able to squeeze this in! You showcase his products to perfection. :o) Lovely work, my dearest Lisa! I hope you're enjoying the family BBQ! Have a happy and safe 4th! :o)
Hugs and blessings,
Karen
Gorgeous!!!
Happy (belated) 4th of July! Hope you had a fabulous time with your family. I {heart} your tag!
Wow Lisa, your tag is amazing!! I love all the detail this baby has in it. The stitching is wonderful, the colors perfect and so soft looking, the star, the foiled 4-it all looks amazing! Glad to hear that you are spending time with your family celebrating. We had rain all day long, miserable. It cleared off in time for some fireworks, but since everything was soaked and it was very cool out, I didn't even bother with going out to watch any. lol Oh well, maybe next year. Hugs, Brenda
Happy belated 4th of July! I hope that you are enjoying your weekend.
A FABULOUS tag my friend!!
Have a wonderful day,

Lisa!!! This is perfection!! Tim's style definitely syncs with yours, for sure! A perfect patriotic creation!
Okay...this is fabulous! I just love those blueprint images and you worked this set beautifully! I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday my friend!
Wow....awesome Lisa! Happy 4th of July to you, enjoy the weekend!
Fantastic tag..I love tags, and this one is stunning! I used to do the TH tags...maybe next year (teehee) I can join in again...I especially love the colors of this one. Hope you had a great 4th..ours was rather tame (a good thing) but we had lots of "drop ins"...not such a good thng..lol! Have a great week my friend...love seeing beautiful work!
Stunning tag - love the distressing. Hope you had a fabulous weekend.
Cool patriotic tag. I love the way you did the top with the pin,star and pretty ribbon
Terrific take on Tim's tag Lisa! I hate changing the thread on sewing machine too! Belated best wishes to you, hope your 4th July was happy in every way! Nicola x
Awesome tag with such gorgeous colors! Love the metal start and the pin with the beautiful ribbon! Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!
Hi Lisa, it's been awhile and as always your work is fantastic. I love this Tag. It's a sure winner in my book. I'll be pulling for you.
Happy crafting!

Your tag turned out wonderfully :)
I did all 12 of Tim's monthly tags one year…the next year only made it for 4 months, but I enjoyed doing every one of them.
I hope you enjoyed your fun filled weekend.
Lisa, this tag is pretty awesome. And those stamped images are so perfect for America's birthday.
Love your tag! I always enjoy reading how bloggers substitute for what the inspiration piece used, and usually I like it better the way a blogger has created a new look. Your tag looks quite modern with the stamps used, but the elements you've added created such a lovely vintage look..perfectly right for the birthday age we were celebrating. And that dyed ribbon is just FAB-U-lous! Well done on a super commemoration of this years' 4th of July. Hope the BBQ was lots of fun. TFS & Have a great week! Hugs
Tim Holtz is so talented and I think you did his tag proud. Love the flag and the red, white and blue ribbon. Perfect for the 4th. I hope your holiday was great.
Happy belated 4th my friend! I LOVE your fabulous tag! The colors are just beautiful and the flag is gorgeous! The ribbon is perfect:)
So glad you had a great 4th of July! We ended up going to the lake and watching the fireworks on the pontoon! So fun and really such a perfect night!!! We also took a drive up north for the day and took in a little shopping, a lumberjack show and lunch on the river in this small tourist town~it was fun to get away for the day:)
We are still waiting for our new snuggle bug to arrive! I am guessing if she doesn't have it this week, they will induce?! She is definitely taking her time! Little Lacy started cereal today for the 1st time...omg, she gobbled it like it was her last meal~so funny!
Have a great evening!

Fabulous 4th of July tag!
Thank you Lisa~
Oh, that's pretty.
Oh Lisa...what a fun version of Red, White and Blue! this is just fantastic. You always use the best combination of stamps and papers on your work. So stunning. I hope your little BBQ was wonderful. We did the same thing and as always...I ate way too much! Wishing you a creative, happy rest of the week. hugs...Donna K
This is GORGEOUS Lisa!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your fun tag!!!!!

This is an awesome tag! I love the distressed look and all the colors mixed well together. Great job! Good luck with your future Tim Holtz tag projects
Thanks for sharing with My Sheri Crafts
Lovely, distressed tag, Lisa - very pretty in the uncommon color choices! xoxo
Lisa, this is a magical and awe inspiring work of art! So much beauty to your tag, from the meaning of our freedom and the flag and star - very symbolic and beautifully done! I love the softness this also has, almost like a beautiful newsprint feel, rolling out the blue prints to create a gorgeous tag indeed! I hope your 4th was WONDERFUL! ♥
Hi Lisa, What a fabulous Tag... I love all of the distressing and it is so full of so many details... You rocked this girl!!! Nicely done!
Lov this patriotic tag! And love the stitching- what a great look. The dyed ribbon is delicious!!!

Your tag is wonderful! Hope you had a great 4th of July! Ours was quiet...we just stayed home (just the two of us!)
Sorry I'm so late to visit your wonderful tag, I had a play date with my Mom! haha! I just knew that your version of Tim's tag would be amazing, and I was right!! I love the touch of femininity that you gave your version while still staying true to Tim's style. That takes real talent! Love it! hugs :)
Oh wow!! Gorgeous non traditional, but still very patriotic. :)
Awesome tag!
Hope you had a great 4th of July my friend!
This is SO neat! I love the blue print stamps! They can be hard to work with, you did a beautiful job!
Thanks for joining us at the 3 Girl Jam challenge this month.
