A Special Christmas Rose (Tim Holtz Tag #12)

I really enjoyed making Tim Holtz's famous grunge roses to feature on this tag.  They were surprisingly easy and are stunning in real life.  This tag won't be gonig into my JYC journal because it's too big and because it has a meaning that is not really about celebrating Christmas with teenagers.

I made this tag for my mother.  Whenever I think of roses, I think of mom.  She grew the most beautiful roses in our yard and was generous in giving bouquets to everyone.  She's been gone for over five years now, and I will go visit her grave when we head south for Christmas.  I usually take a poinsettia to leave for her and my father.  Maybe this year I'll take roses
