On "An Attitude of Gratitude" today the theme is Dreams and the technique to make your own Washi Tape. Couldn't resist but to replicate my November Timmy Tag as it has the word Dream and I just love its dreamy feel. 
The scripture today was very similar to day #24 so I changed it to the dream of Jacob of the stairway to heaven resting on the earth. Have to say my dreams aren't really the earthly kind, more of the life to come, so this was quite fitting for me. Would love some angel wings and to sore above the clouds.
I made some Washi Tape using DST (double sided tape) and some tissue paper. I stamped it with distress but it just soaked into the paper. Versa colour wasn't much better. Only having 3 colours of Archival (Black, Coffee & Sepia) I used then used them all on it as well and it wasn't that bad in the end.
Have to say that using Tim Holtz's hashed stamp on the backing, as was in his technique this month really makes a difference. Love this technique and hope I remember to use it more often.And finally an update on the ATC I made yesterday. My husband said it reminded him of one of his cycling routes so I added a bike to it and gave it to him.
PS - Have since added a darker edge round my page - knew it was missing something.

Wow, BJ, I just love your journal and the matching tag, the colors are so soft and pretty! You did a fantastic job! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
BJ, this is just spectacular! I love it! The whole layout is just gorgeous! Funny you used that deer today. I JUST got the set in the mail today and was using him to make a Christmas card tonight! Are there dies to cut him out or did you do it by hand?
I think I biffed my page today, nothing worked right and it is just very indistinct.
Hope tomorrow turns out better. I have to take my dad to the dr. and then have to paint some stuff at church in the evening so don't know when I'll get at my page.
