Catching Up ... Again!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all doing well and are having a good week. I'm still in denial that Christmas is next week! I think with the weather being so warm, not complaining, and losing my beautiful dog this past weekend has put a damper on my holiday spirit this year. I know once I'm surrounded by my family I will feel better and will enjoy the day.

 A few weeks ago I got together with the Artsy Fartsy girls to catch up AGAIN on Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015. We used Google Hangout to get together as one of the girls is out of state. We always have fun creating together and it's great to share products and use products we haven't used in awhile. It's also great to learn a new technique or a new way to use products we already have. We created three tags and I wanted to share my favorite one today. I will share the other two tags next week.

My thanks to Jenn Shurkus for sharing the dimensional Sizzix die needed to create this awesome Halloween tag. Here's Tim's tag ...

I will admit, this tag was time consuming, and we goofed a bit so its was even more time consuming, LOL but well worth it in the end. All the inking really added depth to the face and made the tag come alive! Here's the final tag.

I love the gold stickles on his tooth and the layering of inks adds detail to his face.

The bottom of the tag has a fun word band attached. We added Picket Fence Distress Paint to the word band to distress it up!

Thanks for stopping by today and I will return next week with more tags and another fun holiday project life page. Have a great weekend.

Project Life and a Fun Online Crop!

Hi Everyone! I want to thank those who left lovely comments on my Halloween projects from last weeks 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. All of the 5 for 5 designers had a great time and we look forward to our next event in November. Stay tuned!! If you missed any of my projects here's a quick link ...

 

Day 1: Paint

Day 2: Purple

Day 3: Haunted House

Day 4: Stencils

Day 5: Witch

 

Today I want to share a project life page I created using the absolutely gorgeous

Notes and Things Value Kit. This kit is so neutral with lots of gold foil touches. I LOVE the clean and simple look with the gold accents!! Here's the whole page. (These photos were taken with my iphone, outside as my DSRL is not cooperating with me.)

The shaker pocket was from a previous PL page and this collection went perfectly with it! Here's some close ups - I kept the embellishments to a minimum to allow the gold to shine through!

 

 

I love the white of the collect app photos with this collection.

These cards are all single sided and a package of die cuts come with the value kit.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

This week Noel Mignon is having a Fall Harvest online crop.

Please come hang out with us - we have lots of fun prizes just waiting for you!! See you there!!

 

5 for 5 Blog Hop Event: Halloween - Day 5

Welcome to Day 5 of our latest 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. We are 5 crafty friends getting together and creating 5 Holiday themed projects for 5 consecutive days. The event runs from October 12th until October 16th and is Halloween inspired!!
Today is our final day of the Blog Hop. We have had so much fun sharing our Halloween projects and maybe we inspired you to create something just for fun. Today's theme is Witch. This can mean a witch's hat, a broom, witch's feet, etc. I decided to create a card using Tim Holtz Bird Crazy and Crazy Things Stamp Sets.

 

 I just love this stamp set! The Crazy Things stamp set is a perfect match for these crazy birds. I used a Tim Holtz Shatter Stencil and texture paste to create the background. Once dry I blended Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink over the background.

I water colored the bird with Wilted Violet Distress ink and the Witch's hat with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Small Talk - Occasions and couldn't be more perfect. I inked the edges of the sentiment with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.

 Please hop on over and check out today's projects for each of the designers! They all did a great job and hopefully you will be inspired to make a card, tag, ATC or whatever you desire to celebrate Halloween!!
