6x6 Christmas Page Teaser Pix

Over on the All Things Tim Yahoo group,

Im hosting a 6x6 Christmas Page swap.

You had to make 20 6x6 pages, send them to me and I would swap them all out for everyone. Our deadline for the swap is coming up soon and I decided that I would post a teaser image of the corner of one of my pages. Just a fun way to get everyone excited about the upcoming Holidays.

Whatever Makes you Happy, Alcohol Ink Splatter

Yep, you guessed it. I once again Im doing the 2 for Tuesday Challenge combination. So many irons in the fire this time of year.

This week at Studio L3 we are up to week 22 in the

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge.

This week its Alcohol Ink Splatter.

Over at Simon say Stamp and Show the Challenge the challenge is

Whatever Makes You Happy.

Well the AI splatter technique speaks for itself in this project.

As for the Whatever Makes you Happy challenge, well nothing makes me happier than making tags. I also like to multi stamp images to get layered results. On this tag I actually stamped in this order, paint, distress ink, archival, then embossed the image then archival again.

I love the 3-D effect it gave.

Compendium-of-Curiosities-Challenge Week 21 & Simon Says Stamp and Show your Favourite Tim Holtz Stamp!

WOW that title is a mouthful but as you suspected I am combining the challenges once again for I feel this week they really do go hand in hand.

The Compendium challenge at Studio L3 is Perfect Distress.

The Challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show is Your Favourite

Tim Holtz Stamp!

I told you they went Hand it Hand.

I love the perfect distress technique for I feel it always gives a dreamy cloud like result. Picking a favorite stamp was more of a challenge. I picked the set of stamps that I first thought I just had to have from Tim Holtz.

I tried to photograph the close up from the side to really show off the Perfect Distress technique.

I love the way the tag turned out completely "dream" like.

This week Simon Says Stamp and Show ... Something Shabby!

As the title says this week over at the Simon Says Stamp and Show Blog

the challenge is Something Shabby!

As I often do I used the challenge as an opportunity to make another tag for the Holidays.

Below is my Shabby Santa on a fireplace tag I created by using one of Tim Holtz Texture fades then edged with some of Tim's Tiddings Tissue Tape.

Compendium-of-Curiosities-Challenge Week 20

Week 20??? What??

That right folks we are in week 20 of the Compendium-of-Curiosities-Challenge going on over at Linda's blog Studio L3

This week challenge is Industrial Grunge. You know the really down and dirty technique using Tim's Grungeboard. I decided to use this week to make another birthday card. These weekly challenges have really helped me stay ahead of my card and tag making. Thanks Linda!!

Christmas Pennants Revealed!

As promised here are the spoiler pictures of the Christmas Pennants I made for the swap on the All Things Tim Yahoo Group.

I had such a good time creating these pennants. My creative muse was working overtime last week and I couldn't be happier in the way they turned out. I hope the recipients like them as well.

The swap was a 10 for 10. I made 12 for I am keeping one, and Sandy our host said we could make an extra one if we wish and she would send them to Tim Holtz.

I made them in sets of 3 using different papers for each set.

Embellished them with vintage postcards, mini Christmas ornaments and rosettes I made using Tim's die

Which one will you get? That's up to Sandy...:)
