Compendium Of Curiositues 3 Challenge #15

I have been so behind on my CC3C challenges, I think I've missed 3 so far. My life has just been so busy lately and with my surgery I've gotten behind. 

I so love the challenges and since I have more time at home now that I can't drive I have time to create! YAY!

I needed to create a birthday card for a friend's son who is having his 19th birthday soon so I decided to use this challenge to make him a card.

You can find this challenge here: Linda Ledbetter and Studio L3

You can get a copy of Tim's Book here: Tim Holtz and he will even sign it for you

Linda's sponsor is Inspiration Emporium who will give one random person 50.00 for their store!!

AND one entry chosen by the Design team will win a prize pack from Tim and Mario themselves!! - make sure to follow Mario On Instagram , he's a hoot!!

This challenge is on page 38 of Tim's book and it's all about Cabinet Card Pockets

These little pockets are so versatile and fun, I have a pack and just love them

Here is my creation for this challenge and for my friends son for his b-day

I stamped my butterflies onto the tag first and then again onto vellum, cut them out, in order to make them stand up

I also used Tim's Shadow Press Moments embossing folder to create the word

This was so fun to create, these cabinet cards are great!! 

I hope you have enjoyed my creation today

CHEERS!!!

CC3C #7 - Painted Industrial

Hello everyone and thanks for coming by once again. Today's project is based upon Linda Leddbetter's Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge number 7. 

This Challenge is based upon Tim's 3rd book and this particular challenge is on page 46. It is called Painted Industrial

Once winner will win a prize pack directly from Tim and 

Mario!! They are always so generous!

AND... one winner will win 50.00 gift card for Inspiration Emporium

For my project today I wanted to do a canvas so I began by using a few colors of distress paint to color my background

I also used lots of Tim's dies and papers and other products to create everything on this project. 

Here is my finished canvas

This is what my canvas looked like before I added everything

And here are some photos of my canvas after everything was added

 I hope you like my creation and thank you so much for coming by the blog today.

Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge #4

Hello all and welcome back.  I missed the 3rd challenge over at Linda Ledbetter's Studio L3 and I didn't want to miss another one. I just love partaking in these challenges because it takes me back to the Tim Holtz styles, which I truly love. 

This time the host is The Funkie Junkie Boutique they are giving away a 25.00 gift certificate to one lucky winner!!

There is also a prize pack directly from Tim Holtz and Mario! YAY!! So two great ways to win!

For this challenge we are working on page 49 of Tim's book A Compendium Of Curiosities Volumn 3 if you buy the book it's chock full of techniques including this one

This one goes over layering Tim's stencils and texture paste, how much fun is that? I love stencils so this challenge was right up my alley.

Here is my submission for this challenge...

I hope you will stop by again tomorrow for my Stampotique Design team post!! Have a great day!

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 1

Hello all, Im so excited about the New Compendium of Curiosities Challenges that have begun once again, you can find them Here on Linda Ledbetter's Blog. She has done these challenges for every one of Tim Holtz books and I have taken part in all of them. I'm thrilled that she is doing them again with this new book.

You can get a signed copy of this book on Tim's website HERE

For this challenge we have two weeks to come up with a creation from page 43 called Paint Marbling

This is a fun technique using distress paint and I have done it many times since the paint came out. It's great for creating backgrounds

For my creation I chose to make a card and I started with three colors of distress paint

 I didn't want to go with the brighter colors this time, I wanted more of a darker background, that's why I went with the colors I did

This is how my background turned out. I love it, that marbling technique is really beautiful

This is how it looked once dried

I used Tim's Dies and Stamps to create my words and leaves 

I also used distress stain to color my ribbon and added a heart charm

If you haven't joined in on this make sure you do, it's sure to be a blast!!

Thanks for coming by!!
