Anniversary Card for my Parents

I always try to hurry up and make a Anniversary card each year for my parents because their anniversary is right after Christmas. It's actually on New Years Eve and at this time of year it's soo hard to keep up. Once again I am late and I made their card today but hopefully they will love it so much they won't even notice that it's late haha!! 
Since I was making the card anyway, I decided to use the card for this week's Grungy Monday  Challenge. The challenge was to use tissue tape or paper from Tim Holtz , and the winner get's a great 20.00 gift card from Simon Says Stamp

Hope you like it and hope my parents love it :) Happy Anniversary to you both!!! 34 wonderful years yay!!!

 

Steampunk Charm Necklace

We did a steampunk charm swap on my yahoo group TheSumofallATCs and I wanted to share with you how the necklace turned out with all the charms on it. I still need to add a clasp at the end and one gal's charms, but it's almost done. :) Everyone who joined the swap did such a great job!!

 

Christmas Projects

Hey everyone, I wanted to show you the charm that I made for a friend on one of my lists. I found these cool little angles at Michael's and I knew I had to make some sort of charm out of them so I added a Christmas bulb and put some beads onto it. I thought it came out pretty neat looking. Simple but fun!!

I also made this double strand bracelet for a family member. I hope that she likes it, it was my very first double strand, I might be doing more of these once I get some more beads. I like the way it came out.

 

Tim's Tag Day 12

Well this is officially the last day of Tim's tags and I must say that I have a TON of fun and learned a lot. I really loved my first year of following along with Tim. Mario's behind the scene's was super fun to watch too. 
For this tag I didn't have the tissue wrap, wings, crown, cracked doll, the dwelling die, the vintage lace die or the vintage market die. SO I improvised a lot on this one. Wow, it sounds like I didn't have anything Tim used lol.
Anyway, I improvised a ton but I like the way it came out.

 

For the background I used a LeBlanche word stamp and Tim's tissue tape. I just taped the tape over the words and kind of crunched them up a bit. For the word Santa, I painted some words that I cut using a Sizzix alphabet set with gold paint dabbers. For the flower I used some of this really cool gold and cream paper that I had laying around. The Santa stamp is one of Tim's :)

Tim's Tag Day 11

Well I missed making my tag yesterday, I just had a ton of things to do with church and all that I didn't have time to sit and make it. I did however finish it today and I really like how it came out. I didn't have any of the shrink plastic that Tim used on his tag so I nixed that whole part and used what I had on hand. I did the entire background and other parts like Tim's. I absolutely was dying to use this old truck stamp of Tim's on one of my tags so I took the opportunity here to use it. Hope you like it. 

 

Tim Holtz Tag's Day 10

I have a ton to do today so I finished this tag this morning. Again, I didn't have some of the items Tim used so I used what I  had in my stash. I used the Tim Holtz Fragments for my images and wrapped thin wire around them to make them hang together. I also used a Stampin Up set called Bells & Bows for the holly in the upper corner of my tag. I stamped the image and then used my embossing pen to draw in some of the image and emboss to highlight it. For the banner I used Bo Bunny paper called Et Cetera and covered it with Tim Holtz tissue tape and painted it with snowcap paint dabber.  I had to use Old stampin Up stickers for the words. I didn't have the Tim Holtz letters. I also used lots of Tim's distress inks and the seasonal paper pad for the images. Also used the Christmas sheet music of Tim's.

 

 

Steampunk Charms

Part of the reason I have been so busy lately is because I'm in a few swaps in addition to doing the 12 tags of Tim's. So I have been camping in my craft room this entire week. lol... which isn't a bad thing, really. I am hosting a steampunk charm swap on one of my yahoo groups and these are the ones that I made. This was super fun.

 

Well for some odd reason when I upload this pic to blogger it turns sideways. Sorry about that but hopefully you can get a good idea of what I made.
