Creative Chemistry 101 (Day 3)

Here are 2 tags using Day 3's techniques, Alcohol Ink Agates and Archival Resist.  There is a 3rd tag, but need to get the embossing folder this week, stay tuned. Stamps and Hybrid inks by Club Scrap, and also used inks and stamps by Tim Holtz.

Creative Chemistry 101 (Day 2)

I recently took the Creative Chemistry's 101 online class with Tim Holtz.  Here's my attempt at the techniques for Day 2, Blended Spritz & Flick, Brushless Watercolor, and Wrinkle-Free Distress...I really didn't like my first attempt... so I watched all the videos, went back and took my time, using the correct papers, tags, inks, etc... I like this much better. Enjoy! ...and if you weren't able to take his class, you can still sign up.  The forum isn't live, but the videos, etc. are there for a lifetime...   Signup is to the left of my blog :)  I used all Ranger Distress Inks, and Club Scrap's Green Thumb stamp.

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 12

Well, here it is! The final tag! I'm so bummed that this is it! I could do this forever.... but I'll just finish up last years, since I was unable to do 2009... and I think I'm only missing a few of 2007... Off I go!

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 11

Ok... here's my day 11.... I loved that he put purple and blue together, I love those 2 colors together... am also loving that he showed us how to make our own stamps... however, that may mean I have to get a Vagabond to do it....hmmmmm..... Well, I used his musical note mask instead....Boy he really got my creativity working again, I'm glad of that, and also made me realize .... I NEED LOTS MORE STUFF!!! LOL!!!

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 10

Here's day 10... I didn't have the snowman, but I had the negative side of the snowman that came in his grungeboard seasonal pack a few years back (I knew I didn't want to throw the negative side away for a reason), so I traced it on plain grungeboard, got my exacto knife out, painted them and VOILA!!!  Found some plastic snowflakes from another tag project a couple years ago with him, and put those on... really looking forward to my Cuttlebug after seeing everything he's doing with dies this year...

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 9

I love it when I have a day I can play hooky from working on the road.
So here's day 9, I used the vellum I had from one of our kits, it was more flexible, I tried using Musical Interlude paper, but it kept ripping.... even used the new Christmas stamp from Club Scrap!

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 8

Here's today's tag.... I've decided that I really need to get more embellishments... when I end the tag with ribbons, and bling... I don't have much... didn't realize it til I started doing the tags... so it's off to shop tomorrow ;)

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 7

So here's day 7, and the easier way for me to do it ... I had the canvas, but not the grungepaper, so after I sprayed the canvas, I stuck it to the back of another sticky canvas.... kind of worked, it was pliable.. .then I just cut the petals out by hand, didn't have a punch... or die machine...

Made my own mists to spray... and used a stripe for a background instead of the woodgrain....

I don't have alot of his stuff anymore... but I'm determined to get more again!!!!!!

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 6

Here's my day 6, I had NOTHING that Tim Holtz was using... ... but it was fun finding ways to  make it look close ;) Having fun with these!  Oh, and I was one of his winners today!  So I'm getting a prize package of his awesome stuff!

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 5

Here's my day 6... something tells me I need to order a different Santa Claus stamp

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 4

Here's day 4 ( and have you seen Tim's day 5?  LOVE IT!! Old school!) I searched my local stores for bling on a roll, with no  luck... so disappointed,  but I'm still liking it...took me all day to decide what to  do....

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 3

Here's my day 3, I was discouraged when I didn't have the bird (but I used one of TH clear stamp sheets on plain grungeboard), and no tissue tape (used my handy dandy ATG gun, and plastered a few strips on the back of musical note ribbon) .... I even went as far as to clip a little bit of our garland off our Christmas tree and give it a hair cut....  :D

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 2

Here's Day 2.... Improvising alot, but more challenging ;)

Tim Holtz Tags, Day 1

Here's my attempt at this years' Tim Holtz' 12 Tags of Christmas, I improvised quite a bit, but I like the results.

September ATC cards, Arts N Craft kit

This is for the Monthly ATC Club with Club Scrap.  This month's kit was perfect, but aren't they all! Hard to see, but the main leaves in center are glittered, and the flower was the stamp image used with Glossy Accents.
