 melting plastic in Utee?!  that was fun lol
Stamping and inking on gloss paper was also a TON of fun! Thanks Mr. Tim :)

Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas tag 10

Tag 10 was a ton of fun learning

 I feel like  I rubbed a little to much of the picture when it was immersed in the water. But still, it is a great technique and I know I will be doing this one again. I did not have the alpha set that Mr . Tim used. What I used were some grunge alphas that I had purchased a long time ago, painted them black then used the gold paint, turned out great!

Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas tag 9

and now here is tag 9! I LOVED  this technique! I will have to use this in the near future.

I had to show Peter the tag with just the background, his comment was that it looked like an old chesterfield! I giggled and replied thanks! mission accomplished lol

Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas tag 8

I am back to playing with the 12 tags
here is tag 8 !

 This was a great one. Took a lot of time to make. I ended up cutting the little holly leaves. That was tough to do because of the size. The ticket was also created by me. I stamped a journaling stamp using fired brick distress ink onto an kraft colored piece of filefolder, then stamped the hand image , and finally using the corner chomper to give it the ticket corners.

Shabby Chic Tag Swap

I have thought about entering a swap before, but was never able to find one that I thought I would enjoy until now. Well I found one back in November so I signed up  thinking that I would have plenty of time to make six tags for mid Janurary.  Well I finished them today and they are now in the mail!!

The tag swap outline is to make 6 identical tags, use the colours white, blue & silver.  The style is shabby chic and the theme is winter wonderland! now fingers crossed that they arrive on time! I live in Canada and the package is going to the USA :)

Topiary Christmas Origami ball

I finished it before Christmas!!
To be honest I really did enjoy making this and yes it was alot of work tons and tons of folding but to me it is soooo worth it :) I am planning to hang it up in a central area so that I may admire it before having to put it away.

 How many flowers do you think it took to make this gorgeous topiary Chirstmas ball?

P.S.  the papers I used came from here  December 25th collection
