Timeless Tag

Hi, guys! It is tag time again!  I am participating in the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013.  I had such a blast participating last year and even was a winner in December.  My friend Ruth loves my tags.  She has asked that I make them for her, so when I can, I will be making two each month and will be giving one to her.

I am very happy with how they turned out.  Distress inks and Distress stains (even the metallics) were used.  I didn't have the cute finger stamp Tim used, so I decided to use various arrows on mine.  Being the klutzy person I am, I was hesitant to cut my embossing folder as instructed. Now, I know X-Acto knives and myself do not play nice together.  My late hubby used to hide them from me.  I didn't cut myself, but I did cut my folder completely in half instead of just enough to insert the tag.  I was able to do this to another of my folders with no incident, but not this time.  Packing tape came in handy to mend it.

If you would like to learn some cool techniques and have a lot of fun, I would highly recommend you take part.  I can't wait to see what Tim comes up with for February!

Until next time!

WOYWW - My First Submission

Hi, guys! Short post today. I decided to join in at WOYWW and show you what is on my desk.  This is a feature done on Wednesday and everyone shares what they are working on with a snap shot of their work space.

Tonight I am working on my January Tag for the 12 Tags of 2013 by Tim Holtz.  You can see the desk is loaded with distress inks, stains and various other goodies.  My hands look extremely inky to say the least!

I am asked often what my desk looks like when I am creating things.  Now you know!

Until next time!
