CCC/SSSS

I had a chance to play the other night and made a tag for the SSSS and CCC over on Simon Says Stamp and Show and Studio L3 blogs. I'm thinking spring here, we had temps around 40 for a few days and I have spring fever big time!! The warmer weather didn't last long and we are cold again and possible storm this weekend, oh yay!!

So I tried my hand at making a stamp from Tim's birdcage die cut out of foam and also made a mask, worked pretty good! I loved the technique used out of Tim's book for this challenge and will have to try it again!!

Next week I'm going scrapbooking for the weekend, I have been telling my daughter that I'm going light and just taking what pics & paper I need, yay right!! I have been gathering my stuff and forgot how much stuff you need to bring!! Can't decide on what pics I want to do and what paper so I already have my big tote full and started on another one!! Then there is the cricut & cartridges and diecuts, and everything else!! I think my car is going to be pretty full and I still need to find room for clothes, food etc. I don't think I know what traveling light is!! lol Should be interesting!

Have a good one everyone!!

CCC #27/Distress Misting Mask

Here is my entry for CCC #27 Distress Misting Mask on Linda's blog http://studiol3.blogspot.com/ I have never tried this technique before so I really wanted to get something done for this challenge. So I squeezed a little bit of it in before I went to work the other day, first attempt didn't work, oh my not much time hurry or you are going to be late for work, I said what the heck and took the time to try it again! So I managed to get the masking part done! Then I was to go watch my little grandson Jackson after work and there was pending high winds in the forecast after snowing all day so I wasn't sure if I would make it home or not so I hurried up and through a bag together and another bag with stuff to try finish this tag, and of course forgot a lot of stuff!! It all worked out I got to work on time and the winds didn't get as high as forecasted and I made it home that night well about 3:30 in the morning, kids! So I was able to finish it yesterday, WHEW!! This is a really cool technique, I used rusty hinge, crushed olive and wild honey mixed with a little gold perfect pearls.


And here I am again trying to rush through a blog post before I have to head out and about again!! Don't forget to stop back tomorrow for the winner of the Tim Holtz die cut!!
Have a good one!

CCC#19

Last week on Linda's blog http://studiol3.blogspot.com I won two of Tim's die cuts and they came in the mail today. Woo Hoo I thought I was excited when I found out I won them, but boy I was excited when I got my hands on them!!

Luckily I was off today so had a chance to play with them a little bit and made this tag for this weeks challenge Extreme Masking, I have done the masking before but not the second step in the book, pretty cool!! I will also be using the tag for the challenge on SSSS http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com.

Thanks again to Linda & Simon Says for the die cuts, love them!!!
Thanks to everyone for all your nice comments!! Have a good one!
