Cheery Lynn Design Challenge #116 Sweethearts

Evening bloggers just wanted to post a little box I made to enter in the challenge over at CLD this week . This week it's all about sweethearts&love. I've admired these little Origami Boxes for some time now so decided to try making one . I saw a video tutorial over on Sandi Mclean's blog  that she had made . I used K&C pattern papers(since I own tons of it) to create my box . It was pretty cool to see how this was created with just folding the paper. For my lid I used spellbinders scalloped square and then layered it with CLD Italian doily ,flowers were made with spellbinders blossoms one. I decorated the box with MS heart punch , CLD Sophia's Heart Border B333.I then finished it off with hearts cut from glitter c/s ,red gems and red organza ribbon . I will be getting this to someone special filled with candy on Valentines Day.

2014 Tim's Tags

This is just going to be a quick post. My 3 sons got together and gave me a ipad mini for Christmas so tonight i decided to see if I could post to my blog with it . I had some scraps left from making my previous tag for Tim's 2014 Tags so decided to use them for another tag . Here's what I came up with.

Well couldn't figure out how to link my photo so now back to the computer LOL

The globe was cut from the Cricut Cart. Going Place ,background and plane was stamped with various stamps from TH stamp set --The Journey. The clock is a sticker which I layered on a silver scallop circle. I added a pleated fringe from tissue wrap along the bottom of my tag .

Tim's Tags 2014 (January tag)

Well here I go again last year I started off with January's tag and intended to do all 12 but never did so this year I thought I'd try again . So here's my tag for January . Had to improvise a lot since I don't have many steampunk or clock works dies . So to make my clock face I used foil wrap that you would use for wrapping pipes or to seal around a heating system the backing peels off and it's quite sticky. I attached it to a piece of grunge board and them cut 2 different size circles , the center of the smaller circle I stamped  a clock face in black archival ink and embossed with clear embossing powder since I didn't have a clock or gears embossing folder. I then sponged with black archival ink since I didn't have distress paint and I couldn't get the effect I wanted with the stains or black dabber acrylic paint.  The tag was sponged with Pumice Stone DI and spritzed with water . I discovered I did have the large clock masks that I'd had for years and  used for the background . The numbers along the edge where stamped in black and embossed with clear EP then sanded to rough them up a bit . I hand wrote the month and year for my charm tag and attached with jump ring and pin to a the ribbon . To complete my tag I attached 3 words from the chit chat words to the edge with Tim's stapler .
I really enjoyed making this tag but now realize that I need to invest in some of the distress paints .
