Joan's Garden Tag Challenge Week 2

One of my favorite things to make is Tags and Joan over at Joan's Garden has a tag challenge going on so I just have to participate . I covered a #8 tag with Websters Page Your Life Beautiful ,made a rosette with TH's rosette alterations die ,cut some butterflies with MS punch added some ribbon,tulle and lace and attached a TH's swirl behind the rosette . The sentiment I stanmped and embossed on Vellum since I didn't want to cover up the pretty paper . Very happy with how this turned out. I made a card some time ago with the same paper so now I will have a tag to go with the card .

CCC#26 Rusted Grunge

It's been snowing here in NS for most of the day so I've spent most of my afternoon in my craft room . Since the challenge over at StudioL3 is due tomorrow I need to get this one done today . Had so much fun doing this challenge taken from page 45 of the Compendium of Curiosities book ---Rusted Grunge . Sorry can't give you any more details as it's against the rules . I chose to make a valentine card this time instead of a tag which I usually do . I like how it turned out . The rusted grunge is done on the hinge and the key . Hearts are cut with the spellbinders heart dies . Bird and rosette are with TH's alterations dies and the ticket was stamped with TH's Odds&Ends stamp.DP from Graphic45. Added an oval gem in the Love for bling.

Entering this are also in Simon Says Stamp and Show your newest stamp --my newest stamp being the ticket stamp from Tim Holtz's ODDs & Ends.

Happy New Year to everyone out them in blog land.Hope everyone celebrated and welcomed in 2011 I know I did .
It's good to be home again after spending the holidays with my family in Ontario. Now it's time to take down the decorations and put them away for another year . Tonight I finally decided to spend some time in my craft room to try and see if I could do the challenge over at StudioL3 before the deadline. Here's what I came up with . The challenge this week is from page 34 in Tim's book --scribbled stain distress. Since it's New Year's I decided to make a tag celebrating in Paris. Wouldn't it be awesome to welcome in the New Year under the Eiffel Tower.
