Tim Holtz Die..

Check out the new Tim Holtz die I picked up Saturday. What a scary tree.. I can see that being the back ground on a bunch of cards. Maybe add some leaves.. For now it's just scary with bats hanging out in it. I have again used one of my Halloween Magnolia images Witch Tilda and Pumpkins. I think she is adorable.

Well better get ready for work. Yippie I can hardly wait. Hope your having a fabulous day. Thanks for stopping by..

More Distressing....

I'm suppose to be teaching a distressing class next month at my local scrapbook store Memories of Time. So I've been practicing. For this one I have made my own flowers with the new Tim Holtz die and stamps. I've also made the background paper. What do you think?

It was actually pretty fun. I really like the flowers. You can make so many colors just by changing how hard you press down with your distressing tool thingy. So I didn't get it all over my self this time, but I was neat when I got done either.. :o)

Distressing.....

Hey everyone. Hope your all having a fabulous day. Thanks for stopping by!! The owner of my local scrapbook store Michelle asked me the other day if I knew anything about distressing. Well I said I don't like to get dirty. I can stamp all day with out ever getting ink on me. I tried decoupage once. I hated it. You get all that glue all over the place. Not my favorite thing. But she showed me these great new Tim Holtz stamps she'd just gotten in and said I could take a couple home to play with. Well I couldn't pass that up now could I?

What do you think?

I had ink all over myself by the time I got done. It's pretty messy. I made a big pile of distressing stuff on my counter. Thought since I'm going to give it a go I'll try a few different things. So we have distressing embossing power, distressing inks, Pearl Ex powder, distressing stickles, regular stickles & distressing glimmer mist(I made) All in all I think it turned out pretty good. Don't know that it's my favorite thing, but willing to give it another try. I do still have more stamps to play with.. :o)
