2013 August tag

It is time for 12 tags of 2013


This is my August tag.

If you are wondering what I am talking about you can go to the source...Tim's Blog.

I don't have any of Tim's travel stamps, except for the car.
So I went with a seamstress theme instead.

I think it turned out great!
I love how it all came together with the masking technique!

I used all the step Tim did on his tags, although I had to improvise and use a paper mask, as I do not have his wonderful masking product. I put a mask on the dress form and the thread spool. When done stamping I used my distress markers to add some color and depth.
I also added buttons, a snap and a small safety pin as embellishments. Can't forget the hitch fastener I also added. (gosh I love those things)

All in all I love this tag!

I am not usually a glitter girl, but how could you not have her dust the forest with glitter fairy dust.
The magical powers she is leaving in the forest as she dances her way thru the flowers.

If you would like to catch this amazing image head on over to The Stamping Chef store and pick her up. Remember over the weekend she is 20% off. But after Sunday she will go back to normal price.

Nursery Decor with Glue Dots®

I have not figured out how to take a picture with glass yet.

So the top picture is with the glass.

Lower without the glass.

 

 

This is such a easy project. I used a frame I bought at a garage sale.

Took the mat out and added the paper with 1" Glue Lines®.

 

I added a sweet little dress that I had sketched out a while ago and colored it with

Distress Markers-Tim Holtz.

 

It was so sweet I thought I would frame it.

So easy!

Want the full scoop and instruction?

Head over to Glue Dots® and get them!

Thanks for stopping by!

July Tag Challenge

So here we are in July and this is my July tag for Tim Holtz's 12 tags challenge.


Tim's challenge this month started with this................................

we want to take this moment to acknowledge the fallen Prescott firefighters “the granite mountain hot shots” in the recent tragedy.  our thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families for this very sad loss – we are forever thankful for their service…

So with that being said here is how I chose to honor the firefighters.

I used the same technique as Tim with the brayer and my background stamp I used the USA stamp from "mini blueprints 2". I also used the birds from "mini ornates", I felt it represented the fallen firefighters.

Then I chose to add words that I felt represented the firefighters. So I used Tim's rub ons and used words like courage, fearless, brave...................

Instead of using the charm Tim used, I change it to a tag label charm. This was so I could incorporate the word courage. I also used a rub on for this.

On my ribbon I added the words "thank you" and stained the ribbon the same way Tim did.

Added the 4 from Tim's mini numerals and added 3 metal stars at the bottom.

(started with the word fearless, but thought courage was better)

this is the set where USA and Flag came from

(love it, won, and gave it away)

Hope you enjoyed July's tag..............................I DID!
