Drunken Stampers - Challenge #60- All About Him


  Over at Drunken Stampers they are asking for us to show some manly creativity and this is what I have come up with. There are not to many guys who don't enjoy a beer or two. I used Innovative Stamp creations "By the bay" and Stampin Up "wish Big" stamps on a advertisement and embossed in black. The mug of beer is cut from same advertisement. I found the bottle cap somewhere. I used distress inks misted with water for the background.


Thank you for looking. Cheers!

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of Christmas 2008 #1


  A new year and a new set of Tim's tags. Here is #1 for 2008 where the agenda is masking. I got a little bit carried away with my Distress-it-all for the edges. I like the vintage feel of this tag. Kathy has a link set up at "Inkin it Up" so it is easy to join in the fun.

 When I saw what this  GC Challenge was about, it prompted me to finish this little altered box I was making for a friend. It used to be wood and aluminum. I was definitely in play mode so I can't tell you how I made it but I can say what I used ; alcohol inks -stream, rust, pesto, copper / pearl ex powders- super bronze and copper sparkle / Perfect Paper adhesive - TH -music stamp/ grid stamp by Saltspring Stamp Co./ The quote is a daisyd's overlay,  Sookwang sheet and Glitter Ritz Crystal Clear and Bronze (top) The inside paper is from Stampington, Bliss is from SU and the image is from Itkupilli. I also used copper foil tape and a Krylon Copper pen.  
I am also going to enter this in the Simon Says Stamp and Show. The word being "dance". And now I have a BIG mess to clean up. Have a great day!

Gingersnap Creations: GC94: Spicy Supply - Office Supplies



Here is my entry for The Spicy Supply Challenge at Gingersnap Creations. I think you will be seeing me use my Artful Dwellings Die quite often for the next while. I have used TH crowded attic paper, tissue tape and distress inks  to create my home office. The photo color is showing much lighter than the actual piece. 


Thank you for looking!
