Day 1 : 12 Tags of Christmas

Day 1: The Rickety ole House

Here's is my take on Tim Holtz's Day 1 of the

12 Tags of Christmas.

It took me a while to complete this

one, adding a little here and a little there.

Improvising along the way 

the things I didn't have and 

adjusting the things I did.

My greatest hurdle was the snow.

I have no bottled snow.

Then I remembered Penny Duncan

gave recipes for fluff and made it 

out of styrofoam.

Lucky I had the styrofoam,  rubbed it together

and the snow started falling.

I glued it on using the Glossy accents and 

if I was quicker in the head 

I would have used Stickles

and it would have sparkled some.

I did add some sparkle to the whole card with my 

Marshmallow glimmer Mist.

Double Distress - Challenge # 23

Challenge # 23 - DOUBLE DISTRESS

Got to get my MOJO back, 

took a break for a whole month

and I hope to reclaim the muse 

starting off with a Christmas Tag for the 

Compendium of Curiosites Challenge # 23,

Double Distress, found on page 40 of the book,

and the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge, 

A TAG.

My Double Distress was done using the

Woodgrain Texture Fades embossing Folder. 

I also used the Sheet Music folder on the deer.

The tag was cut using the Alterations

Tag and Bookplate Die from a 

regular old file folder.

I've had this done for a couple of days now 

and wanted to get it up before I 

crash head long into making 

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 

Christmas, 

of which I am 2 days behind.

I hope to catch up this weekend.
