<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>So let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a crafting domestic goddess, who has 5 adopted children ranging in age from 12 years to 2 years, 4 boys and 1 poor stuck in the middle girl, but don't feel to sorry for her, she knows how to play the daddy's girl card quit well...lol I've been married to my wonderful and supportive husband for almost 25 years (come this September). </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>I've been paper crafting for several years, started off making cards at a local stamp camp, and have evolved since then. Since my kids are all adopted and most were adopted at an older age, I find that I do a lot of scrapbooking pages for them so when the get old they feel like they have a past. I still make cards, but really enjoy doing collages, ATC, and altering anything I can get my hands on. At this point my kids are afraid to sit still for the fear that I might break the modge podge out to use on them...lol.. I love all things vintage, grunge, steampunk and shabby chic. I'm very "shy" about my art but still try to put it out there for feedback so I can see where I can improve. So that's pretty much me in a nut shell. Thanks for sticking with me.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Now for the goodies (aka: door prize) I've decided to put up a few of the magnetic bottle caps and scrabble tile pendants that I have made.

<ol><li>First I added 2 cups of water to a measuring cap and 6 tea bags, I heated in the microwave for 3 minutes.</li>
<li>Next I added the "brewed" tea to a squirt bottle (after allowing it to cool).</li>
<li>I thoroughly sprayed my white card stock allowing it to pool and set it aside to dry. (I lost patience and got out my heat gun to speed up the process).</li>
<li>I then took the leaves out of the tea bag and spread them all over my paper, making sure to press then down onto the paper really good, and allowed it to dry for a few minutes but not completely.</li>
<li>Next I took so Modge Podge and coated my paper tea leaves and all.</li>
<li>After it was dried I cut the paper down to the standard 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 ATC size.</li>
<li>I cut out a tea pot off of the From My Kitchen cartage using my cricut (cut it at 2")</li>
<li>I used Vintage Photo distress embossing powered on the tea pot for some texture.</li>
<li>Then I took the tag from the packaging and tucked the string inside the tea pot lid.</li>
<li>I used the Tea Bag wrapper as part of the background, founded a Alice in Wonderland Tea Party scene (by search google) added it, and printed out the sentiment on my computer.</li>
<li>I then Modge Podge over then entire card to keep everything in it's place.</li>

I just recently discovered these little works of art and do believe this could be my latest addiction. ATC are like baseball cards to the art world. They are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches of pure art. I recently made my first 5 ATC for a RAK/PIF game on the yahoo group All Things Tim (Tim Holtz that is) They were so much fun to make and I hope that the 5 people that receive them enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them. Here is what they look like:<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As you can see I used mostly Tim's products and techniques to create them. Below is how I made them and what I used:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The background is made using Shabby Shutter distress ink to which I used Tim's flicking method with embossing powder; you can find the instructions for this here: <a href="http://timholtz.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/19/tag7_3.jpg">http://timholtz.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/19/tag7_3.jpg</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I then stamped the umbrella man onto grungepaper embossed him in black and then cut him out. Next, I took a sheet of music that I ripped out of a book and torn off a piece and inked the edge with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, glued it to the card using Glossy Accent. Attached the umbrella man with glossy accent, added a Memo pin with one of my favorite says (I just printed this off my computer, crumbled the paper and added vintage photo distress ink) Added a Philosophy Tag using a brad. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm really pleased with the way my first ATC came out and look forward to creating some more. Thanks for stopping by.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div align="left"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>On his tag, Tim, used his snow flurries edge die to cut a custom stamp from fun foam. I hit a little (okay BIG) snag because I didn't have any foam or Tim's edge die, so what's a girl to do?

So I proceed to rip my kitchen apart looking for one of the 756 boxes that I know I have somewhere, and couldn't find a one, so off to Walmart I went. Craft foam in hand I head down to my craft room to figure out the die problem. What I discovered is that my cricut will cut through this foam; so I used the city line (on shadow) from the Plantin School Book Cartage. Worked perfectly. I followed along with the rest of Tim's masterful instructions to complete my tag, except I replaced the Branch Tree for the Pine Tree die.

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>I must say that of all the tags I'm most pleased with the way my version of Tim's tag came out. I didn't have the Once Upon a Time die, so once again I used my Cricut to cut out letters from the Storybook cartage, also I didn't have enough coredinations paper so I took plain white card stock and then sanded it, then went over it with Black Soot Distress Ink. For the long fasteners I used Tim's fasteners that look like screw heads (I love those things). And to save my life I could not find my Tim buttons, so I pulled out my granny's box of buttons to find some suitable one (very pleased with what I found). Then came the garland, which is not in my stash but glittery piper cleaners are so that's what I used. So there you have Day 9's tag in a nutshell. Can't wait to see what Day 10 has in store. So this is my Day 9 Tag:</strong></span><br />

</strong></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Today's tag took some thinking! How was I going to do the masking technique without the mask or any blank masking sheets? I ponder this most of the afternoon and then it hit me. I used my Winter Wonderland Cricut Cartage to cut out the sleigh and reindeer. I used the negative and positive images just a Tim did on his tag, but let me tell you had I had the blank masking sheets this process would have been MUCH easier.</strong></span></div><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>I then used my Plankin School Book cartage to cut out the city in place of Tim's edge die. Side note...my Christmas list is getting longer with each tag...lol </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>I had all the hardware that Tim used on his tag for my tag which made me happy.</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>So that's it for Day 8...now on to day 9, I'm kind of sad that these days seem to be going so fast, so it will be over and then I'll have to find something else to fill my "me time" time. </strong></span><br />

Day 6's tag with the Branch Tree antlers and today with the tattered floral poinsettia. I had to slap myself in the forehead and say "now why didn't I think of those", and then I came to the realization it's because I don't have Tim Holtz's brain, that's why..lol But seriously did anyone else think of the antler trick?? Even better it was a conscious thing and not a happy accident. So like I said today is all about the tattered floral poinsettia, his tag is simple stunning (I'm going to run out of adjectives to describe his tags by the end of 12 days) This is what his tag looks like:</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">I was just tickled that Tim used this die, it's one of the few that I have. Then came the kink...no sticky back canvas or colorwash. Here is what I did have though: An old canvas apron that just happen to be white, some distress ink, perfect pearl mist, and spray adhesive. I cut the apron to size, sprayed the back of the apron and grudgepaper with adhesive (tada homemade sticky back canvas, I was pretty proud of myself for coming up with that one) and put the two together...worked great. Then I inked and inked and inked some more until I got the color I wanted then sprayed it with interference red perfect pearl mist. I did the same for the leaves, except I didn't use the tattered leaves die I used one that I had made by cuttlebug. For the rest of the tag I followed along with Tim's instructions, this is what my tag looks like:</span></strong><br />

If I just had a 10th of his creative juices, I'd be a happy lady. There was one point during his video instruction that made me question his sanity though. It was the point in which he said we can make slits in our fades for our tags can slide through. My first reaction was "You want me to do what to my texture fade"...after that momentary doubt I thought to myself well your the crafting king so okay...and proceed to slice through the seam on my texture fade. This man is just a genius. So on to today's tag it's a beaut.</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this tag there wasn't a lot of Tim products that I had (note to self: ask Santa for more Tim Holtz goodies) So here is what I did</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">For the reindeer I used my Winter Wonderland Cricut Cartage and cut the reindeer out of grudgepaper at 4 1/2". (I debated on whether to cut the antlers off and use the Branch Tree die to make them. I decided that I liked the curly antlers)</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">For the trees I used my stamp and then embossed with clear embossing powder to allow the forest green distress ink to show through.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">I used some flourishes that I had on hand.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">I used a stamp that has little teenie tiny snowflakes on it to get the splatter effect.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">I had the music note tissue tape, journal tag, and season greeting stamp.</span></strong><br />

Before I post the tags I wanted to share a little funny. My 3 year old son helped me pick up the Mr. Potato Head and when we were done he wanted his usual high 5. So I put my hands up and he went to give me a double high 5 and suddenly he stops puts his hand on his hips and in the most discussed voice says "mom" points to the kitchen sink and says "wash"...lol This is what he was seeing. I got to laughing and just about peed my pants.</strong></span><br />

I didn't have any of the Utee Ulta Thick Embrossing powder so I used just regular and applied it really thick, well I think I must have gotten it to hot because it bubbled and stayed bubbled never really smoothed out like Tim's did, but oh well, in person it looks like I painted over rusted numbers. I also didn't have the right colors of the distress embossing powder so I used distress stickles instead, which turned out to be okay. I was missing one of the leaves that he used so I put my flower on top of some leaves that I had because it just needed a little something. In the picture you really can't see the sparkly fluff either but it's there. This was the first time I used that product and I think it could become habit forming. Another thing I didn't have was the styled label so I used my cricut to cut one off of the Storybook cart. Well guess that's about it. </strong></span><br />

It's hard to tell from the picture but my branches (which are from his Letter to Santa stamp set) are embossed using a similar technique that Tim used. I didn't have the Cut N Dry Felt so I used a paint brush and distress ink to color in the branches which stayed wet long enough to allow me to emboss the image once it was stamped on the tag. I used Stampendous Music Score for my background and some flourishes that I had ( not sure who makes them). I thought the flourishes looked like the wind blowing. I didn't have any of the color that he used on his tag except the Fire Brick and Walnut Stain, so once again went with what I had.

They may on occasion need to run around naked because I have not done laundry for a week or so, but other than that I do not see any issues..lol. <br />
<br />
Well the big kick off to Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas starts tomorrow, December 1, check out his blog here <a href="http://www.timholtz.typepad.com/">http://www.timholtz.typepad.com/</a> . I'm so excited I'm about to bust at the seams since this will be the first one that I'll be participating in. Well to keep myself busy I have decided to do some (hopefully all) of the past 12 Tags starting with 2008. Below you will find my first two tags. Now I do not have all of the same products that Tim used on his tag (I don't know how I do not have everything but I don't) so I will try and explain what I did to get a similar effect that Tim did on his tag. In my sidebar you will find links to some of my favorite places to purchase my Tim Holtz goodies. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to leave me comments, criticisms, or ideas on improvements. Thanks for looking and get creating! Ink on the fingers makes the day go better!<br />

Tag 1 is from 2008 Day 1 you can find Tim's tag and instruction here <a href="http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/12_tags_of_christmas_2008/">http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/12_tags_of_christmas_2008/</a><br />

On this tag I did not have the same stamps that Tim used, so I used what I had. I also did not have the Fire Brick crackle paint so I decided to use Fire Brick Distress ink and then added crackle accent on top of that. I first stamped the Santa head and then made a mask on a post-it note and then stamped the music note for the background. <br />
<br />
Tag 2 is 2008 Day 10 here is the link <a href="http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/12_tags_of_christmas_2008/">http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/12_tags_of_christmas_2008/</a><br />

<br />
I hope that from my examples that you do not need to have everything that Tim uses on his tags to get a similar effect.Jamie Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631619152580530634noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760244066378845952.post-70222905187578053042010-11-29T13:15:00.001-06:002010-11-29T21:35:14.814-06:00Tim's Festive Bird Cage Tag<strong><span style="color: magenta;">Here is my take on Tim's tag on the Ranger website; click here to see his tag and step by step instructions </span></strong><a href="http://blog.rangerink.com/blog/2010/11/project-distress-festive-foliage-birdcage-tag.html"><strong><span style="color: magenta;">http://blog.rangerink.com/blog/2010/11/project-distress-festive-foliage-birdcage-tag.html</span></strong></a><br />
