Wherever you are

Today is (try to) get ahead day!

I leave for vacation on Saturday, and realized about a week ago that I've got a number of posts that should be going up while I'm out of town!

So I've been working like a madwoman all morning!

What do I have to show for it? 

Three design team posts and this fabulous gem of a card!

Yep, this one was just for fun!

You see, I got this awesome background stamp at michaels, 

It's a hero arts stamp, and I just had to play along with the Rainbow

Challenge at A Blog Named Hero!

Sooooooo I created this beauty!

And, it will be off in the mail this afternoon.

Headed to sunny California to cheer my cousin who is

Indeed on the adventure of a lifetime! 

Here's another quick lookie

Don't you just adore those big gems from lawn fawn?!?

Me tooooo!

12 Tags of 2013: June

I know that I've missed a month here and there, but this months tag

just spoke to me, so last night I followed along with Tim's step by step tutorial,

here, and I whipped up this bad boy!

I splurged and got my very first distress paint dabber!

I gotta tell you guys... it's really cool!

And super vibrant!

 

I'm off to the studio for some more creative time! 

Hope to have another post later!

More uses for Aluminum Tape

Ok, Ok, I know you're probably sick of seeing projects with Aluminum tape,

But I'm not the only one!  The Great and Mighty Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2012 September Tag

Is using this fab product.....  Well not this exact fab product, but the Ranger equivelent

So for me, I used some of his techniques on these pretty cards I made for a swap

The challenge over at Dilly Beans Challenge is to use black and white + 1

As I had to make multiple cards, I decided to make the same card in different colors.

The image is Wired Robot Framed and can be found here

How about some close ups??

Blue

Yellow

Green

Pink

I added the googlie eyes and a little glitter around the Hello but otherwise I kept it pretty

simple.  If you wanna know how to do the technique on the aluminum tape (sorry the pics don't do it justice)

Head on over to http://timholtz.com and he'll walk you through it!

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
