Good Morning hope your all well,and those of you living up there in Scotland do hope your safe and haven't had much damaged caused to property from those high gales.Would love some snow mind.

Well i managed to finish my tag last night after avery stressful time yesterday.But shall go into that another day.Then i did get abig surprise that cheeered me up know end my winning Candy arrived from the Craft Barn thanks to everyone there still looking through the box!

I managed to get Tim's day 8 tag done isnt time flying buy only few tags left.

So my tag 8,you can check out the techniques used Here on Tims Blog

You will see i have improvised by using a Metal wording charm Joy.Also the men i have used different ones. Wow who would have thought Steampunk and christmas would go together.I certainly wouldnt have put them together before this.So Tim's Tag has inspired me to go out of my comfort zone!

I would like to enter this into Simon Says Stamp & Show .This week is show some element of Time.

Thursday Tim'S Tags 6 &7

Well im hoping this is uploading as it was planned to uploade wednesday @12.01am.So second time lucky and thought i nay as wekk add wednesday tag 7 also .Have to say this technique and tag is mt fav.So all inspiration taken from Tims tag found HERE

This is my creation from the inspiration of his tag everything is the same except:

holly ,i used my gassilin papers for the greenery die cut ,i aded oddments of grunge board and made twigs as i havent got that die.I have alos added reindeer charm to center of the hollyarrangemnet.The sentiment is stampin up this years christmas release.

Here done smae technique to Tim but also used on edges of grenery and twigs.

I think this has to be my favup to know dajarvo maybe do i say this everytime a createatag...this i adore.Hope you do to.

Tag 7

this tag i used all the same techniques as Tim but hadnt got that embossing folder everyone but that.So i used my large crimbo tree and used the dabbers in blue pink,&white.
Every thing else was same can be found HERE

I have used the craft tag,but havent used embossing file or Tim's stamps.I have used various stamps from Chriatmas sets of Stampin Up!The colours ive used are :Festive Berries,

Pine Needles,Gathered Twigs,and Archival inks Black and Plum.The holly ive fixed to gether with floristry wire ad have added glamour dust to the edges to look like snow.

Tag 2 Day 2 Tim Holtz's 12 Tags For Christmas

Tim's Tag

My Creation Tag 2 Day 2

Good Morning Friday on this cold frosty -3 day in Norfolk ...brrhhh.

Anyways striaght onto tag 2 today and well Mr T has done it again and inspired us to take up the challenge.I think this is my 4th year and every year i loveee the challenge.So now for tag 2 go take alook HERE
The only difference between items Tim's used and mine are:
I have used Kraft Paper on the tag.Stamped 2 images both from stampin up stamps black ink.Plus the reindeer is grundge board this years seasonal alphas and digiys,Elements.I have then stuck canvass paper onto the reindeer exactly as his.Except i have added the distress ink Gethered Twigs to the reindeers antlers.I Have added also a grundge button distressed in green with red fibers which is extra to his .The rest of the items i have used are the same as Tim Holtz's tag.
Bar the die cut i just cut grunge board myself into apattern.
So there you go hope you like the inspiration ive taken from tims tag to make it my own.So you see you can improvise you dont need everything.As ive not got all the new dies or edge days but there's way round that!
Well i honestly didnt think id get this started never mind finished.As yesterday once is uploaded my first tag all hell let looose.My daughter was threatedned at school had to go all the way over there 12 miles her school is from home.Then wed just got home my dad rings to let me know mum was rushed into resus at home whihc is up north.So all in all im hoping im going to have aless stressful day but wont hold my breath.
I hopefully al;l beingwell see you back tomorrow,maybe awee bit later as have to pop out in the morning .But it will be completed come rain or shine neer missed one yet..lol
Have great weekend keep warm & safe

Funkie Junkie 12 Tags For Christmas Tag 12!!

Well by george ive done it!!!Yep can you tell im pleased with myself...lol. The 12 Tags for Christmas that Linda was doing over at the Funkie Junkie.Well i have completed the last one this afternoon and so chuffed!
I've taken my inspiration from Linda's colour scheme keeping it gold/cream.I distressed the tag first of with frayed burlap &antique linen,Then i stamped faintly the beautiful image from one of my La Blanche stamps.I used Tim Holtz die tag,Birdgcage and the new christmas festive greenery die,rossettes die.I embopssed the birdcage with stampin up gold embossing powder .Added some cream vintage lace ,and found these beautiful string pearls.Added to the bottom and also to the center of the rossette. Used kaiser craft pearls for the mistletoe.I then got the t/holtz ticket die and distressed using same colours as the main tag,and embossed using the gold.The stamp is from stampin up also.The pin i made some time ago from odd beads i had collected.To finish it off sprayed the tag all over with perfect pearls "Biscotti"to c reate the dazzle bling effect.

The only trouble i had was trying to take a decent photo so dark and the gold kept coming up drab.so had to stand by my french doors in the end in my craftroom to get half decent piccy.
Thats me finished until i hope Linda does it again next year,hopefully more people will get to know and join in.So what now you ask well i am all armed ready for Sir Timmie tomorrow for the start of his 12 tags for christmas so do pop by .Can't say my tags will be as good a creation as his ,but worth alaugh..lol
Have good evening

Well i can't believe how fast time is going and we are nearly there yes 1 more day until Tim's 12 tags are you ready?Well i thought today after finishing a tag Which you can see Here,I would cut my tags and some die cuts at the ready .So thats whats on my desk this week.Along with the beautiful tag i received from Hels which i won from the Artistic stamper Blog.It is absolutely stunning thanks Hels even more so in the flesh,and just to say over the moon with your good news can't wait to see you on the 6th!!Congrats girl you so deserve it!

So are you all getting into the festive season?We sure are or the girlies are anyway.Yes we are going up to Elveden Forest on Sunday to pick our tree and get the huge new foundland dogs to bring it back to the car.They do this every year for charity they have wee cart and pull the cart and tree to your car .I will get some piccies and post next week to show you.Ive just got 3 prezzies to go,& the rest bought wrapped and ready for delivery.Hidden away,now i just have to write my crimbo cards thats chore in it self you spend time making them then you have to write em...lol.Mind i did nearly faint when i went to post office to buy stamps .Some of my cards due to content on the front will go Large letter boy is that not cheap .So next year might just be plain simple,less is more so to speak!

Well ive been naughty and spending just alittle.I treated myself this week to the lovely Tim Holtz Trinket case .So excited when it arrived the next day that im still filling it.But was disappointed that i couldnt fit the wee bird cages into it.They are too high even on bottom shelf.Apart from that it holds loads and so neat.but still have loads left over so will still keep my wee chest i made.See charms ,trinkets are my downfall !Just now leaving big hints for the bigger case to hold my stains and D/inks.....im hoping ..lol.Well i shall clear up my desk before retiring to bed....
Anyways i shall pop round to see you all again this week when i return from the trip to drs.Have fab wednesday and well see you all at Tim's blog for the 12 tags of christmas can't wait how many sleeps..lol worse than the kids and santa!
