CCC #012: October 2013 Tags Challenge - Monograms

Hey All!
Its tag time again!

I know I've been slow posting this past month, but I'm back baby!
I will have more posts coming up with my December Daily sneaks and some of the crop layouts from last weekend.

Back to the tags...
www.catherineandcathycreate.com are having the theme of this months tag challenge as monograms. It's open to interpretation, so I went for the numbers versus single letter.

I'm all caught up on my new Who, but not the classic episodes yet.
That doesn't mean I am not super excited for the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who in November, because I am, I cannot wait for all that multi-doctor goodness.
I'm a sad sack Rose fan too! :P
So I wanted to have a Who tag.

I love this stamp.
I have seen them turned into a TARDIS before and wanted to make some of my own.

I stamped on watercolour paper with black Staz-on and coloured with Midnight Muse inks and black pens to change from phone booth to TARDIS. Once dry I coated with some Crystal Effects, and set aside to dry again. After dried again, I added the white details with a white pen.
Then I made 3 more since they were awesome!!!
Keep an eye out on future projects ;)

I used a top note die for my base, watercolour paper and inks to create the galaxy, layer of dazzling derails, with a splash of random gold embossing powder.

 Now all that's left is to wait for November.

Don't forget to stop by www.catherineandcathycreate.com to join the challenges!
Enjoy!

CCC#010: Oct 2013 challange, Orange & Black

Fang-tastic stampset, doilie, Chalk Talk framelits, and Tag it accessories set. A dab of inks with aqua painters, top it off with some Dazzling Details and Boo-tiful card!

And yet again D is calling his momma's jokes lame!

I normally only make treat bag tags for school, but this was too cute not to. 

My card is featured on Catherine and Cathy Create's monthly challenge post today with my fellow Design Team members. Be sure to create your own projects for the challenge this month and link up at www.catherineandcathycreate.com

Enjoy!

Packing up!

You heard me! 

I'm packing up my scrappy stuff and going on a road trip!

Well, not all my scrappy stuff. 

WHAT AM I GOING TO BRING?!?!???!!

Hard decisions. I like in my house, working in any room I know my stash of ink, paper, and embellies are right down the stairs if I need them. 

I also feel like packing for crops falls in the same magical place as the tomorrows that will be super productive. It's also the time to think I will finally use that 10 year old sheet of paper. 

I've prepared 15ish page kits with a simple sketch of my plans, and a few mini projects. And enough supplies to create multitudes. 

I hope to be immensely creative while I'm away.

But even more so, I am excited about having a total blast with some fantastic ladies! 

Enjoy!

December Daily, whoa slow down!

*sorry if this posted multiple times!*

I'm not good at this type of book

I like to have my pictures first.

 I've made year in reviews, and sadly, still empty. 

I have a Tim Holtz Christmas mini organizer binder, still empty. 

This is the year I make a December Daily Album AND use it. 

I've said it out loud in blog land. 

Now I have to be accountable to the very few who read my blog.

I'm already biting my nails. 

So far I've cut my pages and put together the basic covers. 

Keep me on my toes people!

Enjoy! 

CCC September Tags Challenge: #009 Sparkle, Baby

Glitter. 

 

I love glitter.

 

 Barely a day goes by where my family is not sparkly as they leave the door. 

B doesn't notice. 

 

Hubby and son however are not as keen about the prospect of stray glitter landing on their eyelids, or any other part of their body/belongings.

 

Stampin' Up Glittered paper is the way to go. The paper is already glittered, no chance if missing the tube as you return the excess from pouring on.  

Or the ensuing puff cloud of glitter as one flicks the paper. 

Trust me, pre-glittered paper is one way to make the men in your life happy, lol!

 

For my tag at Catherine and Cathy Create this month I used the Tag A Bag accessory tag, Chalk talk framelits (I LOVE this die set), and hexagon punch. Christmas is coming and I like to be ready early.

I work on Christmas all year long. 

 

Did you know about the prize this month at www.catherineandcathycreate.com? 

Yeppers, there is one for a lucky challenge entry!

 So head on over, complete one or all of the challenges and link up!
