It has been a long time since I have posted. Though I have not posted for a while, the love of crafting has continued. No challenges, no design teams for now. Just the love of stamping. I thought perhaps it is time I start sharing some projects with you. 

I have a new-found love of all things Tim Holtz. I love the techniques, the stamps, the flowers. I had the idea to have a couple kitties hiding in the planter with this adorable goofy dog looking for them. 

Here is a close-up of the kitties. 

I hope you have a great day!

Christmas Tag - Tim Holtz Style

Happy Wednesday!

Are you in the holiday spirit yet? Well, today at 7 Kids College Fund, we are sharing our holiday inspiration with you.

Seasons Silhouettes 
Festive Greenery Die 
Distress Stains (Walnut, Weathered Wood, Antique Linen)
 Distress Inks (Walnut, Peeled Paint)

I moved way out of my box for this tag. I love the look of Tim Holtz style, but am very intimidated when it comes to executing it myself. So, I challenged myself with some of the great Distress Stains, Distress Inks, and Seasons Silhouettes stamps, now available at 7 Kids College Fund.

I added snow to my Festive Greenery. Brrrr, can you feel the cold? 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! We hope you will share your holiday inspirations with us at 

7 Kids Challenge!

Dashing Santa

Howdy!

I am continuing to work on Christmas cards as Christmas is right around the corner (can you believe it?)

Today, my card features Dashing Santa Claus from Make It Crafty!

These new Steampunk Santas are so creative and fun. They work so perfectly with Tim Holtz products, giving that old-fashioned shabby look.

Unfortunately, the photography did not catch all the background colors. I used very light yellows, blues and grays to give the sleigh movement.

The Tim Holtz Pinecone Die is so versatile. I tend to make nice vintage flowers with this die.
