Tim Holtz 12 days of Christmas tags - day one

Hi all,bet you thought i had disappered...lol but been too busy to blog.Have joined the tag challenge hosted by sue aka playingwithpaperover at Docrafts to recreate the Tim Holtz 12 days of Christmas tags and this is my attempt at day one. You can find the original challenge over at Tim's blog. I have tweaked mine slightly to allow for materials etc and i got really messy but had great fun. My list of ingrediants for this tag are
Tim Holtz tag die and rickety house die and a sizzex fence die
brushed courduroy,walnut stain,old paper,barn door, faded jeans and tumbled glass distress inks
grunge paper,snow cap dabber, glamour dust (which is my new addiction), mini mister and perfect pearls,snowflake stamp,star brad,wreath topper,cottonwool bud,ticket which you can get here at the lovely lisa's blog.
First i diecut my house and then used brushed courduroy and walnut stain on house,added snowcap dabber and glamour dust,used my secret ingrediant for the glass(quality street wrappers) and added a wreath topper,diecut tag and then stamped blue ink pads onto my mats and added some perfect pearls mixed in water and dried,repeated this 3 times and then stamped snowflakes using faded jeans distress ink.added my star brad and glued house to tag and added smoke and ticket,diecut fence and added snow by using the snowcap dabber and glamour dust and then glued into place.

Sorry that was such a long post and i hope you have stayed to the end,see you tomorrow

Craft day projects

Well had another fab day crafting with some lovely ladies i have met via docrafts and these are the end results,my fave is the chocolate box and the hardest thing to make was the pinflair bauble as we all had sore thumbs at the end....lol.

Have to say though that the template needed a little tweaking so use with caution or maybe it was just me....lol
You can find the tutorial for the box here along with the tutorial for the
christmas decoration and there are loads of other fab tutorials for you to have a go at.
The pinflair bauble was a birthday gift and lucky enough there was enough for us all to have one each,boy were they cursing me....lol

Also made this notebook holder which will be going to my mum,used acrylic paints to create a background colour,stamped leaves up the side and added pencil and note book.

thanks for taking the time to visit my blog,off to check some out now whilst i wait for the repair man,x

Date book

Well this was going to be a long post but after several attempts at loading have given up......lol

made this following instructions in the new craft stamper mag and had to tweak slightly as didnt have the right stuff,including making my circles with a jar!

It took me 5 hours with several mishaps on the way but i am blaming my cold which is getting very annoying now!

But i wll be making another one,once i have got the right items as it makes things so much simpler.

This is one of the mages inside,didnt have the right punch for the tabs so used my nesties instead

used my bind it all to finish off and that was another story too.....lol

well thanks for looking and reading this,hope you feel inspired to have a go too,x
