You'd Better Be Good....

... For Goodness Sake :O)) Is the title of Tim's 9th Tag of Christmas...I didn't get chance to make this yesterday...because...Grim and I went to see New Moon!!! Oh WOW!! What a FAB film, if you haven't seen it yet, you must...it is official...I am in lurve with Edward...thing is...he is young enough to be my son ROFL **dirty girl**




Anyway, back to the tag before I bring on a hot flush...the details on how to make are on Tim's Blog...when I first saw this tag I did think that I wouldn't be able to do any of it...until I read Tim's how to and realised he had been really kind and enabled us to save the images he used for us to print...which is what I did...all by myself...without having to say ... "Griiiim, please can you...." So I was rather chuffty tuffty with myself about that. I made the tag this morning..and am eagerly anticipating Day 10. I am lucky, I have most of the Idea-ology so that isn't an issue..but the photo corners gave me a bit of a headache ... til I remember that my QuicKutz handtool came with a die that was a photo corner! I am seriously hoping Tim doesn't use any more Dymo...I have run out of black...otherwise it means I have to go into town and I reallllly cannot bear the thought of facing the throngs of Christmas shoppers LOL

Thanks for looking and have a FAB day

Stars In Her Eyes...

...Hey bloggers I am home :O)) Thanks ever so much for all the great comments you have left me this week...t'was lovely to read them all! I had ever such a lovely time with Andrea...we got inky and messy for a whole day on Tuesday and I made a few things...my favest was this canvas tho...totally inspired by the crafting Goddess Wendy Vecchi and using all my fave products;




The canvas is 4" square...and the last of my collection of them... I need to do some serious Googling to find more of them 'cos I love this size to work on. The canvas was painted with Traditional Tan (what else eh?) and then I used Fired Brick Distress Ink to add some colour. The background is stamped using Studio 490 stamps and separated with some ribbon and lace. I used Grungepaper to make a rose, colouring Old Paper on both sides and then stamping the Gingham stamp with Fired Brick for colour... do you notice the little chippy flower behind? This is a brill shape and I can't remember where I got it from, so if you recognise it, please tell me :O))




I used plain cardstock to stamp the head onto...I tried Grungepaper but it just didn't work...too dull believe it or not...and the specs are copied from one of Wendy's ideas, using Tim's Film Strip for the frames... I added little orange stars over her eyes for something a little bit different. The wings behind her are also chipboard but this time I know they are Maya Road mini's LOL I did add some Rock Candy Crackle to the corner of the canvas but it really doesn't show up in my naff photo's!

Thanks for looking...and thanks again for your comments!
