Day 5 Tim's Tag

Well here we are at day 5 for Tim's tag. Well my rendition of it anyway, I had nothing but the inks and stickels but came up with my own. I really like this Santa stamp anyway and I made my #'s from grungepaper, I had Tim's #'s but I had already used the 2 and 5. Hope your all having fun with these tags.

Tim's tag Day 4

I hope your all staying with me and not getting to tired of seeing these tags. Well I didn't have much of what Tim used on his tag. Just the paper. So I improvised a bit. Ticket stamp from Scrolls Work. the snowflake in the fragment from Artistic Outpost and can't remember who makes the scroll. my colors came out a bit weird in the photo the blues aren't so vibrant IRL.

Day Three Tim's Tags

I have to say this is my very favorite. I Loved the birds Tim did so much I couldn't stop at just one. I did decide to change up the branch and go with the Holly stamp  from Oxford Impressions. changed the layout and changed to a book text flower. I very pleased with how this one came out.

Day 2 -Twelve Tags of Christmas

I stayed up late to wait for Tim's Twelve Tags of Christmas. Then off to work all day...Whoa I didn't know if I was going to get this done but here's my attempt at day two. None of his stamps I used were Tim's they came from  Artistic Outpost greenery from Snowy Woods and the pinecone from Oxford Impressions new Sleigh bells plate. Sorry I don't remember who makes the text stamp. not my best work but what can I say, I'm tired!

Christmas Wrapping!

This month on the Artistic Outpost Blog There's a challenge going on to use yourArtistic Outpost stamps as holiday decor, Ornaments, or Christmas projects. You can win a gift certificate worth $14.00. To give you a few ideas the DT will be showing different uses for your Holiday stamps all month. I decided A Gift box would be a fun use. These images come from the Snowy Woods plate.

I used Tim's brick texture plate for my chimmney and added some snow.

I also stamped text on the copper snowflakes but they don't show well in he photo.

12 Tags of Christmas

Well you know I wouldn't Miss out on doing Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas. But what to do? I didn't have the rickety house or the fence. So in the spirit of the Christmas season I made a little country Church from Grungepaper and embossed it with the wood texture plate. The rubber stamps are from Artistic Outpost Snowy woods plate. I did use mica in the church windows and added a little alcohol ink to resemble stained glass. I used a wooden picket fence I had in my stash. So come on ladies, You can improvise and still play along.
Theres a 12 Tags of Christmas challenges going on. Stop by  The Artistic Stamper andArtyJen to sign up!
