Steampunk #2 and a Sneak peek and Three Muses

As promised here's another little Steampunk ATC. If you see in the background theres a little sneak peek of a partial image of a Paris balloon from a new plate being released next week from I Brake For Stamps. I am so enjoying playing with this new style of art. Start saving all those old watch parts ladies! This also fits in with the The Three Muses challenge using Something Old Something New.

Playing with Steampunk!!! Queen Bee ATC

Well I just had to give it a try. Its all the rage right now. I'm having a blast playing with Steampunk. For those of you who don't know what Steampunk is. Its kind of a cross between Victorian meets modern mechanical. I have so much to share with you soon. I've been doing some Steampunk jewelry, ATC's and some Steampunk Birds in the near future. Its pretty cool. I'll just give you a little taste of whats to come with my Steampunk Queen Bee ATC. What do you think?

Tag Tuesday- Shapes

Do I Smell Gingerbread? That's my name for the tag for the challenge at Kard Krazy this week. The challenge was to make a shaped tag. I cut some cs in the Gingerbread shape. Embossed it with EP, added rickrack and some fun embellishment's.I might just leave this for Santa!! LOL. Thanks Louise for another fun Challenge. I hope everyone is ready for the big day.
Happy Holidays!

Gothic Arches

I had a little time this evening to make an ATC for the new challenge at Gothic Arches. Its open this week. So I used the Statue collage image from Kelly's new sheet at collagevisions. The arch background is from Graphics 45.

Spoon pendants

Earlier in the week the local stamp club I get together with had our Christmas party. The project we did was spoon pendants. Since I hosted the project I didn't get a chance to play. So yesterday I went to work making a few new pieces. They really are fun. If your interested in learning how you can check the archives at Gingersnap Creations. I did a tutorial a while back that still on file.







The following are just a few of the pieces the Diva's did at our party. I think they did a great job. It was alot of fun!






Here's a picture of the ladies hard at work!
