Pink Ribbon

October is Pink Ribbon month:

Breast Cancer awareness,

but there are so many other deseases

that need attention and cures,

so Paulette from Create with TLC

made a very clever digital image

that you can use with other 

colors of ribbons.

Below you see all kinds of colored

ribbons and the desease that goes with it,

is written underneath to give

you more ideas of the use of the 

sentiment. You find the sentiment

on the Create with TLC Blog.

I found an irisfolding template online:

http://irisfolding.blogspot.mx/2009/09/free-iris-folding-patterns.html

and thought this was great to use for 

my card, for you can also fold the ribbon

in any color you like.I used some plain pink and 

glitter pink paper.

Here is the template,

but know this is not mine but

from Melissa.If you like irisfolding

take another look on her blog for

 she has more free templates there.

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap Page: Dress Red Day

For today's page I used Club Scrap's Wings kit

to create this page. The photo's and the papers

blend perfect together.

The theme this week is excercise/ activity

and i think the page fits the theme perfectly.

On September 29 it was Dress Day:

a day to dress in something red for the

good cause of the heart foundation.

So,this Sunday all of us went to the gym

,wearing something red

and enjoyed a wonderful program of

excersise outside on the gass in the

sun and afterwards we had some great low

calorie snacks and drinks.

The hearts on the page are by Michael Strong

and embossed with white embossing powder.

It was a great day and hopefully we do this again.

Have a great day!

Creative Chemistry 102: teachings by Tim Holtz: Day 5

Day 5 on Creative Chemistry 102 lessons

by Tim Holtz are all about embossing effects.

This tag is using the rusting with distress

powder and because on Saturday I always

make something for my Michael Strong Yahoogroup

I used Michael Strong stamps:

Texturizing set

and the mini cloisonné star

The bottle is a die cut

with a TH Sizzix die.

I lsoused some TH word stickers

and a mini SU! alphabet stamp set.

For the background and the ink bottle

I used walnut distress embossing powder

and for the stars I used the 

fired brick embossing powder.

The label on the in bottle is with the die.

I just drew the red border with a 

thin marker and added some red ink around it.

Tim's teachings make your

creativety flow fully and allthough

I want to try all the techniques,

they just have to wait until I am back

from the Club Scrap Retreat.

Have a creative day!

Creative Chemistry 102: teachings by Tim Holtz: Day 4

Day 4 is all about different

ways of using your alcohol inks

with Tim Holtz 

and his Creative 

Chemistry teachings.

I used the "ombre technique" for this 

tag full of Jewish symbols.

The stamps are from various brands

to wish you all

Shabbat shalom!

Have a creative day!

Creative Chemistry 102: teachings by Tim Holtz: Day 3

Day 3 is about: Distressing Differently.

For today i choose to do the 

"Smudge Stamping" technique.

Did you sign up? It is absolutely

fantastic to see all the video's,

learning new techniques and seeing 

everyone elses artwork.

If you are interrested:

 all about the class can be found here:

http://onlinecardclasses.com/thcc102/class-info/

When you do this technique you wind up with making two

cards or two tags like I did.

So what is the story behind this tag?

The tag is all about my trip next week.

Yes,USA I am coming.

The bags are being packed,

the ticket is there

and  my friends are waiting.

Just a few more days

and I will see you all again!

Club Scrap here I come!!

Have a creative day!

Creative Chemistry 102: teachings by Tim Holtz: Day 2

Day two of Creative Chemistry is all

about stencils! And I do have some....

And now I learn more ways of using them.

I cannot resist getting my Club Scrap

coffee stencil out and see how it looks

with Tim Holtz's techniques.

I combined embossing on a tag

and embossing wih colorcore cardstock.

On top you see the stencil I used on the

tag for the first technique and the background

on the tag.

Here the second layer of colorcore paper

and this is the finished tag with

the Club scrap spoon stamp

and the Michael Strong coffee cup.

The "cup of inspiration" is

partly stamped and a TH sticker.

I decided to do one tag each day

and later on tryng all 

other techniques,for I just don't have

 enough time. I love seeing all the

video's and the samples are awesome.

Have a creative day!

Creative Chemistry 102: teachings by Tim Holtz: Day 1

Tim Holtz has started another serie

of his great online teachings:

Creative Chemistry 102

This way you are leaning a lot about

his products and what you can do with them.

Each day lots of information,

video tutorials and download sheets

about all the info you get.

All for only $ 25,-

And if you don't have all the time of the

world to do these lessons, ou have lifetime 

access and can do it in your own time (like me!).

It is already day 2 but I only started on one

tag of day 1 and still have to finish it.

I love everythin I see, just have so many other

things to do at this moment.

This first tag is done in a technique called:

Distress Paint Marbling

and with the paints I have I made this tag.

Fun and easy technique and absolutely

makes great backgrounds.

Now to finish this tag....

tomorrow! I have to do a little

thinking of what and how...

next day:

Here is my finished tag:

I wanted to do the chemist stamp,but up until

now it was sold out...so the time traveler

came in his place. The words are

from the sticker sheets and the

numbers are fromone of the long alphabet

dies that you roll through your bigshot.

I colored lightly with a few distress markers.

Thanks Tim for all the wonderful new

techniques that I will learn at a

slower pace then you are sharing.

Have a creative day!
