Holiday Tag Swap

There is a holiday tag swap going on over at Boston Area Scrap Fanatics that I am in. The work that these ladies do is incredible, so I am very much looking forward to seeing what they create. I decided to do mine in Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas style.

Each one will have some slight variations, but this is basically it. I cut the tag with the Cameo from glossy paper and used alcohol inks and glimmer mist to color it. I had the stamp in my stash and used Stazon to stamp it. The small glass tag is a Tim Holtz acrylic fragment with a G45 image attached to the back with Glossy Accents. The micro beads are also held on with Glossy Accents. The snowflake is Maya Road chipboard painted with acrylic paint and then I used a glitter snow pen on top of it when it dried. The brad is Basic Grey, I think. The fibers are also Basic Grey; the crinkly ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam; the little ornament was from the Christmas section at ACM. I hope everyone will like them!

Halloween Mini Altered Board Book

It's that time of year again!! I LOVE Halloween!! I have ever since I was a little kid. So, when the gals over at Boston Scrap Fanatics decided to do a Halloween mini swap, I was totally in. We each got paired up with another person. I know the person that I got loves vintage things, so I HAD to get the Graphic 45 Happy Haunting 8x8 stack and chipboard embellies for this project, even though I have a TON of Halloween stuff already. Just ask Laurie. We kind of went on a Halloween binge a couple of years ago and split the haul. Hee hee.

I started out with a plain white board book, like this one, but mine has 14 pages including the covers. I did mix in some other papers from my stash with the G45 papers. I tried to put some kind of interactive element on each page. I drew a lot of inspiration from the Halloween mini that I got from our friend Rhonda over at Scrap Happens. I need to take pictures of the album that she sent me, too - it is awesome!

This whole album took me a couple of weeks to complete because I could only work on it here and there. I hope my swap buddy likes it as much as I like creating it!
