Some Challenges

I was in the mood to join in some more challenges today.

I have seen this challenge, [literally for years], and never played in it [gasp!]; Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015.

While mine doesn't even come close to Tim's awesome tag, I still like mine.  I used the Sizzix 16 dies Friendship Words Thinlits for my textured words.  Kind of hard to see I know...

I added some hardware I had in my stash -- it just goes with a "Tim Type Tag", right?

I also went on to play in a fairly new to me challenge; TGIF3.  This challenge lists products to use "only".  I used everything, except the stamp set.  I didn't have that one.  That said, I probably don't even qualify for the challenge, but it was fun seeing what I could create using the listed products.

On the other hand, it does qualify for A2Z Scrapbooking; texture, and, also qualifies for the SIP Challenge 8; anything I like ;).  I used my favorite Hero Arts Antique Flowers and Butterflies, along with a new set, Happy Stamp & Cut.

Thanks challenges -- it was fun!


Thanks for stopping by~

Your tag is absolutely amazing, Vicki!!! The colours are fantastic and I LOVE those metal embellishments!!! Really stunning!!!
I love your combination of colours and patterns on the card!!! I would never have guessed that the green embossed panel and those flowers would go together so well on a card!!! The silver strip and the lace really do the trick to have everything work so perfectly to make a beautiful card!!!! Love it!!!
