Putting some Creative Chemistry on my LO!

After taking Tim's Creative Chemistry 102 class I really wanted to take some of the techniques onto my Scrapbook pages. So here is a LO that uses several of them- including Mixed Media layering,Stencil sketching,Stencil Stamping,Paint monoprint,Shabby Chic-I think that's it! You can take Tim's class here You have to take Creative Chemistry 101 to be able to take Creative Chemistry 102...both fabulous classes! I also used a tag that you may have seen before that I did technique on the ornate plate ( the blue tag) that I made up taking a Tim technique and a Tammy Tutterow technique and marrying the two called distress paint enamelware...you can find the tutorial for that here I also wanted to add a second little tag so I followed some of Tammy's inspiration found on this post for the little tag It's a pretty Timmy heavy LO ,as a matter of fact everything on this LO is Tim related except for the Kerri Bradford cutting file on DCWV paper and Hero arts Alpha stamps, a punch,some bling, 3 flowers and a piece fibre and a charm! I've used several of his stamps- adverts, simple sayings, wallpaper and wood, mini blueprints 2, love struck. Also several of his layered stencils, Distress paint, distress inks, distress stains, Distress embossing powders and Ranger Archival and ranger enamelware embossing powder Thanks for taking a peek!!

A Layout with some older pics....

Here are some pictures that I had that needed some scapping (I get guilty if I only scrap the new stuff so I go back and fill in my gaps in my albums.) These are just a day at the park one day. It's a scrapbook generation sketch Thanks for looking!

Tim's Twelve tags of 2013 - November

Well this month I am right on top of Tim's tag! Just so happens I was playing around days before with Blueprint Christmas cards so I was already in the Chalkboard mode still inspired from Tim's Creative Chemistry 102 class. The only thing I had left to do was to finish chalking up my sentiment and adhere them onto my cards. So I went ahead and did Tim's tag and here that is I had fun with it too! This really is the most realistic chalk technique out there!! Okay then I went to finishing my cards so I could post them with...I chalked the sentiments and decided that I liked Tim's Pumice stone ones so much that I changed my mind and went with them... only I used a colored outline. Here they are... I put these on Red CS so the white card would show....so it's a white card with Red and Green Mats (and this is a Mowed Lawn or true green, it's looking limey on my comp. but it's not it's green) and then the chalkboard piece. I didn't have Tim's Stamp and die sets so I had to fussy cut them....I am so glad that I had the Frosted Crystal embossing powder from Creative Chemistry 102..and by the way...if you haven't taken Tim's class yet....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? :D Go! you'll be glad you did! TFL! Have a great day!
