Hope you enjoy the video on the wax paper transfer technique, I'm still learning and experimenting so have a lenient heart while watching :)

my version of the August 2013 TH tag as a 6 x 12" wall hanging:

I was able to use a masking technique using post it notes to cover my image. I used the same techniques as TH did for the background ( it happens to be the way I do all my almost all of my backgrounds so that worked out easily enough. )

It's time for our new challenge over at Try it on Tuesday

I made this little altered art doll back in September and have been trying to work her into a project ever since.  So, when TIOT announced the Time Flies challenge, I took her back out and lovingly thought I would like to incorporate her somehow into a project.

Now advance to the other day when I did a big desk clean up and rearranged some things around which meant I ended up with this unadorned box in my view. Now normally I can live with cheap plain boxes that I use for storage, I mean, their free, right?

But when it's on my desk, and I have to look at it ....well, that's another story!

 

So the 2 combined to be this:

 

I wrapped the Flashing Tape around the box, used a quilting wheel to add the debossed dots, laid a strip of Joint compound tape to the front, used a glue dot to fix the flower to the front. I stamped wings and heat embossed them on the same pattern paper that I used to line the inside, and my hot glue gun to adhere the ribbon and her. Printed out the sentiment, matted and outline it and then glued it on.

I think it looks so much better now on my desk, it makes me smile whenever I look at it.

And that makes me happy.

 

 

Really Reasonable Ribbon

metal flashing tape, joint compound tape
