Pocket Watches - Again!

Last year I made some Tim Holtz pocket watch Christmas ornaments.  I loved them so much, I had to start again this year....

 I used TH and Graphic 45 paper with TH embellishments and some charms and pieces of ribbon from my stash.

Christmas in July

For the first time EVER I have made something for Christmas in July.... Usually it's November or so.  Of course, the fact that I'm now not working has a lot to do with it!  I used a Kaisercraft advent calendar box.  The center paper is Graphic 45's Christmas pad from last year; I also popped up part of the picture to give it dimension.  The remaining paper is a little of this and a little of that.  I used Tim Holtz stain and stickles for coloring the dates.  These are soooo much fun to make.  I want to try a blue, silver and white one next - love those colors for Christmas.

G45 Travelogue Frame

I found this really cute frame in the clearance section of Hobby Lobby. 

I decided to use Graphic 45's Travelogue paper and cute little embellishments - I love the colors in the paper.  I used Ranger's white paint dabber to soft up the gold and give it a more vintage look.  It is hanging in our guest bathroom and I love it's uniqueness.

FATHER'S DAY!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.... I made a card and an explosion box adorned with Tim goodies and Tim and Graphic 45 paper to hold my husband's Father's Day present. I love this combo - they just seem to go together. I got the G45 when I was back east visting my buddy, Denni. From Cape Cod to California for a card and box!

Christmas Cards

Finally, I've been able to start on my Christmas cards.  Well, I only have one done, but that's a start, right?

I used the wonderful Graphic 45 Christmas Past paper for the front of the card.  I kept it fairly simple because the paper is so pretty.  I made the rosette and it has a button in the middle of it.
