Hello scrappers, today I made this fun tag .

I decided to try and use a sharpie to highlight the puffy stickers, which of course they are cute on their on, but I wanted to really bring them out against the rather blah background. The technique I wanted to try was to use dictionary or newspaper, so I cut it into squares and glued them on in a random way. My question is "What am I taking for granted?"

Let me tell you something I learned. I was watching a inking video and the girl was saying how the Ranger Blending Solution gets rid of or makes the ink lighter. So for some reason this stuck in my head. When I was using the sharpie, I slipped and had a big line across the puffy sticker. So I thought why not use the blending solution. It worked! Took it off like magic. Then the swirly puffy sticker at the bottom is more fabric like, and of course I messed that up too. It took a little more work but the blending solution works for that too, Just be sure it is completely dry before using the sharpie again.

Todays technique is layering, I put lots of layering and I hope it shows up here. The question is "What is your superpower? lol I responded, basically, that I hope I gave my children the wisdom to have a great life, hence the wisdom card on the front. I tried to somehow relate the card to the back, although some people might not see it, if you read the back you can see why I did some of the things I did on the front.

Todays techinue is buttons, I dug out all these dark, silver and gold buttons that I thought I would never use to make the heart. I guess that goes to show don't throw anything out! The question is "What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?" My response was how when I when I was going through chemo last year, I was so sick one night, I woke my husband up at 3 and he went out and got me some medicine.

This weeks question is "What sparks my creativity?" and the technique is using staples. I just went crazy with the staples here, but I like the "Steampunk" kind of look I was going for. I usually don't show the back because a lot of the answers are going to be very personal, but I will this week. I took K&Co ephemera to cover up the back of the staples and in the pack I found the word "Whatever" and that amount sums up what sparks my creativity because I find inspiration every where I go. Could be on a website, could be some ones outfit, could be a photo, whatever!


I think I like the back better, after looking at the pics!

Todays question is "What do you love most about where you live?" I wrote on the back how we have nice neighbors and how we are close to everything but still has that small town feeling.
Todays techinque is Alcohol Ink Mixatives
I used the gold when I inked the background but after it was dry it looked to bright. So I put some of the pearl on some felt and dabbed it all over and it really toned it down. I tried to get a good picture of it but it really doesn't show how awesome it looks! After I took the picture I didn't like the pin so I ended up taking it out. I used the numbers 27 because that is our house number. Also used some of the gold mixative on the tree.

1-8-12 Question/Tag/Technique

This weeks tag question is "If I could do it all again, would I change anything? My technique was stamping. The stamping was kind of lame I know, but I hardly ever stamp, and therefore have very few stamps. I did have the months and since this weeks question was about time, I felt it apprioprate. I covered the tag with some white paper, and sprayed some ink/perfect pearls on it. The little diamond is from Prima, and the chipboard clock is Bo Bunny. The butterfly sticker is Graphic 45. On the back I used MME tag and rubon.

I found this over at this blog http://www.karenika.com/individual/2009_projects_project_3_52_tags.html
She did it in 2009. I am going to do a different techinque and a question a week for this year. On the front of the tag I am going to do a technique and on the back I am going to answer a question. I used a lot of the techniques that were on this blog but am changing them if I feel the need.

Here is my first tag. The question is "What do I wish for the New Year to bring?"
My technique was chipboard, and what I did was paint and distress chipboard. The chipboard pieces symbolize some of my wishes! Used Cosmo Cricket paper,Pink paisley chipboard, Maya Road Chipboard, Oriental Trading chipboard and the sun I don't know whose that was. Also found in my stash a metal Happy word that was purple, so I took a nail file and filed off the paint then use some Tim Holtz alcohol inks. Also found a little crystal butterfly.
On the back I used MME kraft and a 7gyspies tag. Trying to use stash wherever possible.
