A Vday tag

a bit late??? I think not! I love love -- and it should be celebrated on more than one day a year :D

Here is the tag I made for.. (get this...) THREE different requirements! (and a 4th random linkup)

• Tim Holtz's new 12 tags of 2012 link up!
• CropChocolate.com's weekly challenge (Make an elaborate shape out of simple shapes)
• and I'll be posting this on the Viva Las Vegastamps! Blog tomorrow as my biweekly DT piece :)
• and my 4th linkup will be @ The Graphics Fairy.. I don't have TH's cupid die, so I got the silhouette from her! 

products used: Manila folder, old book words, graphic's fairy cupid, heart punch, snug hug, vintage lace, acrylic paint, spun sugar distress stain, brushed corduroy distress ink, festive berries distress ink, silver liquid pearls, old sewing pattern, hot glue, zig glue, ranger crackle paint in rock candy VLVS! stamps

Here is a close up of the background where you can see the VLVS! stamps

and here is a better shot of my 3D heart :)

Sorry..

I'm not sure why, but my VLVS! Tryout post was refusing to schedule for the future.. please ignore those.. I've now deleted them :D Continue on down for my latest creation!

G45 - altered spool

blogs are funny aren't they? I think they get pushed to the back burner SO easily.. I did a big show.. tried to concentrate on making product for it.. the blog sacrificed.. then I swore once it was over.. I would post tons of goodies to the blog.. however.. Graphic45 put up a design team call.. as well as couple of other places..

But.. I'm posting a Graphic45 pieces right now :) which will go into the larger application post towards the middle of the week!

The spool is decorated with Tropical Travelogue (8x8) papers.. did some fussy cutting (the foliage) as well as paper rolling (the eggs). I stamped a Unity stamp onto some white cardstock as sort of a focal point. The paper unrolls from the wooden spool to reveal a treasure map.. and when it's rolled up a vintage metal button pairs with some bakers twine to keep it closed. Other than that I used some moss, distress ink and glue :)

I've sent this in to UNITY to be pinned on a pinterest board for a competition! Keep an eye out there to vote for me :)

as the week at SimonSaysStampandShow is anything goes, I'll also be linking up there :) 

Today is the day
