I made something!!!



Finally, it's been a month since my scrap room flooded and I finally have it all back together. I'm so happy to be able to do a little crafting. We insulated, the drywall is up and walls are painted. It was a big job, but well worth it. I'll do a video or post pictures in the next couple of days.

On to my tag. I did alot of shopping in the month I couldn't create and one of the things I bought was the Tim Holtz sewing room die. While I was preparing dinner today, I put a turkey breast in the roticary and while I was removing the nylon net that covers it, I had a a-ha moment. HA! I saw a skirt for my dress form die.

I cut the tag out of some kraft card stock and distressed the edges with my new distrezz-it-all, inked the edges, cut the dress form and after inking applied the skirt. I love it!! The sentiment is one of Tim's and the stamp is from Great Impressions I just got from my LSS. I dyed the pink seam binding with some pink bubble gum glimmer mist and crinkled it up.

I think this will work for Simon says stamp challenge Distressing.

It's good to be back, let me know what you think of my tag. I love your comments. Shari

  1. Hey, glad to see you're crafting again!!

    I LOVE the way you did the skirt on this tag!!! I've often saved that kind of netting from my turkeys....(cleaned, of course) - but never ended up doing anything with it, and consequently tossed it. Looking at your project sure makes me think I maybe should have saved it! LOL! This looks FANTASTIC!

  3. Hello! Darling tag! Love the turkey net as the skirt. Until I read that, I thought you had used some milliners' netting or something. Very unique! Thanks for sharing your project with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge! <3 Candy
