Day 8's tags actually ON Day 8!

Woo!  With 34 minutes remaining in Day 8 I get the tags done and photographed and posted, yay me!  I am also including a shot of what happens when you don't follow directions and are impatient and decide to dry the crackle paint with a heat gun even though it doesn't have that "skin" on it yet AND Tim expressly told you not to... yep, huge crater cracks and the color is even a little off. 

I love Distress Crackle paint but does anyone know where I can buy some patience?  I'd even pay full price!  PLUS shipping! Let me know if you find any, 'kay?  Thanks for stopping by see you tomorrow!

What's on your workdesk wednesday

 
There.  Are you happy?  It's a mess-well not as bad as I have had it.  But a mess with three finished technique tags.  And a pile of cut in half manilla folders for turning into art at some very far off future date.  Veeeery far off.  However, I'm only one day late posting the tags for the online class so huzzah for me!  Maybe I'll get today's done and posted on the same day.  But don't hold your breath.  I'd hate for you to be waiting and turn all blue and pass out.  :)  Heh.  So here is a closer view of the tags. 

These are from day 7.  All about embossing.  Sadly, there will not be any from day 6 as it requires the use of the fabulous and hard to get Distress Markers.  So since I didn't want to be Cheaty McCheaterton I haven't done those tags.  But I will, oh yes, I will.  I will have those distress markers and then I'll take over the world!   MWAAHAHA!!  oh- sorry.  got a bit carried away.  Off to hop among the desks, (click HERE if you don't know about this desk-hop lark) and if you visited me last week, never fear, I am on my way to see you right now.  I promise.  And a week late isn't too bad is it?  Right!  Off we go!

More class tags and yep, they are days late

  So now that we are on day 6 of the class I have finally gotten around to posting days 4 and 5.  That whole having to go to work thing is just yuck.  Why can't I just stay home and play?  Oh right, the whole paying for the house and eating thing.  Not to mention the purchasing of the stash.  Now I remember.  Here are day 4's fabby tags with 10% less cheat-yness!  ...yeah, I totally made up that number...it just sounded good...

And now for something completely different...okay, a little different...I give you day 5's super fantabulous tags.  And let me just say that the second one and the last one I had to do about a kerbillion times and they still never came out as good as Tim's.  Sigh.  Guess that's why he gets the big bucks.  :)

I'm looking at these and wondering why the first tag in both photos looks shorter than the other two.  If you look really closely they seem to grow in size from left to right and that's just weird because they are all the same size in person!  Yep, weird.  Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did making them!  Thanks for stopping by!

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday

After a ridiculously long hiatus this is what's on my workdesk:

glorious, inky, stampy goodness.  Yay!  I'm taking Tim Holtz's Creative Chemistry 101 online class and if you aren't then stop reading this and go immediately to www.onlinecardclasses.com and sign up!  It has only been three days and I've already learned a whole bunch of really cool stuff.  So go sign up.  What you see here is Day 3's techniques.  And I have to fess up...the two center tags are a little, well, cheat-y because you see I own exactly two colors of Archival inks.  Black and Coffee.  So I cheated on the first one by adding the colorful parts with the Distress inks and on the second by using (gasp!) Stayz-On inks.  but tag one and four are done with the correct products.  Here's a closer look at the tags:

Seriously, you need to take this class.  It's already awesome!  Here's Day two's technique tags:

So I'm off to post my taggy goodness on the class site, and oh yeah to eat dinner (which I did not have to cook...yay!) and to peek at desks.  If you are wondering about this Workdesk thingy, hop over to Queen Julia's blog to learn all about it!  Have an inky fun week!
