Season for everything

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to our Clock week.
And if we are talking Clock and Time, what can be better then to use this Bible versus of " Season for everything" and  to make a whole altered mini book? This is a kind if " never finished" project, or at least I still have about 12 pages to add to this one. I used this " There is a season for everything" Bible quote and I am just in a process of it. I only made the cover and about 4 pages, but the concept is to add more and more  Mixed Media pages to this self- made with Bind-It-All project (it opens from the top and from both sides and the reason I used the huge wire on the top is that it will be very fat after I finish it all.
As you can see that Tando huge  chipboard clock is the main part of it here.

The Zutter acrylic 8*8 cover was stamped all over and I added this Tando Creative fantastic clock chipboard.The lower cover was painted with Tim Holtz distress stains, stamped with Unity clock stamp  and then I added some bubble wrap white paint stamping.
I made just 4 pages for now (will add more in time, maybe one a month)
The pages I made are Time to love, time for peace, time to plant and time to sew. I didn't make all
" bad" things yet (like time to die?) and I am not sure I will in the future.
So here are some of the pages made with Tando goodies (not all of them have chipboards, but a part)
Here is my Time to Plant with Tando leaves and a butterfly over it

And time for Peace page with Tando  dove as a symbol for peace

And the background  and front only- as all pages are clear, so it's hard to see them clearly.

I promise to share more pages  made with Tando goodies when they are done.
Hope I inspired you a bit and now just get yourself great clock chipboard from the store and make your own crazy projects.

Tag Week by Kaz

I hope you have enjoyed the gorgeous tags the girls have made this week. I think you can safely say we all love tags!!

Here is mine:

I started off by using some texture paste through the ~{Harlequin Mask}~ and, once it was dried, I've used Fresco paints in layers to show the varying texture. It's hard to see, but I also used the dots from the base of Neil Walker's ~{Fish Mask}~ down the left side.

Next I've painted 2 flowers from the ~{Flowers with Stems Grab Bag}~ and 3 butterflies from the       ~{Mini Butterflies Pack}~ all with Fresco paints as they work so well with the chipboard and you only need one coat! I've stamped dots onto the butterflies and doodled on them all to add details.

I finished off with a quote and lots of ribbons.

tag week....

Today its my turn (Carol) to show you my tag - I love making tags, they are so versatile and are a great way to practise new techniques without too much worry about ruining bigger canvas's.

Today I have this to show you:-

The project uses Butterflies, flowers, keys, swirls and rabbits in the mini range and a piece of border.

Pop on over to my blog for details on how I made this piece.

Don't forget to pop back tomorrow as we have great tags being posted every day this week.

Is your bobbin full?

It seems ages since I made a tag...so naughty of me as I really like making them. Its TAG week which pleases me and I have used the small sewing set for my tag.

Lots of paint and stamping has been thrown at this, along with some fabric, trimming and lace! Doesn't it look like I embossed the chipboard? I didn't, its a lace stamp using Brilliance ink!

Here is the Sewing set from Tando nekkid...you get a lot in this set and the chipboard is TOP quality!!!

Thank you for popping by, HUGS, Karen xxx
