 I’m sharing a project I made with EXOTIC stamp by Block Wallah.

I have to say.....I HAD SOO MUCH FUN

playing with my Block Wallah stamp!

I began by pulling out some sheets of vintage paper...

Here is a little video of my stamp exploration....

Once I had my "stamped papers" created....

I pulled out a few more of my faves to use....
a bit of paper mesh....
(I brush on a bit of Multi Medium to hold it together.)

 

 and a piece of handmade paper
that I cut to size.

Here is my completed card
using the Block Wallah Stamp ~ Exotic

'TOVER Tag Series.....Day 3!!

Thank you to everyone who has stopped by my blog to check out

my 'TOVER Tag Series!

As I was unpacking the last of my studio boxes
(at least the ones in the house)

I came across a mini album I had created.....
it reads...

'TOVERS...things that at one time were
GREAT IDEAS only to be put aside
because they JUST DIDN'T FIT at that moment.
Then to be REVIVED at just the right time and place
......and are PERFECT!

Life is like that!
HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAMS

'cause one day
.......they will be PERFECT!

Here is my last tag in the series....

you can see one of the Petaloo blooms that

got caught in spray cross fire

and even sopped up a bit of color off my craft mat.

I did add a few UmWowSTUDIOS chippies...

they are the 'TOVERS from the

Distressed Harlequin Background.

I hope you have enjoyed my creative journey

with my 'TOVER'S!!

And that I have inspired you to pullout some of

your leftover pieces parts....

and give them new life!!

I challenge you to create using your 'TOVERS
and I would LOVE TO SEE

your creations.

All you have to do is enter a link
to your direct blog post
....if you don't have a blog
you can email me a picture of your creation
and you will be entered into a random drawing
for some creative 'TOVERS!

 (2) jars of Silks
(2) Twinks
(2) jars of Primary Elements
and

(1) jar of Bind and Resist

a 3 x 3 Canvas Corp Canvas
and a package of 

Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers.

You have until February 12th to enter!!!

Take My Hand.....

....and we will walk this path together!!

Many times I've created because 

of an assigned project or theme....

the other day I needed to create

FOR SANITY SAKE!!

I pulled out my plastic container of
"MISFITS"

and began to paw through

the pile of goodness....

unused BEAUTIES...that just didn't
work on the project they were 

created for....

but not worthy of the trash bag!!

Life has dealt me some SERIOUS BLOWS 

in the last 6 months....the hardest one being....
walking through cancer treatments
with someone
NEAR & DEAR

to my heart....

.....so when I found the Wendy Vecchi ~ Arts Parts hand

I just knew where this creative journey 

was going to take me

A card from the HEART!

I stumbled upon one of Petaloo's Vintage Trinkets

and it fit PERFECT on the hand!!

....there were Petaloo flowers adorned with

Viva Colour Precious Metal Effect Paint!!

I just added a dab of 

TA Red Rock to the center of the large flower

and around the edges of the

Canvas Heart....

for continuity!!!

I chose to die~cut a piece of Vintage Dictionary paper

that was in the box

using Die~Namites Spring Doily!!

And there you have it........

my "MISFIT" card!

(sometimes they turn out the most LOVELY!!)

Ah....and you may notice my 

FAVORITE SAYING 

of all time.....

"We don't remember DAYS....

We remember MOMENTS!!"

by Cesare Pavese

in the background.....

WONDERFUL words to

LIVE BY!!

BTW......WHY DON'T YOU 

pull out some of your

MISFIT pieces parts and

CREATE SOMETHING!!

I will choose a RANDOM winner

for a Prize Package 

from my stash!!!

(I promise it will be awesome!!)

MISFITS...are the pieces parts you have left over when you are done creating (or at least when I am done!!).....a flower you didn't use....journaling card cast aside....a diecut you cut but it didn't fit....Loopy bows tied but never adorning a creation....
