I have an addiction...to Grunge Roses!

I was totally hooked every single day to all 12 days of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas. Each tag that he created was so stunning, creative, and just mind-numbingly WOW!! He takes you through each step and I was just blown away with his creative process. But then... Day 12. GRUNGE ROSES!! I was swept away to a whole new level of I MUST LEARN TO DO THIS!!! (Sorry for shouting.)

I needed to get all of the supplies. None of which Michael's or JoAnne's really carries. Only one place to go for that: Stamper's Corner in Elk Grove. So, when I went up there for the Hero Arts Debut Party I completely ravaged their Tim Holtz section. It's heaven at that store. Honest.

With all the tools in hand...I put everything aside. I'm lame. I had Christmas, had to go back to Vegas...blah, blah, blah. Excuses, excuses. I know. BUT!! I did finally make them!! This weekend. Yay me!! I started making one before realizing I had the wrong Sizzix die. Oops. But was encouraged to go forth and conquer. So I did. What a mess!! Ink, glossy accents, all kinds of goop everywhere. I doubt Tim is as messy as I was. But, ohhh....OHHHH....the results!! AMAZING! I'm hooked!!



All the supplies needed can be found on Tim's blog. I hope you make them too. They ROCK!!

AND Millan.net YAY!!

All my best,

Actually, I don't understand that word here. There's nothing grungy about these.
