I got a jump start on this month's tag as  I love steampunk and was excited to get started. I didn't have the mini typewriter die so I used the mini camera die instead. I have been waiting to use my new Diamond Plate and Riveted Metal textured fades and knew this was the perfect time to get them out and play. I didn't have the pitch black alcohol ink so I used black acrylic paint and just wiped off the excess paint. I also used stamps from the Remnants and the Odds & Ends 100th collection sets.

Here is my take on the August tag.

This technique did not like me one bit. I tried this 8 times and this was the last one I did and figured this was as good as it was going to get. Tim makes it look so easy :-) I used the following Tim Holtz dies: Rosette, flourishes, and vintage lace.

Father's Day card

Paper from DCWV Tattered Time stack and Tim Holtz Rosette and On the edge Steampunk dies.

The Zoo

These layouts are from a few different trips to the Zoo. I used paper from DCWV Safari Chic stack.

My niece Abby's first year

These are some of my favorite layouts I made for a scrapbook of my niece Abby. I used paper from DCWV Once upon a Time stack and K&CO Que Sera Sera stack.

For June's tag I wanted to use a picture of someone I knew instead of the one Tim posted so I went through some of my grandma's photographs and found an extra copy of this one of her sister Edith. I  didn't have the nibs Tim used so I just used my distress markers and love how this technique turned out. I also didn't have the stains he used except for the picket fence, so for the back ground I used the white distress stain along with distress inks. I really enjoyed this technique of tinting photos, it really adds a neat effect.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my tag! I appreciate the comments very much!
