Okaaaaaaay, are you ready guys?....Here we go with what I made for the SUPER BLOGHOP...wohoooooo!



Since Summer sure looks like Fall, I made a Wendy Purse with lots of goodies from The Wendy Vecchi, I started out making a purse and distressed it with Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage, Forest Moss, Rusty Hinge and Dried Marigold.
I used the Autumn Papers that I had in my closet and applied Crackle Accents to give it even more of a "special" look.



The Flower was created using the Art Parts Flowerset from The Wendy and I played around with the  Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents on it. I coloured it with Distress inks and Sprayed some Glimmermist on top. The center of the flower is worked on with the Tissue Tape from The Tim Holtz, You can hardly see it, but yes it's there! I played with the tape and I made a little flower with it but I wasn't happy. I continued playing, adding Distress inks, another dose of  Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents, on top the Button and yep then I was happy with it......And...underneith the flower I placed the Art Parts Leaves.



The Butterflies are also from The Wendy Vecchi, Just Fly. Don't you just love them.....I certainly do wohooooo....To finish off the purse front, I placed some pearls along the top.


Inside the purse the background was stamped up with a sentiment from Tim Holtz, The Journey.
I then placed the stamp set inside the purse too, seeing as I had used them! Now you can fill the Wendy Purse with lots of Wendy goodies, or whatever you want to put in it.....wohoooo....!
And here is my finished WENDY PURSE, I hope that The Wendy will like it .....I hope that you will all like my Wendy Purse too. I really had great fun creating it, especially with all the fabulous products from The Wendy Vecchi!
Oh! What's this doing on my blog? Looks very intriguing...maybe you know what it's all about?

From here you need to go to the super talented LOLS for more inspiration. I would really appreciate a comment if you'd like to leave one...that would be just wonderful!
Thank you for visiting my blog and checking out the LONGGGG post...but I promise you it will all be worth your while at the end!!........so hoppalong to LOLS blog for more inspiration guys and thank you so much!

Soooo don't forget to come over to the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog and stay tuned oke?????????????????????/

Oke now here we go with this weeks challenge.......

When I heard the word Travel,  immediately the thought of a Travel Book popped up in my brains..... when your on a Journey you can write ALL of your adventures in it.


I started out with The Tim Holtz Embossing folder, worked on it with Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage, Forest Moss and Weathered Wood.





For the inside of the Book the wonderfull clearstamp sets from The Tim Holtz couldn't be missed, so I have used the Journey and Flights of Fancy. The sentiment is worked on with embossingpowder.






I have made a few different flowers and on top of them I placed the  Glossy Accents with Distress Crackle Paint, that gives such a special look. I just love it.....



From 7 Gypsies the clearstamp set Steampunk was worked with.The sentiment is from the Artistic Outpost, Lovely Day.


Don't you just love this butterfly......I do hehehe.....and the sentiment, it is absolutely true...yep.....and from upclose I hope you are able to see that it is heatembossed...

The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Odds and Ends....and the fabulous bird offcourse from The Tim Holtz The Journey....wohoooo



This Mill is from the stamps of the Artistic Outpost and the border is made with the Martha Stewart Punch.....The flower is made the same way as the other flowers in my post...and the beautifull bird is from The Tim Holtz Flights of Fancy.....I embossed it with the Copper Embossingpowder, to give it that special look.




And offcourse The Wendy Vecchi's Just Flutterby Butterfly had to be worked with. I just love the Just Flutterby Butterfly, you can do so many things with this little cutie.  For the background I once again embossed it with the embossingfolder from The Tim Holtz....


And here is another flower that was build up with a nestie, glossy accents, distress crackle paint and a spacer on top.

So here is the front of the Travel Book,it took me a long time to put it all together but I am pretty pleased with it....I hope you like it too....
Tthe stamps that I have used on the front of the book are from the Artistic Outpost, Lovely Day. Just reminds me of Holland with the bicycle and the girl, so I thought I would use these fabulous stamps.......so guys what do you think.....You wanna join into the post? Then rush on over to the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog and join in oke? You can even win a fabulous prize from our Fantabulous Regular Sponsor Simon Says Stamp....check this out.....

This is the top of my project for this weeks challenge, Show us your The Tim Holtz Technique.......
I made a Pyramid Box, a little box to give away....I have used the Distress Technique and Emboss Technique from Tim Holtz. It is so much fun to work with......




The butterflies on the Pyramid box are from The Wendy Vecchi, I think The Tim doesn't mind that this post is shared with The Wendy. Her butterflies are absolutely great and I have used both of them...To emboss the butterflies I have used the Copper Embossing Powder and offcourse Distress inks, Milled Lavender, Faded Jeans and Dusty Concord are the colors for this weeks challenge. All the borders are worked on with Vintage Photo.


When the top is taken off the box opens up and this is how it looks like on the inside. I have used the Marianne Design Vintage Paperpad, very nice papers with lots of musicnotes on it. Worked on it with the Distress inks and very simply placed it on the inside.


This butterfly is the other one that I have mentioned, the Just Flutterby Butterfly from Wendy Vecchi. I also worked with the copper embossingpowder and offcourse the Distress inks. I just can't help myself cause I just loveeee butterflies.
