This week our theme is SHOW US YOUR .....THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, OR A PROJECT WITH DEPT.....You can make anything you like as long as it is VINTAGE and has depth in it.....or on it.....

Here is what I came up with.....

I was experimenting with the Configuration Box and I was teasing  my teamies a bit (LOL) but at the last minute I decided to create a Vintage Steampunk Configuration box. I used Tim's Configuration Box of course and Tissue Tape on top of the box. 

The papers used for the background are from Graphic 45, Steampunk Debutant. 

The compartments were filled with The Tim's Sprocket Gears, Timepieces, Spinners, 7 Gypsies Clear Bottles and everything was distressed with Distress Inks from the Winter Limited Editon, Forest Moss, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo.

 I played with Rock Candy Crackle Paint  and Picket Fence Crackle Paint on the Box top and front 

The stamps are from The Tim Holtz Seamless Experience set. I can tell ya guys, at first I thought this was going to be a realllllll challenge for me since I had never played with a Config box before....but I was having soo much fun with it.....that I want to make another one in the near future....that is for sure......

So here is my whole finished project.......the Steampunk Configuration Box.....I hope you like it....I am pretty pleased with it since this was my first one.....So you wanna have fun too....then come on over to the SIMON SAYS STAMP AND SHOW challenge blog and do join into the fun....I wish you lots of fun......

When I heard what the theme for this weeks challenge was, I did not know what to make and at first I wanted to make TAG....but after a while of thinking I decided to try out the Pocket Watch from The Tim Holtz... What a fabulous way to make Christmas scenery, especially creating SANTA'S watch! When you read my post you know what I mean with creating SANTA's watch......
Hope you can see what kind of scenery I made inside the pocket watch.....I used a really cute image and it really looks like the Northpole eh? A little snow on the rooftops and at the bottom of the scenery. 

I altered the cute Vintage Santa with Distress Inks and used the Sprocket Gears and Game Spinners inside the Pocket Watch. At the back of Santa in his HUGE bag of presents I placed a Christmassy Flower with the Tim Holtz Floral Die flower

Santa is holding a Timepiece to let everyone know that it's almost time for Christmas.
I also added some snow and Stickles inside the Pocket Watch to make it look like the North-pole.

So and hereeeeeeeeeeeeeee's SANTA....yep my whole project for this week.....I am so glad that I found the SANTA in my stash.....and if you would like to have that much fun making a project....then come on over to the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog....first your gonna have fun and second your not going to believe what my AMAZING TEAMIES made for you to get some ideas what to make....my goodness, Completely YUMMIENESS for your eyes....so guys come on over and have some fun.....And you can even win a fabulous prize from the
