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.....

I made a card with lots of Bling....I was reading a Craft Magazine the other day and there was a fabulous flower in there and I tried to make a flower with the Tim Holtz Tissue Tape in my own way.

At the bottom of the card there is a border with the Tissue Tape, I placed some little bling flowers that I ripped off a branch and placed it on top of the border and on top I placed the stickles.

I colored my card with lots of Distress inks such as Forest Moss, Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage and Pine Needles, used lots of Crackle Accents and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Foliage Advantus.
The flower is placed on the Art Parts Leaves from Wendy Vecchi.

The middle image was made with Adirondack Alcohol Inks and mixed with Blending Solution to make this result. On top of the stamp with little flowers I have used stickles too.....That was the first time I have worked with Alcohol Inks and it was a lot of fun.

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.

So you guys wanna have fun this week.....then come on over to the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog and please do check out the invidual blogs of my AMAZING teamies.....cause they really made fabulous projects .......and you can even make a chance of winning this fabulous prize our Regular Sponsor is offering....check this out....
