Grungy Monday #1!

Woohoo!  Linda L. is continuing the awesome Tim inspired challenges on her blog!  With some fab guest artists! Check it out HERE.

And the first theme is taken from Tim's Tags of Christmas 2008, Day 10!

Here's  my tag, using Tim's new Air Travel stamps.


There's so much stamping on the background, it's hard to see the masking part. But I used the Heidi Swapp World Mask and Tim's Compass mask. You can kinda see South America's outline under the airplane. lol. All the background stamping was done with the Air Travel set, in either Coffee or Black Archival. 
And good old salvage stickers to the rescue for the word at the bottom and the little compass on the top of the tag. I think I'll end up using this on a scrapbook page..... at some point..... hopefully before I kick the bucket.... lol... providing I can find it when I need it, of course.
Alrighty, there you have it...thanks for stopping by today....now it's your turn to Go Be Creative!

43 watcha thinkin'?:

I really like your tag which is your entry for the first ever GM Challenge. I have this stamp set waiting for me to pick up at our local store. Your work makes me want to jump in the car, and drive the 60 miles round trip just to have it safe in my inky little hands. Great detail work.

I think you should give this on the eve of her next Tim-Cruise. UNLESS of course, she wouldn't take you with her. Then I wouldn't. It must go to someone who loves it. Hint hint.

Lori, have I mentioned that you're one of my favorite people people in the entire blogiverse? Well, you are. Geez, girl, everything you make is so perfect and gorgeous and inspiring. If I didn't love you so much, I'd be jealous as all get-out (but I do, so I'm not).

This is wonderful. You have taken Grungy Monday to new heights. ;)
