does not have the usual stickle rhinestones and glitter pen bling that i have added to some of the other mini albums i have designed this paper reminded me of vintage school books that my grandmother may have taught from back in the 40s so i created a distress look by sanding the edges and using a lot of tim holtz wild honey distress ink i used two different sizes of chip board pages for the book it gives it a great layered look the edges of the larger pages layered the red gingham and abc area when you open the first small page the rest of the cover is revealed who does this book belongs to the little girl writing on the chalk board or the girl in the red dress that appears to be giving some one a spanking where was the teacher while all this was going on posted by eclectic archivist at

embellishments i have been experimenting with tim holtz idea ology fragment charm they are tim s acrylic bits and pieces of different shapes and sizes the ones that come pre drill with holes when used along with rangers glossy accents you can create embellishments and jewelry the easiest technique is to apply the glossy accents to one side of the charm lay the piece on a patterned paper wait until the glossy accents drys cut off the excess paper around the charm and there you go you have a one of a kind charm add a jump ring and cording and you will have a pendent if you use one of the smaller pieces you will have a charm for a bracelet i experimented with stamping the charms with staz on ink then adding a patterned paper behind the stamp i tried his technique for embossing the charm by sanding one side to create a frosted look i then stamped an image with versa mark and applied clear embossing powder then i used a heat gun to melt the embossing powder which created an etched look on the charm i now have a jar full of completed charms there has to be more to these fragment charms that to just make jewelry while rooting in my patterned paper scraps i found a old jenni bowlin paper that looked like a collage of old post cards one of the post cards had a great teal green background with variegated orange flowers i created a charm with a portion of this image while the charm was drying i covered a manila tag with the rest of the collage paper and added some of the text from the paper to the tag when the charm was dry i added a bow for an embellishment i lined up the image on the charm to the image on the tag and adhered it to the tag with ultimate glue the tag was finished off with tim s wild honey distress ink i was pretty pleased with how the tag turned out who knows i may spend the next week creating tags and adding fragment charm embellishments to them all posted by eclectic archivist at 6 01 pm no comments labels acrylic collage embossing embossing powder
