Playing with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

It's been over a month since I posted anything to my Blog.  I really should post more often.  Since my Stash N Stuff store on Etsy has been going so well, yesterday I felt like being creative instead of cutting out die cuts for my store.

I decided to play around with my Distress Inks by Tim Holtz that I haven't done anything with yet.  I had a new Sizzix pumpkin die-cut that I started with.  After cutting these cute pumpkins I decided to ink them up a little with the Distress Inks.  First I inked up an old small background stamp from Stampin Up with black and stamped some little specks on the pumpkins.  Inked the pumpkin with Distress inks, I believe it was the Spiced Marmalade that I used. Then I inked up the edges with Tea Dye and the stem with Peeled Paint.  In the first picture you can see the difference a little ink will make, brings the pumpkins to life.

 I was quite happy with the way my pumpkins turned out.  Now I thought what do I do with them so I decided to create some tags playing around with more of the Tim Holtz Distress Inks and stamps I had.

I created three tags as I enjoyed getting my fingers full of ink.  Ink pads all over my table as well as stamps.  Here's what I came up with.  This is not usually my style of card and tag creating but is was a lot of fun playing around with this type of inking and creating.  Feel free to leave comments and let me now what you think.  Here are my tag creations, now don't they just make you want to create and get your fingers full of ink.

Oh My! "Wildlife"

The Mulberry Tree that was pictured in my last post, now has some wildlife feeding on the berries.  Every year the deer and birds have a feast under the tree.  This deer has been here just about all day, they get so they don't get scared off that easy and I was able to get a couple of pictures.  Had to take them real quick before she ran off.  She is beautiful!

Greenery Everywhere!

I love all the brilliant greens of spring and summer.  Everything looks so green and lush with the trees full of their summer finest.  This is our Mulberry tree and it is loaded with berries.  The berries are white and will turn black when they ripen, the birds and deer will have a feast with all the berries.  Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures of the deer to post here.  A few years ago we debated on cutting the tree down but I told my husband no, it gives the deer and the birds food.  I'm glad we didn't cut it down, this tree is so big but this branch looked so pretty with the sun shining on it I just had to get this picture.  Enjoy!

Hens n Chickens

Just had to share this picture.  My cousin takes old work boots and plants Hens n Chickens in them.  He gave me these a couple of years ago but this Spring they have really taken off.  I guess all the snow and cold weather we had over the winter has really helped all the plants.  Everything around our house seems to be growing like crazy and the trees all look so beautiful all dressed in their green leaves.

I had these work boot planters out by our other door but the chipmunks keep munching on them so I had to move them to where they are now.  I had another pot of the same plant by the other door but the chipmunks ate them.  I didn't think the chipmunks would munch on this type of plant.

Enjoy everyone and have a wonderful day, it is so beautiful here today.  Our mulberry tree is just loaded with berries.  They are not ripe yet but when they are, the deer and the birds will have a feast.  Hopefully I can get some pictures of the deer eating the berries when they get ripe.

Sassy Cheryl's Show Me Thursday # 26

Every Thursday is "Show Me Thursday" at Sassy Cheryl's.  I never posted  to this before because no way could I let anyone see my craft room.  This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and hubby and I decided we were just staying home and moving furniture, shampooing carpets and in between all that mowing the lawn.

My craft room still isn't what I would like it to be but I must say I am a lot happier with it now that it is a little more organized.  I had 2 small tables before but brought in the 6 foot table, gives me more room and I can store some of the carts under the table.  Now I have to go through each drawer and organize them and label the drawers but that is not going to happen today.  On the table there are a couple of finished projects and some that I am working on.

Now that I have the room a little more organized, I even have room for the exercise bike in a place where I can use it instead of shoved in the corner with paper piled on top of it.

Stop on over to Sassy Cheryl's to see all the other Show Me Thursday entries.

So there it is folks complete with hound!  Happy Memorial Day everyone.

It's hard trying to take a picture when you have to aim towards the windows.
