Electra gets Grungy On The Road!

The Chestnut Theme Challenge #109 at Gingersnap Creations is "On The Road".

When I saw that, I immediately thought of a Itty Bitty Unity tricycle stamp I have.  I've been wanting to use it, like, FOREVER. 

Then, Grungy Monday 14 at Studio L3 is another one of Tim Holtz' faboolous background techniques:

from March 2008

You can find the deets on Tim's technique here.

This is what I came up with:

I love Tim's background techniques, don't you?

The cool chick is by Lora Talbot and I used a stamp from October Afternoon.

And OF COURSE, one of Tim's background stamps,

which is the whole point of the technique, right?

And while I have your attention and even though I am ashamed to admit it, I would like to show you what I made for last week's Grungy Monday 13.

Yeah, it's a week late.  Here's the deal.  I was sitting in my studio, humming a little song and stitching on this tag, when I realized it was about 8PM or so on sunday evening!  Gasp!  Oh no, I thought, what time is it in Idaho???

And I rushed to Linda's blog  and learned that it was exactly the same time in Idaho as it was here. 

Oops. 

Missed the deadline. 

I was so sad.

(see my sad face?)

So I'm going to misbehave and show you today instead.  I know, stubborn or what.

I prefer to call it "tenacious" thankyewverymuch.

It's shiny, but you can't tell. 

Metallic stuff is like that.

The rub-on says "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas".  But you can't see that either.

Metallic stuff is like that.

The stamp is borrowed from my friend Carol

and it's by (she gets up and goes and looks at it)

Paper Inspirations.

It's not metallic.

Merry Christmas.

Next week, I'll try to be on time.

Or not.

You never know.
