Tag a la' Tim Wreath for your Door


 Another Tag a la' Tim Holtz for you today! I am obsessed I tell ya! Now that I actually understand how to use alcohol inks and I have the right tools I am ink love ! Today's tag was inspired by THIS tag from his very first year. I don't have those stamps but wanted to recreate it best I could.
I did create the background much the same. I painted the tag with white crackle paint, let dry then inked it with antique linen ink. I distressed the edges and inked them with walnut stain.
I love how it looks like an old door!
For the wreath I punched out a bunch of MS pine branches and just formed a wreath. I added some red stickles to it and voila! Down at the bottom I used glitter stickers which I colored with alcohol inks red to spell out JOY and I stamped Christmas above it.
I used a large eyelet from stampin up to look like a door handle and I found these adorable little bitty keys from 7 Gypsies at Archivers. I hung one from some bakers twine and glued it behind the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Bow I made for the wreath.
 And here is the wreath close up! Very pleased how this one turned out!

Who is the Krafty Mama?


Hi I'm the Krafty one! :) I'm the Queen to 2 little knights and a sweet princess. I married my knight in shining armor (kevlar) over 8 years ago and I am a REAL mom, wife and substitute teacher trying to be the best I can be! I love "krafting" but tend to buy more supplies than I actually use. I love make up, nail polish, hair products and fashion but have been known to leave the house in sweats a messy bun and no make up! I love to cook and bake but am guilty of feeding my kids McDonalds in a pinch. I love direct sales and have joined too many to mention! I would love to get to know you!
