Timmy Time!

Good morning lovelies! Those of you with young children/grandchildren may well be singing a little tune just now. But its nbot that Tim I'm talking about - of course it is the gloriousness that is Tim Holtz - I saw the challenge for AVJ this month and just had to join in. I decided to decorate a worn cover for my 2014 tags. Here it is:


Thats a better photo than the next - but its not quite finished at this point!


This is the change piece - with the ring binder in and the round metal tag on the front. I've used many things Tim in the making of this: Two stamp sets - papers, distress stains and inks, layering stencil, lettering, chit chat stickers!
Here's a close up of the back:

And the front - before the change:


I would like to enter this into the challenge at vintagejourney happy-1st-birthday-avj

I had a fun time last night at our village Institute - I went to see Mikado! It was very funny - great costumes and some fabulous singing! Well done to the cast! Marvellous job! I have some of the drama mums coming around tonight for wine and DVD! Looking forward to it!

Thanks for you comments and big hugs from me!

    Wow, what a great makeover Rachel. I love that gorgeous butterfly on the front (think that will have to go on my wishlist - near the top). Have a great evening with your friends, wine and DVD.

    So beautiful, Rachel - I love the glow of the butterfly on the front, and the delicate fussy-cutting of the flowers was so worth the effort - they look amazing. Wonderful covers altogether! Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey.
