Tim Holtz week....

I am going to be doing a whole week of projects based off the Tim Holtz line with emphasis on the folders.  I am GOING to play with my Tim stuff if it kills me....and this way I have to because I just said I was going to.!!

Materials:
     Paper: Worldwin cardstock
     Graphic 45
Brads: Making Memories
Ribbon: cut from a tag on a pair of jeans I bought at Kohls...kid you not.
Sizzix: Tim Holtz embossing folder
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Fired Brick" and "Vintage Photo"
Tim Holtz Crackle Paints "Fired Brick"

The newsprint is actually something I printed off on my computer from newspaper clippings I am copying for my older son's scrapbook pages.  There is a lot of leftover pieces so why waste them?  I embossed the reddish paper with the embossing folder (this is the most awesome embosssing since Cuttlebug.... seriously people) and then inked over the raised image with my ink pad.  Once that dried I swiped it with my crackle paint for a little more distressing.  The rest is just inking and layering.
