For this challenge we are using the Pocket Pages technique found on page 36 of Tim Holtz's book, Compendium of Curiosities Vol. III.  If you don't have this book you can order a signed copy HERE.

I chose a few of my favorite project photos from years ago.  Great memories!  I think this will be page one of a whole new album of oldies.

Then I tucked some leaves and paper butterflies inside and around the pockets.

Linda Ledbetter is our host.  You may visit her at Studio L3 for all the details of our challenge.

The Funkie Junkie Boutique is sponsoring this challenge.  A lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to use at their shop.

There is also a winner selected by the Curosity Crew.  Their pick will recive a pack of "goodies" from Tim Holtz and Mario Ross.

MONEY CARD HOLDERS

 These are medium sized pyramid boxes I made to hold money cards for Christmas.

I made the boxes with Graphic 45 paper's 'Twelve Days of Christmas' .

The Poinsettias are made from 'Music Notes' paper by Recollections.

I used Tattered Poinsettia die by Tim Holtz and finished off the centers with tiny beads.

             I mounted a photo of Danny, my childhood friend, into cabinet card.  Then I covered
the front of card with Kaleidoscope Collection paper by Kaiser Craft.  Also covered tag with
coordinating color.
             I used Distress Inks antique linen and broken china to grunge up papers.

             Using Idea-ology Grungeboard shapes, I blended peeled paint and a touch of broken china. Then I glued these shapes and the rest of my findings and flowers onto the cabinet
card and inserted tag into the top.  

  

COMPENDIUM OF CURIOSITIES Challenge #14

     This altered bottle is my entry to Challenge #14 Vol. 3, page 53, where I have attempted to unravel the mystery of Colored Crackle!
     The Challenge is hosted by Linda Ledbetter at her blog Compendium of Curiosities.

   

     

     There is also a "Lucky Draw" being sponsored by The Funky Junkie Boutique.

 I filled this bottle with sand to add weight as my final project is a bookend.

I put two layers of Gesso on bottle and used a stencil with texturing paste for the sides.

This shows the challenge technique applied to one of the flowers.

The Curiosity Crew's Choice will be awarded a prize sponsored by Tim Holtz and Mario Rossi. One of the requirements of this challenge is not to reveal the technique used but you can buy your own signed copy of Compendium of Curiosities Vol 3 to discover what it is and have as much fun as I did!
