MCT 12 Days of Christmas~DAY #8

Happy Saturday! I hope you guys are having a fabulous weekend so far.  I love this time of year,  don't you? Well, besides the cold weather.. I don't miss the heat here in California!

Have you guys been hopping along? There are so many ways to use Emma's stamps and dies! I just love how versatile they are! For my project today, I altered a wooden cross I found at Michaels. Can you believe this started out as a $1 cross!! Crazy right! My plan was to keep it simple but when I added the paper and Mod Podge, the paper started to rip. So I decided to go for a grungy look. I distressed the edges and added a wire netting (dollar store find). I then went into my Timmy box (Tim Hotlz) and added all things Timmy! I added MCT Rolled flower Dies and finished it off with the sentiment.

It actually only took about an hour to make. I think this would look beautiful in any home! 






Recipe:
Tim Holtz Seasonal Paper
Tim Holtz Sprockets and Gears
 Tim Holtz Glassine Paper
Tim Holtz Game Spinners
Tim Holtz Word Keys
Tim Holtz Game Pieces
Tim Hotlz Corners
Marion Smith Trinkets
