Andrea tore up paper strips and pictures to make this journal spread.  She used Donna Downey’s Dandelion Pods stencil, Stencilgirl’s Pixels stencil, and Tim Holtz’s Halftone and Rings stamp set.

Anna-Karin made a winter tag this week, using torn tissue tape as well as torn pieces of paper. The snowman comes from Tim Holtz’s Tattered Christmas set, and is layered on both real and a stamped wood slice.

Barbara has created a panel to decorate  her home tearing the edges of paper. She used  Tim Holtz idea-ology Christmas Paperie, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Christmas classic, Ranger Wendy Vecchi Embossing Powder Garden Patina and Tim Holtz Sizzix Festive Greens Thinlits Die.

Cathie created a card featuring her favorite winter character, a snowman! She used Tim Holtz Christmas Blueprints and several different Mini Holiday Greens, Holiday Greens and Mini Paper Snowflakes for added elements. The pretty shiny pieces were created using Spring Green, Red and Silver Deco Foils.

Lols made a Christmas card using a Tim Holtz Snowglobe Die Set she tore strips of white card to resemble snowdrifts.

Macarena made a wedding/anniversary card with flowers made out of a baby wipe and Spellbinders Rose Creation die. The background and the frame were stamped with SSS Abstract Triangles, embossed with SSS Embossing Powder White Fine Detail and colored with Paper Artsy Infusions. She teared up the inside of the frame using Tim Holtz Crowded Attic paper.

Maura was inspired by a sticker she got after voting. Dina Wakley’s Media Journal was just right to work in, along with Dina’s Positive Women Stamps, Carabelle Studio Inspire, Dream, Hope stamps by Birgit Koopsen, and the WOW! Go Figure stamp.

Meihsia created a mixed media holiday tag with torn corrugate paper using Idea-Ology Textured Surfaces and decorated it with Tim Holtz Remnant Christmas Rubs.
