Grungy Monday 06!

Pin It
With Special Guest Star Designer
Gabrielle Price!

Hello, Grungy Monday friends! I've missed you guys! Ranger U was an amazing, life-changing experience, and now that I'm back in the more mundane world, I'm going to dedicate this week to visiting your blogs and seeing your GM work for these past couple challenges. I had all the best intentions of keeping up in the days before and during my trip, but... well, you know how THAT goes! I can't wait to see your art!!!

This week, we're revisiting the technique from holidays past:


Remember, be inspired by the technique and use it to create something uniquely your own, like our Special Guest Star Designer, Gabrielle, did!

Our second Guest Star Designer for this week had to postpone due to family-related reasons. Fortunately, Gabrielle's piece is gorgeous enough for two!

Here's my own effort:

Please click here for a list of the products I used. 

Between Tim's piece, Gabrielle's and mine, you can already see that there are all kinds of ways to use this cool background technique!, so... what are you waiting for?! ;-)

 After you complete your masterpiece, please upload it here using the InLinkz button at the end of this post. You'll need to have your own blog or an online, public photo album like Photobucket or Flickr to participate.

Please be sure to include a link to Tim's website in your blog port or photo description (that's www.timholtz.typepad.com). I'd be grateful if you'd link back to StudioL3, too.


Remember to add your art to the Grungy Monday photo album at the All Things Tim group at Yahoo, where the sweet and brilliant List Mom, Gloria, has created this fabulous way to share your art with everyone there! All Things Tim is a wonderful, supportive group of craft artists who will welcome you with open arms and a ton of inspiration. If you're not a member yet, join up! It's free and all kinds of fun!
Okay, my inky friends, it's your turn! I'm so looking forward to getting caught up on my blog visits and correspondence, and I wish you a completely wonderful week!

hi Linda, oh great Ranger educator! Good to have you back, and it does seem odd to have to wait for Monday to find out what the challenge is, after my "starring" role last time!

Gorgeous sample for this weeks theme. I have had to re-link my entry as the lovely blogger decided to gobble up my 1st link!

Bella said...

There was a glitch with Blogger today, so I have had to re-post. The link still seems to connect, but just thought I should let you know that somehow in their problem, they deleted my original one, in case you were trying to get to my page and it was MIA!

Beverly Gotthardt said...

We'll all so glad Blogger is back up--loving your GM challenges.

BrianK said...
