Leslierahye's Merry Holiday Steampunk Blog Hop - December 21st

Welcome to 
Hosted by the very lovely Leslie Rahye

I want to thank Leslie for all the wonderful things she does
Hosting Steampunk themed blog hops
Her love and passion for crafting on all levels
She inspires me more than she knows
(welp-she knows now! lol)

This years has pasted me by quickly
Many joyous moments, some disappointments, and new revelations
I am excited for what is to come in 2014 and hope that you will
still be there through this journey

My last project for 2013

3D Steampunk Xmas Tree
Found an old tattered book at my thrift store for 25 cents.
I found a tutorial through Pinterest.
I put gesso on the folded pages and started spraying
I used Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powders, sprays and micas
Dylusions 
Used foil tape and used Tim Holtz dies and embossing folders
I bought some watch findings on www.etsy.com used Ranger's Glossy Accent to adhere the gears n cogs
found an awesome shop for the laser chip boards called www.ginasdesigns.net
the remaining embellishments are from my stash that I've collected throughout projects

This creation is also my submission to

Happy Holidays
to each and everyone of you
Keep art alive
live your dreams
love yourself
embrace life
be free
be happy
