Configurations!
The CC2 Challenges 11 and 12 is all about work "Configurations," as Linda instructed us to open Tim's book to pages 33 and 34! For this "special edition," Mario has sent a lovely package of Tim Holtz goodies for some lucky winner! WooHoo and I do hope it is me!!! As always, you must have the CC2 book to play along and we can't tell you about the technique. Many of the little "treasures" were previous makes that I did not use, but thought they would fit right in for this! I actually had much more fun than I thought I would and this is my first configurations box! Thank you Linda for that much needed push! I am also entering this in Simon Says Stamp and Show "Layered" as there are paper layers, inks, lace, metals and other embellishments. I think that qualifies as layers!
For the top row, I added some shrink plastic pieces, filmstrip over a couple of the numbers, the little glass flower is what was in the center of a candle my my DD, added a little nesting grass and a couple of feathers gifted to me by my Fred!
The brass bear in the center row was a gift from my DS, when he was a child!
The last row contains a lock from my DH and he has had that since he was at least a teenager! There was not a key, so I added one from my stash! Isn't that lock gorgeous! It is quite heavy and even has a combination, but I won't share it! Of course, now it is kind of glued down! Anyway, he said I could have it as if it would not have been taken!
A couple of closeup pictures.
Thank you for stopping by! I can't wait to go see what all of you have been up to! My DH took some extra days off over the 4th, so my blogging time was limited and of course there was more flooring to be completed! Hopefully by the end of this year, we will be done! Have a great week and I will see you in blogland!

I LOVE your configurations box Terry!
Wonderfully meaningful items throughout and as usual you've chosen colors and designs that perfectly mimic one another.
I also like that you mentioned your use of "leftovers" ... I've been meaning to do a blog post about that topic: Essentially a fun Q&A asking people if they chuck non-used bits or save them for future projects ... and if they save them ... how big is *that* pile?
Blah, blah, chatty today, aren't I? Enjoy your flooring project! :)
WOW! You nailed this...love everything about your configurations box!
