This is my first blog post of 2013 and we are starting off a bit unruly taking Tim's January "
12 Tags of 2013" technique and combining it with Unruly PaperArts
RAQ1 challenge to add a "Fleur-de-Lis," while keeping a Paris theme! So here we go!
The fun part about playing along with any challenge is to change it up a bit or at least I think so! I changed out Tim's grungy gears for the "Fleur-de-Lis" and "Mini Dress Form," but still used all three of those fabulous Metallic Distress Stains! After a light sanding, I shaded using Walnut Stain. I also cut out a foam stamp using the FDL movers and shapers and stamped in the middle of my hanging sign. Added the metal gears and a little zipper skirt which was inked with Broken China Distress Stain. Pretty much followed the guidelines for inking and embossing. The little hand was inked with Broken China, although it looks more like an off-white. Wish I could figure out that capturing the correct colors, but this girl is not willing to buy an expensive camera! Sorry, I must save $$$ for Tim's new releases! Oh My Crafty Goodness!! Need I say more?
I had to use Google Chrome for this blog post as with IE and Blogger, the area to add pictures from my computer was missing in action! Anyone else having that problem??? I just don't get this stuff, really I don't! Anyway, I thank you for stopping by today for a visit! Welcome to all my new followers! Have a wonderful 2013!

Important thing is you got your photo posted because this tag should be shared with us!!!! Love the zippered skirt and your Paris theme for the UPA RAQ!
Great steampunk paris tag Terry. I only use Google Chrome now as its the most reliable. Wishing you a happy and joyful New Year dear lady, hugs Annette x
LOVE this tag! And not only because I'm a sucker for all things Fleur de lis and Parisian!
I haven't had any troubles lately loading photos ... but still can't seem to get them to line up the way that I like (which you KNOW drives me freakin' nuts since I'm a picky pants). :)
Hope your Google/Blogger stops giving you fits!
Tres chic! Love your take terry, on tim s tag, debi x
Wonderful tag Terry. You have this ability to create a piece of art that easily draws us in with its originality and detail. I love the hanger on the sign and the border along the bottom and the fleur de lys fits in beautifully.
More crafty stash to buy soon, I am with you there.

Hi Terry, I really like your take on Tim's tag with a Parisian twist, that is so clever. The muted colours are stunning and I just adore the little coat hanger. I have not had those problems with Blogger/Google (yet!) but hope they go away soon for you. Hugs, Anne x

Firstly and most importantly this tag is superb and looks like another winner to me. Love your French take on Tim's tag and I bet he will too bearing in mind that's exactly the direction of his next collection. How clever are you!
And YES! I'm having EXACTLY that problem. It started yesterday afternoon and the only way I can get round it is by using Google Chrome instead of IE. Thought it might be because they are upgrading the broadband connection method in our area but you don't live in Staffordshire so that can't be it!!! Must be a Blogger thing. Will keep trying. Hugs, Jenny xx
Fantastic tag Terry, love the subtle colours.

Your tag looks amazing. I really do love seeing your tags.
I have been using chrome for over a year now.. I was having so much trouble with blogger so I had to change.
Hugs~
These things are sent to try us Terry although so far wordpress has not been hit (but I had lots of issues last year with posts and commenting).
Gorgeous, yummy colours on your tag and wonderful details and textures.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend.

Oh Terry! You did make this one "you"..what a delightful tag! I switched to Google Chrome quite sometime ago as IE was giving me the same problems on a ning site I as doing. No problems at all since the change!
Very very nice Terry.
Love this tag very much.
Greetings Janny
Fab theme Terry, your tag has all the right elements and colours, truly gorgeous! Happy New Year to you!

Great tag Terry - the shades in the background are lovely and I adore the zipper skirt!
What a beautifull combination of both challenges! I love how the tag turned out, very pretty!
Fab Tag, Terry, love it.
I'm glad you mentioned using Chrome. I've had these problems all last year and couldn't figure it out (and didn't have time to fuss). It has been so annoying - I feel your pain.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. great use of all the elements. I love that little hanger!! :))
Happy New Year to you Terry! What a way to go girl! Love this and now searching to find that embossing folder! Not seen that one before.
Love the fact that you have made it your own and added in the Paris theme.
Well done you.
xx
Beautiful! Love all that rich embossing and how you used that hanger, T.
Ooo La La, c'est belle!!
