This week, both of them involve grunge. Check out the links for all the details. I have managed to combine both in one tonight, which given what else I need to get done this week, is a plus!
Linda has us on page 53 this week, under the terms of the challenge I can't tell you how I did this technique but I can say I cut the shape out of grungepaper with my alterations die and the movers and shakers to make hangy holes!
Simon says this week, "show your grunge" and most of what I have used tonight is grungepaper, the base shape, the lion (from Tim's mini classics set- never stamped him before - he's CUTE!) - and the sentiment (wendy V) is stamped on grungepaper and attached with the tiny attacher (mainly cos the glue won't stick, lol) It's probably time I showed you what I made, instead of burbling on, sorry!
I finished it with a memo pin holding an adage ticket, grunged up with the paper distresser (and my fingers!) and glued it into the lion's hands - sorry, paws! Used a couple of swivel clasps for the hangy mechanism.
I had more trouble photographing it with the flash bouncing off the ink, than I did making it!! This is the best I could get - look at the one I tried without flash.... just for a laugh!
Linda was right, I LOVE this week's compendium technique - so much I think I'm going to go and make something else!!
Both challenges are offering some great prizes from their sponsors, so thanks to them for their generosity.

Awesome wall hanging! Love the background and the use of the lion is quite clever!
Hi Helen, just love the colors and the Agate technique turned out awesome. I have to get that stamp. Just love the inscription... Beautiful wall hanging !
Hi Helen
I'm on big time catch up, off to look round at what I've missed and this is one super piece of work.
Hopefully back into blogland again unrestrained so will be back.
What do you think to Roy ? Will he do it for us I wonder ?

Gorgeous wall hanging. I bet it is even more amazing in person. I love checking out your creations. You are soooo talented!!
Gorgeous bit of agate art Helen! Feeling bit better thanks xx
It's a beauty! That shape is just perfect for it, too.
Ouu! Great piece! Love your lion!
And, you weren't alone in the photographing troubles!
Helen: WOW! Oh, girl, this is just beautiful, and the design is so clever! Your AI Agate background is gorgeous-- it looks like metallic marble (!), with the fine veining and subtle colors. I love the lion carrying around his sign. That's a GENIUS use of this image, and just think of all the other cool ways you could use this-- like, what a cool place card holder for a dinner party! The sentiment and stamping are wonderful, too. You have knocked it outta the park again! Well done!
Good quote! I like the pin too!
Thanks so much for entering the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge!!
