Beautiful Grungy Monday on Wednesday

The challenges for Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities book has been completed and Grungy Monday has begun!  Linda at StudioL3 has started her Grungy Monday challenges, and I'm loving it.  It's a wonderful way to incorporate fun ideas into your crafting without trying to decide what technique to do next.  The tutorials are easy to follow along, because she gives you a direct link to Tim Holtz' tutorial--and he's fabulous for his step-by-step tutorials--even the most beginners of crafters can follow along and explore their creative side.  

For my Grungy Monday project--which I'm posting on Wednesday--I decided to make a tag for my Mom's birthday.  I wanted to make it a bit more flowery, so I used the flower parts mask for mine...added some sparkle, some flowers, and brighter colors. 

It was a lot of fun to make, and following Tim Holtz' tutorial was great!  Be sure to stop by Linda's blog to see the other submissions for this challenge--lots of great talent with different points of view for the same techniques!
