The grunge does go well with the new ideology paper as is...but....it looks so nakie! LOL I want to at least ink the edges in some tumbled glass LOL but that's me :) it's your art...I love it as it is. :)

I love the look of the blue.

Helen said...

I love both of these, but my fave of the two is the orangey-pinky one. I can't wait to get some of those papers. Have a great CHA. I am being good and not re-posting my fave of the new stamps on yesterday's post because seriously I can't choose between them!

Cim Allen said...

I love love love the second cover .. I am blown away by all the cool things both you and Tim have put out. Have fun !! Thanks for thinking of us bloggers :)

Is that paper to die for, or what? Just when my stash was finally beginning to dwindle down .....

Those are both awesome !!!!! beautiful look - the paper on the back and the embellishments on the top - so three d. I don't work with so much acrylic and this makes me want to do more with it.

Oh yeah I am loving this! Can't wait to see when you're going to be back at Scrapbook Friend'z. My daughter is panting to make a bag bag with wool flowers like you posted earlier.

I love,love,love both of those books! I also love Tim's new papers. I am a paper-holic so I think I need to take a deep breath and back away from the computer!
I saw in the previous comment they hoped you came to Scrapbook Friend'z. If that's in Bloomington,IL I second the motion. I would be there in a heartbeat!

Unknown said...

What a great combo! I need to get on the ball and get one made to keep my Studio 490 stamps in. I keep growing out of my space! Have a great time at CHA--I wish I was there!

nonnie said...

love the blue and green on the second cover...and is that one of tim's new little ideology birds on the upper right corner? way cool....hope the sun comes out soon....nonnie

Irene Lenihan said...

I really love all that new paper. Just what I need, more paper to drool over. LOL I love the way you used it.

Unknown said...

The second cover looks amazing -- LOVING the new paper line! Both covers are spectacular!!

See you at CHA!! I'm at the airport waiting to board the plane. Can't wait to see these IRL

Stampnms said...

Wish I could have seen you when I was there yesterday.

Debby said...

Love the cover. Have a great time at CHA. Will be fun to learn from you what you demoed.

SusanK said...

Loverly! But I find I keep spreading my sets across the floor when deciding what stamp to use on a project. I've nearly worn my binder rings out! LOL

Far North said...

I Love the 2 albums you have left behind for us to enjoy. But I must have missed something...I don't recall the wood like letters and numbers. Can't wait to hear more about them!

Linda said...

Your albums are wonderful! And you are right, Tim's idea-ology paper is yummy! Looking forward to getting my hands on some of your new stamps (LOVE that bottle) and some of Tim's new products! Have safe travels and fun!
Linda

Hels Sheridan said...

LME said...

Helena said...

The blue is just beautiful!!!

Why are they vol. 4?? Where are the vol. 1-2-3????

Cyndy said...

Both binder covers are beautiful. But blue is "my signature color'! Stay dry, and safe in CA!

Betty said...

Beautiful covers! The bare grunge is definitely cool with the blues. So nice of you to treat us with the reveal. Thanks for thinking of us. How about our California sunshine today! We ordered it just for CHA.

Kathy Eddy said...

These covers are spectacular! Love them both but the first one with the masculine tones is my fave!

Unknown said...

Love your 2nd cover with Tim's new goodies!! Gotta ask what blue did you use for the hearts, arrow & flower? Hope you are having a great time in CA. Soak up the sun and have enough fun for all of us!

Unknown said...

Love the binders. What is in the center of the flower on vol. 4? Is it a clock face? Where can I get one? Can't wait to hear of all your adventures at CHA. Stay dry.

Bevs3 said...

Luv both covers, both so different but equally fabby. Between you and t!m im going to be broke for the next three years. I can hear my purse groaning and creaking ooohhh nooo not more stamps,chipboard and inks!!!!!Have lotsa fun at CHA.

Dorothy said...

Love it all!!!
Have fun and be safe!!

Julie said...

On the second album cover, was the "490" cut out of grunge using a die cut machine then embossed? Another great idea giving depth and deminsion to surfaces! I Like the cool tone color combination of natural grey grunge with the blues and silver and how you used touches of darker blue with bits of silver metal to direct the eye through the whole design.

artbeckons said...

Well, they're all just so great but I think the one with eyes and lips is really cool! I love Teesha Moore's style but I'm kind of a vintage type gal too so I could see these used in some crossover art - vintage look with a zetti twist =)

jan metcalf said...

Love the blue!

Unknown said...

Those binders are both yumptious ... good enough to eat! Loved the first one ... a LOT ... now I love the second one ...a LOT too! I am missing you my friend ... you being in California and all and me stuck here without your new stamps to play with ... hurry home X

Art By Wanda said...

It does look great on there plain... awesome!!!

Unknown said...

I can't wait anymore. Allie from Croppinsville is offering your new sets at 10% off AND she's including your book! I've got to order the "Be Inspired ... Make Art" set, so if I win, you're gonna have to get creative! Have a great time at CHA!--Stephanie

Linda Lipford said...

Love this cover also and the blue is fabulous!

debbiek said...

Oh my Wendy! These are just gorgeous! The first binder has such wonderful rich colors. Love the flower, flourish and butterfly. The second is so soft looking with the pretty icy blue tone. You do such amazing work, it's no wonder you are on Tim's Team:) Hope you are having a ball, meeting tons of great people and have a safe trip back home. Thanks so much for sharing with us. We love seeing what you create:)
