Now, right away, I've probably lost a few readers- who are thinking "*gasp!* She's CHRISTIAN and she's watching that filthy show!!!" But, let me just say that while I don't condone TONS of 'crap' that comes out of that TV (and ours is almost always set on MeTV for all oldies- esp "EMERGENCY!" for that very reason)...we CHRISTians live in this world and have to pick and choose what we see, hear, and say. So when I am watching& reading (Closed Caption), I am doing the very same thing- fastforwarding, eliminating, or ignoring. But, the STORYLINE not only is GENIUS WRITING, but it also happens to be TRUE. The story itself is of a true "motorcycle club" where events written in really DID take place. So while I am not going to defend any of it....You are free to choose not to finish this post.
The fact is: the character of "Jax Teller" reminds me very much of our older Son, Brian. Not just because he has a motorcycle...that's really beside the point. :) And his Dad (ChiefHubby) and I used to have one also. We actually sold ours after we found out Brian was on the way; can't fit a car seat on a 2-wheeled ride. So when Brian got his, we crept over to his house and stole it for a day of riding out in the next county around the lake where we spent our dating years. lol! Anyway....

So here is my entry for Challenge #28....one for our Older Son, Brian, and a more feminine-touch for myself. I think the kids will be kind of shocked that Mom went out of her box a little on this one entirely- I really DON'T like leather (except boots, riding chaps, or anything to do with riding and horses, etc. ) and much less black leather. And the rose tatoo is waaaaay out for me. But Katey Sagal has one, soooo..... :)
The 'leather' is really grungepaper, paited and then coated. But it sure FELT like REAL LEATHER!!! |
I chose to emboss all the techniqued items. And made some tire tracks that look like skids on the road! |

Here, you can see how the layers really add dimension! |

Hi Lyla. Being a Christian also, I totally get what you are saying about living in this world but not necessarily choosing to "be" a part of things that offend. I think your tags are very dimensional and nicely done. Love the texture and the layers. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your tags with all of us at CC3C. Have a happy and safe Memorial Day holiday. <3 Candy
You are so funny! I love your posts and how we get to know your family through your blog. Your biker tags are so cool (I don't think i've ever typed "biker tags" before!!). I really like the way you employed the technique on your project. Nicely done!!
Fantastic tags with such great texture. Very masculine and well done! Thanks for joining us in the CC3 Challenge.
These are really neat! Love how you used photos on some. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CC3C.
