My Tim Holtz Project

I was in a Tim Holtz class yesterday at the Crafty Scrapper and made this project.  It was a great organized class and I learned lots of new techniques.  I can't wait to play with all my distress stuff this weekend.  Thanks for stopping by!

Banner Swap

My craft group Swap Your Heart Out had a banner swap this month.  This is my contribution.

I used cording and painted chip board slightly larger than a shipping tag.  I used distress inks, stamps, and misc trinkets to complete.  They are clipped to the bases with tim holts clips so the words can easily be changes.  The letters were done using my Cricut.
Thanks for stopping by!

Missing in Action

It has been ages since my last blog post.  I have been crafting I have just not posted my projects because my life has been crazy busy.   Kids moving out, kids moving in, moving my craft room, vacation, work, etc.... Today my friend Rona and I went to the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington.  It was our first time attending and we had the best day ever.

I got to meet Tim Holtz (Woooo Hooo).  He was exactly as I expected he would be inspiring, kind, genuine, and adorable.  We were front row for his demos and we spent way too much money in the Stampers Anonymous Booth.

I  came home and was inspired to get right in my craft room.  I made a Tim Holtz inspired Graduation Card for my friend Nick.  It was fun playing with all my new toys. 

It is made to sit up with a little easel fold under the main flap

I added a little flip book with pictures of his family. 

Thanks for stopping by... I hope to post more projects soon.
