Project #2 (Tim)

This was an awesome watch necklace we made. Although intended as a necklace, I think I will be adding it to a project one of these days:

Who's ready for another Tim Holtz project?

Below is one of 3 projects we made at the education show. The show was open to internet and brick and mortar retailers alike. This day long class was my utmost favorite and VERY inspiring! I can't wait to schedule classes to teach those of you who live nearby some of these cool techniques. I have my soda can next to this project for perspective:

And of course pop/foam dots! (American Crafts, This to That)

This is a layout that is going in step-daughter's album for her children. She has 3 kids so the idea is for me to have 4 places for photos, 1 for each kid, and the 4th for a group shot or whatever :-):

Graphic 45 class

This was a terrific project taught by Cheri (spelling?), daughter of the owner. We were able to finish this class in the allotted amount of time (fortunately). AND...I think I will be editing the project to include paper and design on the opposite side of this pull out. I just love the hardware pieces G45 has in. The other think I love about their classes is they give you some wonderful ideas on how to used their themed and licensed paper:

a Tim Holtz class (or 2, or 3)

Tim's classes were by far my favorite! And, he sent us home with all sorts of goodies, including the new version of the Melting Pot (the one with a lid and spatula)! The photos below are the ones Tim made. My personal ones are the bottom 3. I had to pass on one class of Tim's because I so badly wanted to take a Graphic 45 class which was the same time as one of Tim's class (still worth it!). We worked with Glassine, paper resist, Perfect Pearls, Shrink plastic, and other multi-media favorites.

My projects below:

Black Friday Project Class update

The Black Friday Project Class is now called the Christmas Project class due to rescheduling of the date. Same projects, same everything, new date :-).

The new date is Friday, December 9, 2011, 5pm-midnight, $86, reservations via Paypal is required (Paypal does not require you to have an account to use their checkout). Below are photos of the 4 projects you will make and go home with. Plus, you get a mesh bag to carry home everything! AND, there will be door prizes! AND, the price includes dinner, dessert, and beverages.

The supply list for this class is pretty simple: basic supplies; LOTS of dry adhesive (but don't forget your wet); craft mat; the following Tim Holtz Distress Stain colors: Walnut Stain (or vintage Photo), Broken China, Fired Brick, Pine Needles; and an ink blending tool (foam pad) for each of the colors listed so you do not contaminate your inks. If you do not have these colors or supplies, it will be available for purchase when you arrive and at a 15% discount(check or cash only).

Diana is using Stampin' Up; I am using mainstream products which will be available for 15% off while you are attending class. Just tell me what you need and I will have the bag ready and waiting for you; you can pay for the merchandise when you arrive (check or cash only).


We regret the frame in the advent calendar project is not included. However, the frame is one of the door prizes.We further regret that the cute Christmas village is also not included; that is there to show an example of what you can do with the 25 drawer treasure box.

This is a really CUTE Christmas shape book which another blogger created. I edited it to make certain aspects of it my own. You will have a choice of either a boy or girl creeping down the stairs. A girl is featured in the above project:




This is a 25 Drawer Treasure Chest. The 3D "village" on top of this project is not included. Sorry. That is only to demonstrate how you can decorate it on top. You might already own a miniature Christmas Village at home. However, if you do not, you are welcome to bring your own paper (I also have cardstock for sale) and use my Cricut machine on the day of this class to cut out your own. The "happy holidays" banner is included. This project alone is a $45 value:
