Tim Holtz Holiday Workshop

I was very, very, VERY lucky and was able to attend 2 (out of the 3) Tim Holtz Holiday workshops that were held this past weekend at Stampers Corner in Elk Grove, CA. I could've actually signed up for all 3, but I didn't want to make the book thingy that was the first part of day one. (Though it does look pretty cool as a finished product.)

Anyway, it was 2 days of whirlwind activity. Lots to take in!! The staff at Stampers Corner was amazing and Tim's crew was exceptionally prepared, as well.

The two projects that I made were the "Creative Festive Blocks" and the "Configuration of Your Imagination". If you go to the link above you can even see me somewhere in the pictures. Look real hard. I promise I'm in at least two of them. ;)

Both projects were a lot of fun to make and were a LOT less inky than I'm used to , but pretty technique-y. If you love his Tissue Tapes (or any tissue tapes for that matter) then these may be the projects for YOU! We used a lot of it!

If you go to the link above you can, of course, see Tim's gorgeous originals. But, here are MY creations:



and...



I really had such a good time. Just what I needed. Hopefully I'll get that creative juice flowing again. (Cross your fingers for me, light the smudge, say some prayers, do a dance...WHATEVER!!! OK?!?!)

And if that doesn't work, maybe having a picture with Tim Holtz will help me? ;)



Wishing you all well, and happy Fall!

All my best,
