A few week's ago, I went to one of my favorite LSS's the
Frenzy Stamper blog and noticed that they posted a Tim Holtz class, but it had sold out immediately! So on Debbie's blog post (the owner of Frenzy Stamper), I told her how exciting to have that class there, and I was sorry that I missed it. Well guess what? A few days later she emailed me...yea, Debbie emailed me from my post on her blog, and said that Tim was adding a second class on Sunday...and her store is not even open on Sunday's! (Isn't this like the best customer service ever?!!!) So, I jumped at the chance and called her immediately, and guess what...yay, I was in!
So this past Sunday was the day for Tim's class...MY first one ever with Tim! And boy, was it fun!!! He really is a sweet guy and the way he teaches is so fun and not intimidating at all! He brought all kinds of trinkets and goodies, oh my, it was breathtaking!!! Look at
Tim's post here and just imagine having all these goodies at your fingertips! BTW, I am in the 5th photo...on the left side in the Tim Holtz apron that I received when I ordered my signed copy of his Compendium of Curiosities book...heehee.
Okay, so here is my artful curio that I made. We sorta decoupaged the entire curio with vintage journal papers, Tim's paper line, dictionary paper, HIS NEW TAPES, and all kinds of goodies that he brought for us. We inked, we spritzed, we sprayed, we sanded, we distressed, we glued, we used his hardware pieces, we did everything!
The outside with all the hardware:
The items inside my curio are not random...the numbers and items have some kind of meaning from my son to my parents and family. It was SO fun to do whatever we wanted to our curio!
Open...
Thanks so much for such an awesome class Tim, and Debbie, thanks so much for such a FABulous party place and having such an awesome store with LOTS of goodies...SPECTACULAR!
