Getting scrappy with Tim Holtz

Trying to stay on track this year and keeping up to date on my scrapbooking. I was able to make a few pages to add to my Etsy store and then I got one done of a very important day for me.

So most people don't get my excitement but in the paper crafting field there are some super stars and well Tim Holtz and Mario are 2 of them. So I have been a fan of theirs and keep up with Tim's blog and Mario on Facebook - weird? I think more true FAN :-) Anyway, awhile back I won a giveaway Tim did and was over joyed to connect with Mario to get my prize and was in awe back then.

So if anyone who loves Tim and his products knows that he travels a lot and teaches all over and I have never been lucky enough to participate in those cool classes. So every year Tim goes to the Carson Stamp Show and everyone who follows him knows this (don't think I am a crazy stalker - wink) anyway its about an hour from my house to the Carson Show and after convincing talking my hubby into driving me down there we made it and I stood in back and watched "him" Tim that is...and he knew his stuff...I mean I expected no less but it was pretty cool...then I bought some stuff because well Mario was manning the register and sheeplishly asked for a photo - I actually think I mumbled something in pure excitement and he honored me with a photo.

Here is the scrapbook page I created of the "Best Day Ever"

 

Boy I was so star struck!!!

 

Here are some photos that I took but didn't make into my page...

 

 

He was the master at everything Tim! uh duh!!!!

 

That lady in the bun was in that front row spot for a good 2 hours...wouldn't budge

 

I mean really - that's me beaming with him in the background...its as close as I could get to him...

No really I am just a huge fan not a STALKER!!! promise...

 

 

Ok - so in honor of kicking the year of scrapbooking off to a good start here are the pages I just listed in my ETSY shop...

Life goes on....

My goodness - this here blog sure has taken a back seat to life, lately. I have begun a new blog over at www.funkyanddamnnearnew.blogspot.com which is more of a blog about my 2nd favorite hobby which is finding and refinishing furniture and re-selling all my do-overs.

I plan on keeping this here blog up and running but if you want to see what else I am up to - you can check in on me over there...

I have been busy making some fun albums. Let me know what you think...

A recipe album...

btw- this use to say LET'S GET {CANNING}

inside pocket page with recipe cards included.

 

sweet pages ready for photos

 

this would be a fun gift for someone special or a keepsake of recipes that grandma left you.

 

Here's a Christmas album I just finished - with some fun colors and accents

 

I think this album just exudes HAPPINESS and CHEER

 

The colors are so bright and I love the coordinating accents...

 

I think this would work for a kids albums but also some hipsters would appreciate it as well.

 

Would make a great gift or just a place for you to add your photos of Christmas 2013...

 

I hope your holiday went smoothly and was spent with family & friends and that you have new memories to document.

 

Happy Holidays
