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...

 

for the sweet pup in your life!

Just In time

Scrapbooking, for me, is usually done a bit after the holiday that has just past or the vacation once the photos are printed or developed. Lately, seems I am way off, like months off. But I have learned not to stress about it. Recently, I made some cool Halloween pages that I had fun making with some papers and embellishments by Glitz designs

Aren't these fun and retro looking?

I think I'm in love. Best part is - you Just Add Photos - easy - these are up in my shop if you are so inclined😊

Happy scrapping

Sometimes I forget to blog, sometimes I don't want to blog, sometimes I have nothing to say. It's odd because I started this blog to share my crafty projects...and I make something new everyday - so I do have something to blog about but I just don't BLOG. Ughhhhhh! What to do?

With that aside - I have been having fun making random scrapbook pages - not pages for me but more for SALE - I have this thing about selling things that I would want to buy. You know something really well made, something that you could give as a gift, and something that is reasonably priced. So let me share my newest pages

I used a new kit from PEBBLES and it came with a bunch of cool stickers and embellishments.

I like to make pages to showcase one important photo and not a bunch of little ones - I think it makes a bigger statement. Besides a fresh new baby is something to celebrate and drool over right.

I am listing these 2 pages in my etsy shops...visit me at one crafty mess 

I am linking this up to the challenges above.  Happy Monday folks...

The Show

was a total success. Thanks to all my lovely customers friends who stopped by and visited for a bit, shopped and those of you who hung out and talked with me. I really enjoyed seeing you all and appreciate your support.

 I have a problem with taking photos of my booth before sales start and especially one with me in it. So I have shots of my booth during a quite time with a lot of things already sold - hence the  emptiness of it all.

 

the bottom rack of pillows (with words on them) was filled with burlap pillows - simply made but quickly desired...weird and I only made a few. Hate when that happens.

 

Here are the table tops and whats left of my products.

 

 

 

Here is that cool booth set up I made with not much left on it for display.

 

Here is the left over scrapbooks I had - I was so considering not doing them this year but I'm glad I did because people loved them and bought them.

It warms my heart to know  that people are still scrapbooking.

 

I wanted to share another cool project I made for Halloween scrapbooking...

 

I found a super cool white metal easel and made some scrapbook pages to fit and hang from the easel so you could easily share your Halloween past photos or add this years to it.

 

If you used some repositionable tape you could totally use this year after year

and add new photos to it...

 

I love the colors of this and the details - and so as not to overload this post I only shared 3 layouts but this comes with 10 total.

I have it listed in my ebay shop if you are interested in it.

 

Well here's wishing you a wonderful Halloween night and a crafty week.

 

I will be linking up my scrapbooking easel to the parties in my linky up top.

 

 

Scrappy love

Oh my sweet scrapbooks have so been ignored as of late...well I was finally able to get a layout done & I am glad I did.

I scrapped a LO of photos of my hubbs & I - reflecting on our past 13 years together...I am super happy with the way it came out!!!!

Hope to get more layouts done soon -especially my project life album!!

Have a great weekend! XO 😘
