ArtsyCrafts and Tim Holtz

While the little one is power napping I thought I would get the chance to show some pictures of ArtsyCrafts event.... (She's up and I've collected Dillon from bus stop... it's grown into a pretty long post, just sayin')

 

WOW!!! I was there tee hee...

So, the morning began with a fabulous workshop directed by Leandra Franich the Owner of PaperArtsy Rubber stamps and the talented Lin...  Their Fabulous helpers are quite familiar too... tee hee like the fun Linda E, Essex Lynne (aka Cheryl {Cole}), Karen and Jo... to name a few. It was so well organised and everything perfect I am so pleased to have been part of it.

I bumped into the lovely Joanna K (aka Asia K) and we crafted the day together.

Our first project is this technique filled house piece, it was great fun...

A little close up, from this point I stained my hands a beautiful green for the rest of the day ROFL!

NOW..... here he is...

I KNOW!!!! That is me... (sporting a fabulous Craft Stamper Apron)... beside the Tim Holtz!

OMG! I believe this is when my brain and and mouth have communication problems.. LOL! I think I was getting pretty tired by this time too, a workshop lightweight :) I don't know how they all managed to teach 288 students!

Anyway, this will be my work in progress for a while, don't have the opportunity to finish it just yet, but will enjoy the extended fun of finding treasures to fill it and keep the memory going :)

My favourite things has to be making our grunge letter blocks seriously I made five before our tea break LOL! I think you may see a whole lot more of these.... Above is the word art with THE most adorable pink toy car from my bag full of vintage treasures and of course we received a ranger bag of products to take home, yum!

And this box says time to be free and fly...(well that's the idea) it holds an authentic letter block too, ha ha! My sincere thanks to Leandra, Lin and crew and Tim, Mario and Alain for this amazing creative journey!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hope you have a wonderfully creative day, BiG HuGs Kim ♥

Wow!!! so much to Share and ICS #21

Where do I begin?...... Firstly I feel so honoured that Kazan and Laura at 2 Sketches 4 You picked my card for the card of the week I can't quite believe it, and am over the moon!!!

Now technology is out to get me this month... first my telephone line down, which meant two weeks without Internet access and now I am having some trouble with my hotmail account and I am appealing to you all here to say I'm very sorry if you've received some unusual emails from me, it appears that my contacts list has been violated and Hotmail abuse team have currently ceased my account until the problem is solved. I hope this hasn't effected anyone and I can only hope they will sort it soon. Seems nothings really very safe but you're all very welcome to contact me at kimpaperbabe@yahoo.com and if anyone has sent me an email to my hotmail address since last week I'm afraid I am unable to read or reply to you, very sorry.

So onto my DT card this week for Inspirational Card Sketches....

Another fantastic sketch by the talented Dawn to challenge the mojo, well I was very inspired by Leandra's feature in this months Craft Stamper and just had to give it a go.

The sheet metal I have is self adhesive and so the embossing isn't as detailed as I would have liked. I had to de-tack the adhesive side with my stamp buddy. I'm pleased with the result and really enjoyed it. I have embellished mine with a vintage RubOn, how adorable are these two little ones? So thought the message went well LOL! Used October afternoon's fabulous papers again as wanted it quite fun and bright.
