Tim Holtz Extravaganza 2012, Part 1

Tim Holtz was back in town the weekend of April 21st & 22nd. I was fortunate enough, again, to be able to take all his classes. Over the next several posts you will get to experience part of this weekend with me. And maybe it will entice you to take a class of your very own when he is in your area!

 Don't let anyone fool you, this is the REAL Tim!

 This was our first class project on Saturday. Lots of fun, and it even rolls!! 

Back story: Tim was talking about how some people just don't "get" art. 

They would look at something like this and ask "What is it?"

And you say "Art."

And they say "What do you do with it?"

And you say "You look at it."

And they say "But what does it do?"

And you say "Nothing."

And then they get this quizzical look on their face....

So, Tim added wheels and a pull string to this one so it would do something:

ROLL!!

Mini Toilet Paper Roll Tag Book

One of our favorite doctors is retiring at the end of this month and I made him a special book with all the quotes we told him during his retirement party. This is the cover of that book. Later I'll post more pics and a tuturial of how to make a Mini Tag book using toilet paper rolls.

Valentine Card w/Pennants

This tag was made for a Scrappy-Bowl Challenge that was issued on Super Bowl Sunday by Kathryn Scraps. The challenge was to make something with a flag or a pennant...

Alas, I was not able to get this silly picture to load so I missed the deadline by 2 minutes!! Sounds like there was a flag on that play!!

Valentine Grid Tag

This tag was made for a Scrappy-Bowl Challenge that was issued on Super Bowl Sunday by Kathryn Scraps. The challenge was to make something with a grid...

Great News!!! This cute little tag won me a Martha Stewart Border Punch. Can't wait to get it and start using it!  Thanks Kathryn!!
