"ODE TO LORD TIM OF HOLTZ"

Hi to you all,
I bet your all wondering were I have been,
well I have no excuse to give other than,
a hectic work load & all the extras that Christmas brings to family life.
I hope you will forgive my absence to my blog.

Today I would like to show you my entry for,
simon says stamp and show blog
the theme this time is
show a Lord Tim of Holtz technique,
click on the link to read all the details of the challenge.

How do you pick? I can't there's so many,
so this is what I came up with,


I decided to make covers for my Tim Holtz stamp sheets
using only Tim's products,
I used, stamps, alterations dies, idea-ologe,
retro paper stack & distress inks,

I also used gray board, a corner rounder & glossy accsents.


for come reason the glossy accents
 hasn't shown up in the photos on the letters at any angle,
but this technique was one I learned from day 9
of his fab 12 days of Christmas tags
check it all out HERE there are so many cool ideas.


I think the rosette, piece on earth tag
has to be my all time favorite tag of Tim's

what do you think?
stunning ha!


I am disappointed with the picture quality,
the photos come out to orange when I use my flash,
but as I leave for work in the dark
& come home in the dark
theres not much I can do about it.

that's about it from me today
hopefully I won't leave it so long next time,
my creative mojo seems to
take a hammering at this time of year.

I'm off to link this up as I am almost to late to enter,
thanks for stopping by,
back soon,
Kat x.

  1. What a great idea! I've been wondering how to store the Tim Holtz stamp sheets and this is perfect! And I do know what you mean about how frustrating it is when you can get a good pic of your great work! Super job on combining so many of Tim's products and techniques on your cover! So happy you could join in the fun with us this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show.
