On Saturday I had the opportunity to sit in on a class taught by the famous Tim Holtz. It was 4 hours of getting inky and when we were finished we all had a wonderful start to an album.
The album is made from Grunge paper and we were given a stack of Tim's designer papers to work with. Adhering, sanding and distressing all these pages took up a huge portion of our time and my arm was worn out, lol.
It was fascinating to hear some of Tim's stories behind some of his products, he truly is entertaining. We got to use inks, paints, distress tools, trinkets, diecuts and more. It was a good overview of many of the products Tim has developed or uses. I am not thrilled with having my own picture taken but Tim was so gracious about posing with all of us crazy stampers!
If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with Tim, I highly recommend you do so!
That's it for me for tonight. All this computer stuff has given me a huge headache.

The album looks like a lot of fun Tracy! So glad you had a good time getting thoroughly inky!
Wow, Thrill of a LIfetime. How's the arm feeling!! I think Cheryl's and Lisa's are feeling the effects of all that sanding, but what a beautiful end product. Glad you had this wonderful opportunity, Tracy.
