Hi my scrappy friends!
Well, I returned from a business trip to El Salvador on Thursday and it's been non-stop ever since. Here's a recap... Dinner out with my DH followed by a Blockbuster night, family visits, a birthday party at the beach and Tim Holtz.
Yes, that's right. I did say Tim Holtz. Last night, my dear friends and I took a class with Tim Holtz and it was awesome. This is my second time taking one of his classes (CKU was my first) and I must say that he ROCKS. He's entertaining and energetic, funny, professional, knowledgeable and inspiring all in one.
The class I took was called Nostalgic Memoirs. It was a 3 1/2 hour class at Scrapbook Central and we made this little vintage book.
I folded papers, created signatures and sewed them together, painted, used beeswax, hammered, screwed, distressed and glued this little baby together. I did all that! I don't sew so that was a little bit challenging, but it was a great learning experience. Here's how my little book turned out... Not bad, eh?
I even bought a cool denim apron and got it autographed by Tim. It reads: "Art is a chance for your creativity to escape understanding."
Thanks for stopping by! I know I promised to post some recent layouts and I have not forgotten. I just need to take photos and I will do that tomorrow...
Have a wonderful week! Peace and happy scrappin!

That album is so fun! I sure wish Tim would come to a scrap store in CO some day, but I won't hold my breath. I hope I'll have my project from Tim's class at CKU done and ready to show on my blog soon...but again, no breath-holding, OK?
