Tim Holtz Classes at Stampers Ink

Finally getting a chance to blog about my amazing journey to Stampers Ink in Kansas to attend Tim Holtz classes. Actually the car ride down there & back wasn't so amazing, detours around Omaha & Sioux City were horrible very poorly marked! Took me out in the boonies somewhere in Iowa, but I did see some beautiful countryside!! The flooding around both cities is horrible, I feel so bad for everyone dealing with the flooding, my heart goes out to you!! This is a pic of a roller coaster road I was on!!

But I did make it in time to attend the reception Fri. night at Stampers Ink. What a wonderful store, and yes I did my fare share of $ damage there!!

Waiting in line to get in on Sat. morning...

I had Tim sign the shirt I had made on my Yudu and my art journal that I have been working on.

We were to make a scrapbook page for Tim and the scrapbook was presented to Tim on Sat. I had forgotten to take a pic of it before I left so this was taken on the hotel room floor!

Tim & Mario are so generous with their time, Great evening!!

First class Sat. morning was Creative Blocks where we worked with canvas, beeswax, tissue tape & embellishments. So much fun, I will definitely be bringing out my melt pot more often!! I have heard Tim say before to not over think it, ya right who was thinking sure not me!! I was so excited to just be there and taking classes from him I couldn't even concentrate!! Mine got finished when I got home!! lol

My finished project...

Second class on Sat. was Patchwork Pandemonium. Wow, this class was awesome Tim, Mario & Michele go through a lot of prep time for this class!! I couldn't stop working on it after class was over and stayed up until 12:30 putting embellishments on it and got it done other then the frame (which Tim also supplied for us) and finished that at home. So glad I was able to take this class!!

My finished Patchwork Pandemonium...

What an amazing day it was!!

I will post second day of classes tomorrow.

Have a good one!!
