~ Tim Holtz | Creative Chemistry UK Workshop ~

I was fortunate enough to be one of the few people who managed to get a spot on Tim Holtz's class at Art from the Heart in Harrogate. He ran the class 6 times and there were 24 of us in each class. It was a technique based class so it was all about learning how to create backgrounds using Distress products.

We go this cute little folder to store all our tags in at the end and a custom made 'Creative Chemistry UK edition' fabric label for the front. We were also given a few other treats too. The necklace to the right of the book is from his jewellery range for JoAnns store. Plus we got a tote bag from CHA, notebook and apron. 

The first 5 tags were created using Distress Ink, Crayons and Spray Stains.

These five tags were made using the newer Distress Oxide products.

My favourite tags were these two:

It was a fast paced 4 hour class but so much fun! The idea behind the quick paced nature was so we didn't over think anything and just 'got over ourselves'. Tim was a fantastic teacher, fun and so down to earth.

This was an early Christmas present from my mum and we had such a great day. Stopping over at the Premier Inn really meant that we were refreshed and ready to get inky. We are so fortunate that Art from the Heart is only an hours drive from us, I love going there for classes.

I can't wait to play with my new supplies and the techniques we learnt.

Happy Crafting!

GoGo Getaway | Lovely Liverpool Mini Book

I'm over on the GoGo Getaway Blog with a mini book created from scratch using Nancy's brilliant instructions. Head over to see the full book.

I've absolutely loved making this mini book as I haven't made one in such a long time. It has been a great way to document our trip to Liverpool in June.

Happy Crafting!

~ Inspired by Sam Ball | Charmed ~

Happy Sunday! I've set up at the Café Nero to do some blogging whilst I wait for the boy to run the Sheffield 10k. There are lovely views for the peace gardens from the upstairs of this café and its so peaceful there on a Sunday morning.

I had some left over stash from Sam's Class at the Birds of a Feather retreat earlier in the year so I used it along with some inspiration from her designs to create this page. Adding a few extra bits from my stash.

I love this photo of the monkeys just hanging around at Lion's Rock in Sri Lanka. They were everywhere but I loved how the mist in the background gave the monkeys in the foreground a great contrast. My Sri Lanka album is coming along nicely now. Hopefully will get it fully completed before the end of the year.

Happy Crafting!
