Chris decorated a page in her journal using AALL & Create Stamps and Stencils, a Carabelle Studio Collage Alphabet Stamp, Distress Crayons and Dylusions Ink Sprays

Andrea made a house with a scribbly little character using products from ALL & Create and Tim Holtz.  The house was made with Tim Holtz’s Tiny Houses die and is accented with one of his Quote Chips.  She also used AALL & Create’s Gabriel and Quirky Circles border stamps.

Anna-Karin made a tag in brown and golden shades. The wood plank background was done with the SSS Woodgrain Block die and Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. The detailed flower die is the SSS Flower Cluster die.

Barbara was transported to the beach and created a little house for her girl! She used Tim Holtz Sizzix Seashell, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Sea life, Tim Holtz Sizzix Foundry 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder, Idea-ology Paper DollsRanger Wendy Vecchi Garden Patina Make Art Dye Ink Pad. 

Cheiron used some of her favorite Tim Holtz Snarky Small Talk as the starting point for her Framed Panel. She used Distress Paint, Worn Wallpaper, Paper Dolls and  Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Funky Florals 3 to embellish her panel.

Emma created a special gift for Father’s Day using Tim Holtz Vignette Boxes as a base. She used the Tim Holtz Foundry 3D Texture Fade to create a faux metal technique on the larger box and added papers from the Dapper Paper Stash to the smaller one before completing the project with a Trophy Cup.

Kath used a flower theme to decorate a Sizzix Eileen Hull Journal with Idea-ology Correspondence Papers, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Label, Mixed Media 5 and Funky Floral 3 Thinlits and Aphanumeric and Gift Card Bag to create the wording

Lols made a tag using a Tim Holtz Framelits Tag Set and a Cocktails Blueprint Cling Stamp Set. For the background she used Distress Oxide Inks and  splattered with Dylusions Black Marble and Altenew Frosty Pink Shimmer Sprays

Macarena left her cards comfort zone and made a canvas using Dina Wakley Gusts stencil for the background and Sizzix Layered Butterfly as the main element. She colored it with Nuvo Spring Green Mousse and Distress Ground Espresso spray. She added a sentiment from Idea-o-logy Snarky stickers.

 

Maura was inspired by the early days of electricity to make a steampunk/industrial style piece of home decor, using Jillibean Soup’s Unfinished Wood Plank, Prima Marketing Patina Effect Paste and Rust Paste, and Tim Holtz’s Foundry Adornments and his Sizzix Weathered Clock die.

 

Meihsia was inspired to create a trio of mixed media canvases using Tim Holtz  Cling Rubber Mini Blueprints and Copic Markers to color the images.

 

Sandra created an art journal spread and started with collaging the Botanical Collage Paper and added color using Distress Oxide and Infusions. As a fun detail she used one of the Acetate Words.

Zoey used Distress Paint and Paper Dolls by Tim Holtz to decorate these two sweet ATCs. She also used Stampendous Embossing Enamel to add some texture
