Jess has created a Tim Holtz vignette box, using Ranger’s crackle texture paste and Oxide Sprays, that is sure to have you dreaming of faraway places. 

Andrea made a travel journal out of a Dylusions Creative Dyary, American Crafts Gouache Paint (set 1), and some fabulous house stamps from AALL and Create: #191, #192, and #193.

Anna-Karin was inspired by the poppy flowers she can see from her window, to create a vacation-themed art journal page. She used the pretty Poppy Stamps Garden Poppy Sidekick Frame and Stencil, and colored the frame with Dina Wakley’s Scribble Sticks.

For Barbara, the sea is certainly the favorite theme during the summer holiday season! She has created a mixed media tag with Tim Holtz Stencil SplashTim Holtz Stampers Anonymus Rubber Stamp Coral,Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini,Ranger Ink Texture paste Transparent GlossTim Holtz Sizzix Seashells.  

Cheiron is ready to head to London at the end of the week and she created a colorful card to celebrate. She used Stampers Anonymous Citiscapes, The Professor, Noble Gent, Ticket Booth, and Nature’s Path over her stenciled background. She finished her card with a Ticket cut with the Ticket Booth dies and an Idea-ology Numeric number. 

Emma was inspired by a vintage photo and created a layout to ‘Remember The Now‘. She used an image from Tim Holtz’s Found Relatives set and surrounded it with an arrangement of Seashells and a Tropical bloom all resting on a bed of Art Stones.

Kath created a Vintage Traveller’s Notebook used perhaps by a Victorian Gentleman, one of the early pioneers of aviation using Tim Holtz French Industrial Paper Stash, Sizzix Destination and Alphanumeric One Inch Tall Thinlits and Idea-ology Snippets and Expedition Ephemera and Chatter Design Tape

Macarena made a cute nautical card since vacation for her is always seaside. She used sweet Alexandra Renke Two Jellyfishes dies for the bottom background and applied randomly Ranger Sea Mixed Media Powder. The boat got its vibrant red with Tim Holtz Distress Candied Apple spray. 

Maura thinks of books when she hears vacation, so she decided to make a couple this week. She used the Emerald Creek Spiced Market embossing powders, Simon Says Stamp Debra stencil, and Daniel Smith watercolors like Perinone Orange and Phthalo Turquoise

Meihsia was inspired to create a cork texture postcard using Craft’s Companion Cork Craft Material Pack and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Tiny Travel Globe Thinlits Dies

Sandra made an Ancient Greece inspired card using the Fairy Garden and Hollybrook Ironwork Moulds with lots of Opal Magic paint and the Waves stamp of the new Simon Says Rest and Refresh release

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
