\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> made a dark rainy cityscape that still inspires hope with a reassuring quote from Tim Holtz’s Theories<\/a> stamp set.\u00a0 She also used Tim’s Halftone and Rings<\/a> stamp set, his Remnants<\/a> stamp set and his Cityscape Skyline<\/a> dies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> was inspired by a recent drive through a landscape covered in snow, and created an art journal page. She used a the Tim Holtz Snowflakes stencil <\/a>to create the background and various stamps, such as from the Road Trip<\/a> and Travel Ways<\/a> sets to tell the story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0In Italy it snowed all week and so for this challenge she decided to fight all this white with lots of color! She created a card with Tim Holtz Distress ink pad<\/a>, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Theories<\/a> and Tim Holtz Mini stencil set 33.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a> created a Winter snow scene looking through a window using Tim Holtz Window & Window Box<\/a> die along with the Snowglobe<\/a> and Home for the Holidays<\/a> die sets. The background was created using the Tim Holtz Snowflake<\/a> stencil and Mini Swirly Snowflakes<\/a> stamp set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>‘s panel is all about finding joy, whatever the weather might be! She used many Tim Holtz products including a weather related\u00a0Collectors Ephemera Layers<\/a> piece, the Umbrella Man die,<\/a>\u00a0sprocket gears<\/a> and completed the project with a Quote Chip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> was inspired by the saying “Raining Cats and Dogs” to create an Art Journal page featuring Tim Holtz Crazy Cats<\/a> and Dogs<\/a>, Halftone and Rings<\/a> and Alphanumeric Thinlits<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lols<\/a> was inspired by all the snow engulfing the UK and parts of the USA at the moment and made a Christmas card using an array of Tim Holtz Products<\/a>\u00a0including Distress Oxide Inks<\/a>, a Flurry Background Stamp<\/a>, a Merry Christmas Die<\/a>\u00a0and a Santa with his reindeers from a Village Christmastime Die Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena <\/a>is missing the Spring time with its fresh colors so she made a colorful card using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks<\/a>, Tim Holtz Leafy Stencil<\/a>,\u00a0Tim Holtz Sizzix Umbrella Man<\/a> and Tim Holtz Sizzix Cityscape<\/a> dies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a>\u00a0was inspired to create\u00a0a mixed media art journal page using\u00a0Daniel Smith Extra Fine Essential Watercolor Set<\/a>\u00a0on the background and decorated it with Tim Holtz Cling Stamp 2018 Theories<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra <\/a>had fun with this card, she used the umbrella man of the Sideshow stamp<\/a> set that hold up his umbrella up for the Paper Dolls<\/a> to keep them out of the rain that she added extra with the Degrade de Points stencil<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a> used Tim Holtz Sizzix Die Tiny Houses<\/a> and Tim Holtz Distress Paint<\/a> to create this little scene , she was inspired by one of her favorite quotes about clouds and dark times!<\/p>\n
