Anna-Karin<\/a> made an art journal page to celebrate the green shades of spring. The page was done in the Dylusions Square Ledger Journal<\/a> and the stencil used for the background is Tim Holtz new Labels stencil.<\/a> The view master reel was die cut with Tim’s Vault Picture Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> created a page using lots of Idea-ology elements: Word Plaques Large<\/a>, Backdrops Volume 5<\/a>, Palette Ephemera Pack<\/a>. She added the typewriter stamp that is part of the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Curiosity Shop<\/a> set. She chose two Distress Crayons to color the Paper Doll<\/a>: Shabby Shutters <\/a>and Carckling Campfire.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a page for her mini journal using a background of Distress Watercolor Pencil<\/a> shavings from her palette. Then she did some stamping with Distress Archival Inks and the Mini Media Marks <\/a>stamps, some pencil lines and some dots with a white Posca<\/a> pen. She added a Mini Paper Doll<\/a>, a stamp from the new Postmarked Sticker Book<\/a> and a Smalll Talk<\/a> sticker to finish her page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> created a page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal<\/a> using Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Abstract Florals<\/a> and Curiosity Sho<\/a>p, Mini Layering Stencils from Set 59<\/a>, the Simon Says Abstract Florals dies<\/a> and Tim Holtz\/Idea-ology Archives Collage Paper<\/a> from the new 2024 collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> matched a perfect couple by stamping Tim Holtz The Inspector<\/a> and Elizabeth Craft Designs Travel From The Past<\/a> faces. She heat embossed them with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder Fine Detail<\/a>. For the background she added plaid pattern from Tim Holtz Mr. Rabbit<\/a> and huge digits from Paint By Number<\/a> set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> created an art journal spread about her son and grandpup on an adventure. She used Paper Artsy Tracy Scott stamp<\/a>s to add marks, the Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background<\/a> for interest, and one of her favorite color inks – Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Citrine ink<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Set Of 12 Ranger<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Lovebirds Thinlits Dies<\/a> and  Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Curiosity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zoey<\/a> used Distress Mica Stain<\/a> to add color to her backgroud. She also used Distress Snowfall Texture<\/a> through the Crossed layering stencil<\/a> – Ideaology embellishment<\/a> were just perfect to decorate this spread!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
