Ann<\/a> has become obsessed with Steampunk Kids images lately, so she used them to make an art journal. For the background she used Tim Holtz idea-ology Backdrops Volume 4<\/a> for collage and sprayed Distress Spray Stains<\/a> and Distress Oxide Spray<\/a> randomly. She added some Tim Holtz idea-ology Clippings Sticker Book th94030<\/a> to the page and distressed the edges of each small piece of paper using Distress Crayon<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a journal page in her small but mighty Studio Light Creative Journal<\/a>. She used a lot of Tim Holtz products, including the THMM182 stamp\/stencil set<\/a>, a Photobooth<\/a> image, and Large Collage Strips<\/a>. She added small polka dots with Trinity Stamps’ Polkadot Pattern Background<\/a> stamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made an art journal page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal<\/a>.

Barbara<\/a> is already in the Halloween spirit and has created a page for her Art Journal using Tim Holtz’s Sizzix Leaf Fragments Thinlits Dies<\/a>. She colored the leaves with Ranger Distress Ink pads<\/a> and added several pieces from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2024 Halloween Layers and Paper Dolls pack.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a journal page using Tim Holtz Archives Collage Paper<\/a>, Distress Spray Stains<\/a> to create her background. She added stenciling using the Screwed<\/a> and Ringer<\/a> stencils. She finished her page with Engraving Layers<\/a> and Palette Ephemera Pack<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> created a page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal <\/a>inspired by wonderful childhood memories of her faithful best friend.

Maura<\/a> was thinking about adventures in nature and headed to her Small Dylusions Art Journal.<\/a> She used Simple Stories Vintage Woodland stamps<\/a> and their coordinating Vintage Woodlands paper<\/a>, along with Stamperia’s Forest paper <\/a>to create her layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps MONSTROUS<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Halloween Sticker Book<\/a> and Tim Holtz idea-ology Sticker Book Postmarked<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
