Meeting Tim Holtz at CHA!

Hey Archiver’s fans,

Just returned from CHA Chicago where I had a great time seeing all of the fabulous new products. I was fortunate enough to chat with a few “celebrities” as I made my way through “creative bliss”!  As you can imagine, Tim Holtz was completely surrounded by fans but was gracious enough to spend some time with me. I was excited to tell him about one of our upcoming holiday card workshops (Vintage Holidays) that features so many of his products. While concepting the cards for this workshop I discovered that one of my co-workers left a photo of Tim on my desk as inspiration. As I sat gathering my creative genius, I decided to practice a few of my favorite “grunge techniques” on……..you guessed it……….

Tim’s photo!

I think he looks Awesome…in person and on paper   Who doesn’t love a “distressed stickles” goatee or a “resistable” crown!  And of course I had to distress all of the edges using his paper distresser and distressed ink (Pumice stone is my absolute FAVE).  Thanks Tim for having such a good sense of humor and for designing such outstanding signature products.

Don’t forget to check out the video clip below, and stay tuned for more videos to come next week!
