It was really a lot of fun doing the embellishment layering...
We maya misted the letters and blue flowers over plain chipboard. I have tons of Maya Mist, but I've never tried it on plain chipboard before, and I was truly impressed with how bright and true the colors were! The coverage was fantastic, and it dried almost instantly!
The kit we got to take home was one of, if not THE best of the whole weekend! Take a look...
And, you can't really see it in the photo, but it came in a super cool blue coated box which is made for misting in! Yeayyy!!!Next was the only class that all four of us took together - The Ranger/Tim Holtz "Key to Creativity" mini-album, taught by none other than Tim himself!
I have to say that of all the workshops I attended, Tim was the most inspiring speaker. He's fun to listen to and really makes you feel like you can do anything; and he shows you all kinds of things you can do with his products!
Here's Christina at the class...
and Anne and Lynn...
and here is the super groovy little album we made! We used a number of colors of distress ink to decorate the cover. I used barn door and wild honey. I just LOVE how it turned out!
These little pieces of filmstrip ribbon are just the right size for those index pics that come back from the photoshop...
I never thought I needed a tiny attacher, but after using one in this class I had to go right out and buy one - they are awesome!!!
We got a great class kit to take home AND we each got a full-size package of grungeboard flourishes AND a new package of texture fades embossing folders! SO FUN!
Here we all are with Tim...
After that there was one more class - the Unity Stamps "Everything Matters" mini album. I didn't get very far on my album - I was too busy playing with all the stamps - ha! But it's going to be really cute - and we each got a stamp and the class kit to take home.
Scrapfest 2010 was the best ever for me, and I can't wait for next year!
Thanks so much for visiting and I will see you again soon!
I wish I could come with you next year - who knows (if I win the lottery? HA! Wouldn't that be awesome?!!) I love the Tim Holtz album!!! I'm not a banner-lover but I should buy me maya mist... and maybe a tiny stapler? I clicked on the link and I love the tiny little thing!

ReplyDeleteHeh, I did exactly the same thing, had to go and get the tiny attacher. Now I'm hoping he comes out with different colored staples.
ReplyDeleteOMG I love Tim. I took classes from him at CKU Detroit '07 and at Creative Escape '08. Sooo inspiring...and now that I have a BigKick, I've got several of his embossing folders. LOVE them! Scrapfest looks like a ton of fun.
