I want to share with you my first inspiration ...

the fabulous TIM HOLTZ

and I am sure that he has been the inspiration and continues to be the inspiration for many, many, many other crafters too!

I took some classes at my LSS and was introduced to Distress Pads, wow these were just so versatile and just perfect for grunging, distressing and making layouts look vintage. I have recently started to use them in colouring stamped images. I then very quickly started using Stickles I just adore the subtle or in your face effect these glitters can give you, and now Tim has brought out Distress Stickles in all colours of the Distress pads, ooh I am in heaven. Pop over to Tim's blog to get inspiration, tips and techniques on how to use all his products

I was checking out his blog the other night! Boy that man is busy he has been to so many shows, classes, demos, workshops, etc. all over the world.

He has an amazing new feature added to his website, Demo Vids which will show an amazing bunch of new techniques and product videos. I had a look and they are fantastic, clear and easy to follow, some of them take a little while to up load as they are coming from You-Tube, but please do be patient, they are so worth the wait!

As Tim hasn't been in his studio a lot just recently, (he has being doing a lot of traveling) I have decided to showcase some of his amazing 12 Tags of Christmas!

And just a couple up close ....

and just a few more projects that he has created (I love the Santa one, and he has used my new favourite weakness Distress Stickles, I just love that bling, lol)

All the above projects have a full set of photos, materials and instructions on how to make these amazing projects on his blog!

So if you have never visited Tim's blog, what are you waiting for?? Click here to be inspired to get messy, lol

Bella Vida

Let me introduce you to Norma Kennedy's blog Bella Vida, which I think translates into "Beautiful Life", from the moment you enter Bella Vida you get a feeling of freshness and beauty which carries over on to her creations. Just take a look at her header, I absolutely adore it!

The following samples of her work are all on one page, and she includes close-ups.

I went a little deeper into her blog to show you some more inspiration .....

and a few pics of where she creates ..... THIS WOULD BE MY DREAM CRAFTING AREA, wow!!!

Do go and check out BELLA VIDA, but be prepared, a cuppa or a glass a chocolate biscuit or two, I spent hours looking at her blog when I first popped on there! Take a look at her slide shows on her side bar.
