...Day Two - Edumacation day!
So, the much talked about Tim Holtz class was EVERYTHING that I was expecting it to be - and more! w00t!
I can definitely understand why Tim's got such a strong following! He is an energetic, out-going speaker and he definitely knows.his.stuff! You can automatically tell that he knows what he's talking about and that he LOVES what he's talking about - which makes you love it too!
So today in class, we busted out the new lights and brights line of Alcohol Ink (yes, they're important enough to capitalize) and oooooh-wee! I WANT THEM ALL; heck that's not true, I NEED them! Okay, on to the project: We painted with our new alcohol ink pen (kind of resembles Copics) and stamped with our new stamp sets, using different alcohol ink techniques (tutorials are available on Marti's website (http://www.pezadoodle.com/). So if you have EVER been scared to try alcohol inks, now is the time to TRY THEM! Don't be afraid, the ink will come off (well, except from your hardwood floors, so don't play on that! The Mister noticed my sanded areas on the floor where I tried to hide the ink!) and you get such AWESOME things every single time! Aaaaand that's Marti and I with our new BFF Tim! w00t! I am loving how I roll!
Tim's Colour Your Creativity Class! So there's our little kits there, co-ordinating colours of alcohol ink in the new lights, brights and earthtones and one metallic mixatives, an archival ink pad, an felt ink tool, ghost shapes and the NEW alcohol ink pen! We also walked away with one of the new release STAMP SETS! Ooooh baby, yes we did! Okay, so the rest of the project: 
DO YOU LOVE IT OR WHAT?!?! So let's have a look, the first picture is grungepaper with the word CREATE cut out with the Cricut - as well as the flourish and then covered with metal tape to emboss - to avoid scratches and ugly marks, we embossed with a large blending stub. VERY COOL idea!

Sounds like you had a great time. You all will probly stay up late tonight with so much to talk about! I can almost feel the excitement.
oh my im so jealous!!! Tim's class project is wonderful! Can't wait to see what else you tell us about!
So I am one of those people you mention as being afraid to get into the alcohol inks. Well guess what, I think this project has made me want to get into them! I will check out that tutorial as I would love to create a project close to what you made in the class. Can't wait to see what else comes of those inks...
Catherine, Catherine...I am so darn jealous! I know you guys had such a great time and I love your project. Fabulous job! I just love all of Tim's stuff, he is super and he makes everything appear to be so darn easy to do. Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop, it is really like we are there with you.
Oh, how I wish I could have been in Tim's class with you! i know that I need all the new alcohol inks too! Your project turned out beautifully.

OK...OMG, I'm the hugest TH fan!! I love alcohol inks with a passion and have a few tutorials for using it on fabric and to make patterned pp on my blog. (Last year's posts, I think in June/July) If there are new alcohol inks, and a PEN, I MUST have'em!!!!!
