It’s here! My signed copy of Tim Holtz’s A Compendium of Curiosities volume 2 has arrived and I’m delighted! *doing the happy dance*

I am going to spend the weekend pouring over the pages and getting inky. It should keep me out of trouble until the Creative Chemistry 101 classes start on Monday 19th. Tim has just posted a video teaser and details about the class on his blog.

In glorious days of yonder, Master Holtz produced a most splendid range of Distressables! Books, 9×9 Cardstock and Doo-Dads by Design Originals. Finally my craft hoarding has paid off and I have a nice little collection of what I like to call ‘Vintage Tim Holtz‘.

Tim Holtz‘s fabulous Distressables books are jam packed with techniques, projects and inspiration. The easy to follow step-by-step instructions are illustrated beautifully in colour photographs.

A signature I would love to have in my Compendium of Curiosities book.

My mini avalanche of Distressables 9×9 cardstock makes me happy.

Distressables Doo-Dads are seriously awesome! The miniature images are perfect for sanding, distressing and using for collaging on dominos, bottle caps, slide mounts and other tiny altered projects… also great for ransom notes!
As these are rarer than an orderly queue at a craft clearance sale, I propose to share! I’m putting together a little bundle of vintage Timmy love to give away in my next blog post.
