Finally my hoarding has paid off and I have a nice little collection of what I like to call ‘Vintage Tim Holtz‘.
Tim’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.
My mini avalanche of Distressables 9×9 cardstock.

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.

My ongoing craft de-stash is proving very fruitful. I found some Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley stamp sets at the back of an over stuffed basket and felt a sudden surge of creativity.
In the spirit of change, I stepped outside of my vintage brown comfort zone and dabbled with a little more colour. I used Tim Holtz Bitty Grunge stamps (one of my favourite sets), to keep it grungy.
My Mum bought me some Dylusions Mica Ink Sprays which I absolutely love! I’ve become an overnight ink spraying maniac, frantically filling Mini Misters with ink ready to spray anything that moves!
Finding all these long forgotten craft supplies has given me a renewed sense of creative excitement. BUT, the naughty shopaholic inside of me is whispering suggestively about all of the delicious crafty delights I could fill the space that I am fast clearing with.

Kate Crane hosted last months Stampotique Designers Challenge to alter something you already have using Stampotique stamps. Unfortunately, I just missed the entry deadline, but wanted to share what I came up with anyway.
Everyone seems to be on a ‘Use What You’ve Got’ kick at the moment, and as cash strapped January rolls in to cash strapped February, I’m beginning to see the light.
I’m still on my New Years mission to clear out my craft space and have a jolly good de-stash. I’ve already filled 3 boxes with unwanted supplies that need a new home.
To my delight, I discovered some vintage Tim Holtz treasure hidden at the back of a drawer, which I will photograph and share with you.

I woke up this morning to a beautiful blanket of snow, pulled on my boots, grabbed my camera and rushed out to capture the winter wonderland. I snapped these at the park next to our apartment building in Geneva, Switzerland.
With temperatures dropping to -18 over the weekend, the snow looks set to stay.
Time to light a fire, shuffle into my slippers and get creative.
