Getting Grungy!

Last night I had the honor of meeting Tim Holtz at Scrapbook Central in Coconut Creek. Tomorrow I will have the awesome thrill of taking 3 of his classes (Words & Windows, Distress-a-Palooza, and Paradise Found). I preordered this cute shirt which he signed. I was shaking so much as you can see I had a death grip on the "Getting Grungy with Tim" shirt as the photo was taken. Silly me! He is just as cool and down-to-earth as he appears on his blog.

Another crop creation

This is a layout I did with my great grandfather's photo. I have been told he always wore white. In this FORMAL picture he wore a pristine white suit with black shoes. It is real interesting that even though he ran a dusty cacao farm he was always dapper. I loved using Heidi Swapp products (clock & bling). I also used metallic acrylic paint to distress the tag.

Scrapbook Central Crop

I created this HOPEful layout while at the Scrapbook Central crop yesterday. For an inside peek of what a real crop looks like check out Melina's Vlog.
We had an awesome time catching up with all the girls there and seeing what everyone was working on. Thanks Michelle, Andrea, Tawni and the rest of the crew @ Scrapbook Central.
I used the Tim Holtz distress crackle paint on the chipboard heart (since I could not find grungeboard). I love how easy the crackle paint is to use. I recommend it to anyone who wants to add that little something to their embellishments.
