This was the most amazing class I've ever taken! I just can't say enough about Tim Holtz and his partner Mario! <br />
We sat down to a plain pine curio case. Like the ones you'd find at Hobby Lobby. You know, that ugly pine look.<br />
We started altering the outside of the Curio Case. We used paper, sewing patterns, a new product called tissue tape, ink, and paint.<br />
After we all had our cases altered he pulled the cloths off of 6 tables that lined the center of the room. It was like Christmas!! Vintage trinkets of all kinds....and tons of them!! He said he gets a lot of these treasures on ebay in bulk. He had vintage kids cars, dice, film strip, light bulbs, computer parts, doll heads, game pieces and the list goes on and on!<br />
I made each box a theme. I made a box/square for Eric and used scrabble pieces to spell his name. I used a Pepsi cap (since he's a Pepsi guy), some computer parts, film strip and a vintage camera trinket.<br />
In my box I spelled my name out of very old typeset stamps. I used a Coke bottle cap (since I'm a Coke girl), a game piece with 41 (my age), a scrabble piece with my initial on it and a key that has the word Journey on it.<br />
In Tommy's box I spelled his name out with vintage game pieces and type letters, a domino piece, a dice, a vintage car that I altered with alcohol ink and a piece of projector film.<br />
The other boxes are various themes. One is a time theme. Another a bird cage with a bird and grass, a butterfly, and a few other themes or hodge podge.<br />
Here are a few pictures!<br />

He is such an amazing guy and he's so kind too!<br />
<br />
The first class was called Ultimate Alterations. We made a layred and dimentional grunge book. It's a bird care album/book. Not sure what pictures I'll put in it, but it sure was super fun to make!<br />

Next was Creative Blocks. We layred mini canvas and used inks, paints and for the first time I used beeswax. I love how this turned out! It was so fun to learn all these new techniques! I can't wait to get in my craft room and create more! I'm heading back for an all day class here in a bit! Can't wait to see what we create!<br />

Come learn how to make these hand stamped coasters. The class fee of $20.00 will provide you with everything you need to make a set of four hand stamped tumbled tile coasters. You will leave with a detailed direction sheet and the set of coasters you've made.<br />
<br />
I have tons of stamps to choose from, but feel free to bring your own stamp. The ideal size is about 3x3. As long as the stamp is smaller then 4x4 it will work.<br />

It's been since last July! I'm still doing lots of crafting and enjoying it greatly! I've gotten into a card group again. I'm doing a monthly stamp-a-stack with Sharon Armstrong. She makes the neatest cards! I love her classes!<br /><br />I'm still making my coasters and selling them. I had a good Christmas sales season and I still enjoy making them. I've been in talks with a local gift shop to have my coasters in. I'm just a bit hesitant because I don't want it to become a "job." <br /><br />My meetup group is really taking off. I changed the name to OhCrop! We're doing more activities and having a lot of fun! We're going to have some fun nights out as well as out regular one Saturday and Friday a month of scrapbooking. One night I'm planning is an evening of painting at gnosh.com It's where you get to take a bottle of wine into an art studio and learn to paint a portrait. I bet the paintings can get interesting with the more wine that is consumed. :)<br /><br />We'd love to have you join our meetup.

I didn't have any, so I came up with this design.</div><div> </div><div>I love the simplicity of this card. I also made one that says "Thinking of You." </div><div> </div><div>I like the green and brown together.

It is an item that the manufacturer has discontinued making. I've found some, but it cost almost as much for the shipping as it does for the item! UGHHHHHH.<br />I just got off the phone with Lowe's corporate and hope they will be able to give me some help to find another supplier!<br />Yes there are other tiles out there, but no they don't look as good as the tile I've been working with!<br />If you know a contractor or flooring "person" please pass their info on to me!Crafts By Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16767475011148042813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445942113758935514.post-27763081185649566852009-06-08T11:43:00.000-07:002009-06-08T11:47:24.137-07:00Coaster ClassDue to popular demand a coaster class will be held on Monday, June 15th at 7:00 PM at Clare's house.
