My homage to Our Tim...

First of all a mahoosive thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions for my birthday celebrations, we will be picking and posting a winner tomorrow.

I am cosily ensconced in a delightful snow covered cottage with my bezzies, just chilling and  the such. Wait till you see the photos'...well you are only 50 once aren't you.?

Anyhow I interrupt my shenanighans to give you my little journal tribute to the fabulous Tim Holtz, my boss and partner in crime at Ranger Headquarters!!! Sunday was not only a special day for me but it also marked the 10 yr anniversary of Tim joining Ranger. Yup 10 yrs, doesn't time fly.

For those of you who haven't met Tim, I can honestly say he is such a good guy. The help and assistance he has given me is unmeasureable and I most certainly not be where I am today without it. He is an extremely talented and giving artist and I am very privileged to work alongside him. I thought I worked hard but you that's nothing compared to what he achieves.

But above all I am also very honoured and extremely proud to call him my friend, despite all the pics and tricks we get up to, lol



He is like my annoying little brother, you wouldn't believe the things he gets up to and I fall for it every time. If you see him ask him about the boat!! or the UTEE leftovers !!! and many more !!!

So in honour of his 10yrs I decided to set myself a challenge today. To do loads of background journal pages using his products. Apart from the stencils and my white spray everything else is Tim's. The list is as follows:-

The fabulous Distress paints
Distress stains
Distress Pads
and tons of his stamps.

So here's what I have accomplished so far.

























I had a fab time playing and only broke off to do the essentials...eating chocolates and cheesecake, drinking tea and Desparados and of course this post. As you can see blogging is a very dangerous profession so I made sure I had all my safety gear on!!!


Why don't you try a page in your journal just using Tim's products and see what you come up with.

So here's to Tim, long may you reign my lovely xx

Enjoy xx

    Oh Dy, no wonder you and Tim get on so well, you are both "Bonkers"!

    Just emailed Your Ben and told him Angie and I are coming to the shop over the weekend (GNPE then you!), so might see you hoefully. Friday I think, so take care and see you then. (Angie and I will tell all at the Show where you are so they can call round!)
    Gorgeous Journal pages and the stamps look fab on your pages. Debbiex
