Aurora Bright Blue

There's a bit of magic in any great work of art, but you seem to have found the source of pixie dust. Faerie, fantasy, myth and legend are all sources of great inspiration for you, and you delight in giving others a glimpse of something far from the mundane. There's some part of you still playing with the Lost Boys, or dancing with Pan himself, and hopefully you will never lose that.

Cruise blogging

If you take a look at Tim Holtz's blog you will see his video of the Alaska adventure. When he pans around the audience at the end, I'm on the left, second row back...........hummm, I couldn't find myself, either.

And, this is the blog of The Creating Place a neat scrappy store in Juneau. They were very excited to see Tim!!

Cruising Day 7 - the final gift.

At the end of the session, Tim said he had a very special gift for us. He showed us this cute little suitcase.



He had it made just for us (remember, presentation is everything) to hold the special gift.



The suitcase was soooo cute and opened up......







A stamp made just for us to match the logo for the entire artistic cruise. The stamp will never be available for sale.



Tim was nice enough to sign each one for us. We were sworn to secrecy since ours was the first group to receive them.

Cruising Day 7 - Alaska Memories - a picture frame

So we were given a paper photo frame, a page of colored Alaska images and several pieces of clear acrylic. We used a glaze to adhere the acrylic pieces here & there over the various images. When dry (like 5 seconds later) we cut out the acrylic pieces from the paper & had lots of little acrylic Alaska images. We were given a grungeboard tag which we inked. We then used the glaze to attach the pieces to the paper frame.



This is Tim's example.



This is the one I did:



These are the gifties we received.
