The "Design Emporium" is where we will do our crafty shopping from stuff Tim brought. Have I said I'm very excited yet????


Well, I am!!

Oh my, look at all the boxes Tim sent off to Seattle for the cruise. I wonder which one will be mine ;-)

I'm packing an extra bag to bring home all the goodies. I promise to take pictures of each and every goodie I get!!

We are on the Norwegian Pearl if you want to see where the classes will be...right next to the Stardust Theater.

Just heard from Tim

"the "studio at sea" will be our workshop room which is the Barcelona/Prague rooms on Deck 6 Forward. you will have access to this area starting an hour after all classes are over for the day and all day on wednesday (since there are no workshops that day in skagway). just a reminder that the studio at sea is an open creative forum with no supplies stocked, etc. so if you're planning on working on personal projects (since i know all other projects will be completed in class) be sure to bring what you need. also, ALL supplies needed for ALL workshops are provided for you by me - that's right, no need to bring scissors, adhesives, etc. it would just be taking up valuable luggage space need for all of the fun stuff that awaits you. see you all soon!"

Travel Journal & ATC

I finished my Travel Journal last night & love the colors & beads & ribbon!!!

I decorated the inside pages with leftover rub-ons, travel stickers and such. Plenty of room for Tim Holtz to put his autograph :-)

I really like the elastic that holds the pages closed & the base for the journal only cost me $1.99 at Goodwill!!

So, this is where I'll journal the daily happenings and clip on ticket stubs & other bits of ephemera so I can remember the moments when I get back home & start scrappin' the fun. I'm hoping I can get DH to write in it, too...I think I can without twisting his arm too much!!

This is a picture of my Alaska ATC.

I used holographic wrapping paper for the background to look like the northern lights and a great picture of Denali.

I popped a tiny eagle - yes that is supposed to be an eagle!! And I cut out totem poles & popped them up on the card as well.

The title of the card is Dena'ina - The High One. Also known as Denali and Mt. Mckinley.

Music Fat Book

This is the Fat Book page I've created for my ScrapGoods swap. Instead of choosing a particular person or type of music, I chose to show two ways to enjoy the music - through an iPod & a CD.

I had fun making the iPod out of black foam board brads and a plastic slide mount. I downloaded pictures of the screen and controls and printed them out & attached them to the iPod. I hope everyone enjoys their personal iPod!!

I was able to use several different brad & charm letters to form the word 'MUSIC' on the edge of the treble clef. The treble clef was cut from specialty paper. I decorated the iPod with a bead dangle.

I have to finish the back with my explanation of what I did & then get them sent off to the hostess - but I'll wait awhile for that..they aren't due until Auguse ;-)
