and the perfect place to hold all my favourite little TH bits and bobs
but it's time to move on to what's on my workdesk today and it's gone from the sublime to the ridiculous
my favourite snowflake die
my favourite glitter...in my humble opinion the bestest sparkliest glitter in the world and very aptly named.....Glamour Dust
no project would be complete without a bit of TH inking
no project would be complete without a bit of TH inking
my trusty Cuttlebug and lots of white cardstock.....so let's get die-cutting
and before you think that this super organised crafty lady is getting ahead of the game and making a start on her christmas cards....I wish....it will probably be a rushing at the last minute affair as always....why break the habits of a lifetime.
And the product that all fans of the Lord Timmie of Holtziness have been waiting for...to be released at CHA Summer and hopefully soon hot footing it across the Atlantic to the UK.....the new Ranger Craft Scrubbie....

Catch up with you all later.

Edited to add.....the Craft Scrubbie is what Tim was referring to when I e-mailed him about my Distress Inky fingers.....HERE
Your book is the nicest piece of altered art I've seen in a long time Kath. I could never come up with something as gorgeous. All my books are paper backs and they wouldnt work. I think a trip to the library is in order maybe. Oops - better try the charity shops instead.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day. Denise
Big hug and tickles behind the ears for his Lordship.
oh wow your book is simply stunning so love the attention to detail on this,love cheryl xxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteLove your finished project Kath it is really great.

That book is FAB. Well done you. Love the snowflakes, and I can't wait for all that Timmy/Ranger goodness to get to the UK either...
ReplyDeleteLove your altered box Kath, it's gorgeous. Can't believe that you are onto snowflakes already.... so organised. Might have to invest in some Glamour Dust as I like the effect on your snowflake dies. Have fun! Lainy x

ReplyDeleteIt's more lovely close up Kath, hope you're as pleased with it. I can see the sense of putting snowflakes into stock for later. But I wouldn't be able to find them!! Scrubbie? not heard of it..so out of the loop!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic piece of work Kath, love all the embossing on the canvas background, lovely colour and love all the bits and bobs, pride of place on the work desk I think.

What a lovely book - box you have made and I so like that it says "bits and bobs" - so cute! I am so glad to see that I am not the only one still using cuttlebug, it seems so many have gone to sizzix or big shot or whatever it is called!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Buddy

ReplyDeleteGeorgie xx
Oh and one other thing, if you are not getting ahead of the game then what are the snowflakes for??? G xx
ReplyDeleteA great reveal on WOYWW! I was scrolling through my google reader when I came upon your post and thought "bits and boobs" OKAY what is Kath up to now. Sorry, I just needed to read a little closer at the bits and BOBS part LOL! Been waiting to see how you completed your book...Wonderful creation I must say! glad you weren't flashing any boobs here LOL! I just need to focus my eyes quicker!
ReplyDeleteKath, I think all the adjectives have been used up, LOL. I don't think I have seen a more beautiful altered book! You are truly a talented lady!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful box! love the details- the hinges are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm rather late calling in this week. My day was really manic yesterday and had to end with a 62mile round journey to visit my neighbour in hospital.
ReplyDeleteReally love your book/box. It's gorgeous.

love how that book/box turned out :0)
ReplyDeleteYour altered book turned out beautifully with great detail.

Oh Kath, your box is simply 'Out of this World' beautiful - love it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tidy crafter you are, by the time I get to the embellishment stage I can't see my desk anymore.
Anger eventually removed the blob of glossy accents, so what have I WOYWTh - a little round mark with some of the veneer removed - oooops!!
I rather like my inked stained fingers, they don't look like mine if they're not covered with ink lol.
hugs Heather xx
that altered box is just brilliant - I would say "the dogs b*******" but I'm not sure Buddy would appreciate that somehow hehehe.
ReplyDeleteSam x
