I love Tim's products, so when he asked me to make up a sample for the CHA Summer show for his booth using a few of a his new and some of his older products I was delighted. To make this travel journal I used a newer french novel that I had picked up at one of the flea markets in Paris. I removed the pages using an exacto knife then put in one of his large ring binders as I wanted it to be easy to take the pages in and out. I secured it with the brads that come with it and also stitched it into the cover to make it even a little more secure. I covered the inside of the bookspine with grunge board that I had embossed with one of his texture folders and inked.
I used a mix of kraft and manilla cardstock and Tim's Destinations paper pad along with swatches of fabric to create the pages. Some of his new release items for this show that I used were his new Chit Chat word strips (LOVE those) which come in white and kraft, the Alpha Tiles, Paper String (love the striped) & Custom Brad Fasteners.
I also used quite a few of these items: File tabs, mini numerals, pen nibs, game spinners, sprocket gears, alpha parts, foliage, and word bands.
And of course, I had to use some of his fabulous stamps: CMS124,CMS102, and Going Somewhere.
One of my very favorite Tim Holtz products are his mini fastners. I could use those on every page. Well, it might be a toss up between those and his Vintage Photo Distress Ink pad.
A few more of the Tim Holtz products that I used were: Hinge Clips, Lavish Ribbon, Collage Texture Fade, Bubble Texture Fade, On the Edge Scallops, Mini Cabinet Card Die and Styled Lable Die.
