hey bloggers! hope you had a great weekend. i wanted to share some exciting news i've been holding back for a while now – just waiting for it to get close enough… well it's happening now! what? i have the great opportunity to launch a selection of "tim holtz" licensed products in select michaels stores! this is truly a very exciting thing for me and i hope many of you too. one of the most difficult things i've discovered through my blog is the limited availability of some of the products i share techniques on. i get emails daily asking where to buy my stuff – some of you don't have a local independent store to shop in, others say their independent store doesn't even carry my products. trust me, i know how frustrating it can be to not find the stuff you want to be creative with. well select michaels stores will be carrying a variety of products including distress inks, crackle paint, and stickles – plus paint dabbers, accents, and tools from ranger. my scissors from tonic. a selection of grungeboard, fragments, masks, tools, and embellishments from idea-ology. and a line called "visual artistry" from stampers anonymous which are smaller versions of my popular rubber stamp images in clear polymer – yep, clear! right now these stamps are only available in michaels. many of you have asked for my designs in clear stamps, and although not all of them are available this way – a great collection of them are. so next time you're out for your creative shopping adventure, check out your local michaels too – great things are happening there…
also congrats once again to the winners from last week's giveaways – all of the prizes have finally been sent out! it's been fun reading your comments and seeing some of your creations inspired by the video demos. i'm already working on next month's demo. i was also asked if i was going to continue sharing other projects on my blog with hand shot photos like before and the answer is yes, but just when the inspiration strikes! i've been busy packing up already to leave for paris on wednesday – the next adventure awaits. thanks for the support and sharing in the excitement of this new opportunity.
