I met Tim Holtz today :)

I managed to see him do several demos yesterday- and each time he did something different. Oh to have his talent! He gave away some really nice pieces he'd made during the demos too. Sadly I didn't get one though!

I was fed up at not being able to go to the NEC now I am really fed up. Did he have his loverly denim work apron on

**Amanda S** · 12-11-2005, 12:09 AM

yep he had his ranger apron on, i was lucky to get a gorgeous tag, he seemed to give the piece to the person who asked for the demo

Oh Hils!! how did you manage to maintain yourself!! and hark at you flashing your necklace at him

Oooo Amanda lucky you to get a tag, are you gonna scrap with it??

**Amanda S** · 12-11-2005, 01:34 AM

Oh Tim's fab isn't he?! So talented- great tag Amanda!

MUST put Dawn Bibby's book on my Christmas List - thanks for the heads up **giggle**

Actually we should do a UKS book call it something like:-
'1001 Scrapping Ways with Holographic Wheelbarrows'
Subtitle: ' ...and all that bling'

I actually saw holographic peel offs for the first time ever at the show - they really are quite scary aren't they!! each to their own though - must say that Ms Bibby's stall was extremely popular, she drew a bigger crowd than Tim!

**CraftyBanshee** · 12-11-2005, 10:15 AM

Wow Hils! It must've been great meeting Tim

I think if I'd met him I would've picked his brains for inspiration & technique rather than snogging him. Can't believe you didn't get a piccie though.

Wish I could've got up to the NEC (was working and DH is working this weekend). I watched Tim on QVC last week (at least he got a word in edgeways on this show 'cos DB wasn't around).

Have you washed your hand yet?

OMG !!!! They need educating !!!!

**Dibby** · 12-11-2005, 10:49 AM

Shhh - when I was a cardmaker I bought a load of those holographic peeloffs - don't tell anyone

This is the piece that Tim made for me in Bonanza this year. The scan has chopped the edges off, it is edged with gold, and really lovely.

That Christmas tag is just fab, he makes it all look so simple, I agonise for hours over doing something like that, he takes 30 seconds!

Remember that the DB groupies just aren't properly educated when it comes to craft gurus.

No I so did not!!! He's lovely, and his work is FAB but not my type, bless him. And anyway, I'd have terrified the poor bloke if I'd tried!

Don't tell me that some of you ladies are more interested in actual scrapping n stuff more than pure carnal lust......... I must be on the wrong forum! You could always have distracted him with the snogging thing whilst grey parrot 'acquired' some stash! (Oh dear - I think DH has been away too long.................. I'm lusting after men and stash..... it's not natural - should only ever be stash!!!!)
