Tim Holtz Fragment Project

I have been wanting to do this project for EVER! Finally a product came out that made my job so much easier and it actually got finished!

I purchased this Tim Holtz ink storage case a very long time ago. I wanted to do the same thing to mine that Tim did with his, which is to add fragments to the case. This gives the metal case a bit of style. I just never got around to finding small bits of paper to attach to the fragments. I didn't want to use any big piece for just one small fragment and I didn't feel like my scraps all went together. Needless to say - it never got done.

Then I picked up the Tim Holtz Lost and Found paper pack on sale at Michaels and my problem was solved! Tim "the genius" has made using fragments SOOOO easy! I used 1 whole sheet of the 2" x 2" paper pieces and made all my fragments at one time all together so it wasn't a big mess. It worked like a charm!

These would work great for not only adding to the storage case, but for adorning boxes, covers of minis, scrapbook pages, mini album pages, cards etc. It is super convenient to make a bunch at once and have them on hand to add to a project.

You don't need to use the Tim Holtz papers for this either. These embellishments can be made with left over scraps on any project and just kept in a tin for future use on a project. Everyone has probably used the fragment charms but this shows a few uses for the plain fragments.

I love the final result and need to get more fragments to add around the edge to finish off the case. But so far I think it looks great! I hope you like this project and that it inspires you to create something using fragments!



Thanks for watching and see you tomorrow for more fun!

My Craft Room - **UPDATED**

Finally! My craft room is organized, my butterflies are up on the wall, Finn is behaving (well, sort of) and I have time during the day.......VIDEO!!!

I take you through my new room. Some things, you have seen before, some are new. I need to thank all the ladies out there who helped me find solutions to storage and organization problems. As you all know, scrapping is the best hobby EVER but boy does it take a lot of stuff!!! Finding a way to organize it so it works for you can take years. I am always tweaking my room and love organizing and cleaning it! (The only room I LOVE to clean! LOL) I am pretty happy with the state of things right now and will probably be content for a week or so before I change something else.

I hope you find something in these videos that helps you. I am sorry it is so long - I either have too much stuff, talk to much or have poor time management. If you make it all the way through - I commend you and thank you for listening to me babble for so long. You rock!

Also, Sorry about the B_____ Bubbly swear word but I just love that bottle so much and had to include it in the tour! Cute and Sassy just like me plus it has stickles all over it!! The bubbly bottle is from a pink champagne my sister-in-law brought over for New Year's this year. So fun!








Thanks for watching!
