Compendium of Curiosities 2, Challenge 9

Technique 9: Pocket Watch

Tim Holtz: A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. 2, page 35
Sponsored by Simon Says Stamp

Happy Friday, everyone! Wow, has this week ever zoomed by. Actually, 2012 has been zooming by, period, and it's amazing to think that here in the US, Fathers Day is nearly here. As you no doubt guessed, I used our Pocket Watch challenge to work up a little present for my dad. That's us in the grainy vintage photo. Hmmm... it kind of weird to be at the age where your own baby photo can be called "vintage!"

(Dad, if you're reading this... Happy early Fathers Day!)

I think the Pocket Watch from Idea-ology is one of the coolest products Tim has come up with yet. There's just SO much you can do with it, so many ways to make it a personal treasure, and I can't wait to see what you guys create for this challenge!

It's the second Friday of the month, and that means my sweet friends at Simon Says Stamp will be giving an awesome $25 gift certificate to one lucky, randomly-selected participant in this week's challenge!

 To be eligible to win the $25 shopping spree, you must include a link to Simon Says Stamp (www.simonsaysstamp.com)

Out of respect to Tim, please don't post the technique instructions on your blog! Any entries that don't follow this rule will be unlinked.

I hope you all have a spectacular and creative weekend! I'm looking forward to some quality time catching up on blog visits and (finally!) cleaning up my wreck of a studio. How 'bout you?

Hugs,
Linda

P.S. If you don't have them on hand, you'll want to get a bottle of Picket Fence Distress Stain, some Ranger Metal Foil Tape, some of Tim's Core'dinations paper, Kraft Glassine and Ranger Ink Refresher to add to your stash for upcoming challenges (not necessarily in that order). Also, get yourself a new Configurations box-- any size you like. I'll try to let you guys know in plenty of time when a challenge is coming up that requires a specific product beyond the standard Tim Holtz stash items.
