Tim Holtz - The Machine!

Have you seen them yet?  The new die cutting machine and dies designed by Tim Holtz?  These goodies are manufactured from Sizzix and can be used with other Sizzix products.  Oh I am so lovin' all the new stuff and to top it off Mr. Holtz signed an Ornate Die and gave it to me himself!  I guess I should also share that I wasn't the only lucky person receiving such special attention.  All you had to do was be in line at their booth first thing at CHA.  Had my roommates not been such big Tim Holtz fans I probably wouldn't have known about the giveaway until it was too late.

My BFF, Katie Renz, My Paper Haven, has already made a card with the new die unlike me who just arrived home and hasn't had a chance to create yet.  She gave me permission to share her lovely creation.  (See the last photo.)  By the way, the card she made is for the Clearly iStamp Challenge over at the Clear Dollar Stamps blog.  I simply love all the details of her challenge card.  Very inspiring!

Okay, that's it for me for now.  We just arrived home and I really need to unpack and get to crafting. What's got me most preoccupied is this crummy cold I managed to catch while we were out.  I hope you have a beautifully flu-free creative day.

Smiles and a sneeze,
~me
