Arty Treasures are for enjoying, sharing and using for creativity, arts and crafts!
Make art to makes smiles! Its important that we all find our own way to heal our minds, soothe our souls, find our happy. Creating art isn't rocket science but it is pretty incredible.
I was having a day the other day, and it wasn't until I had almost finished an art journal page did I realise how rubbish I had been feeling! lol :) By the time the page it was finished, I was calmer and my headspace wasn't so cloudy. The page was a mess though... purrfectly cluttered chaos of beautiful colours!
I showed it to a friend and she loved it! That felt good too :)
So make lots more art ... because art helps everyone, both the creator and the viewer - even that art you think is a big fat chaotic mess, its still bound to have helped you plus someone else will love it and it will bring them joy!
Above : chaotic feelings within created cluttered but fun colourful artwork!
The quote I've used in my latest page says "sorry but the cat and I have plans"... Dyan Reaveley's wise words! Created in the large Dylusions journal using stamps, ink sprays, paints, scissors, collage medium, paint pens, stencils, glitter glue and Archival ink pad. Not quite in that order... the stamping was second after the painting of the background. More about this later, I've plans to write a tutorial :) Til then, I hope it inspires you to have a go and makes you smile!

Tim Holtz Halloween Idea-Ology ... an amazing array of Halloween embellishments and treasures for making display pieces and decorations will be here soon. Due to be shipped to Oz late Sept therefore hoping for arriving soon after... won't be long. Love those little storm lanterns and layers and candles! Everything! Imagine what Timhas planned for this next weekend, for the Christmas announcement? Squeek ^_^ … a little bit overexcited!
Tim's Sizzix Christmas collection is arriving in a few days ... all except the beautifully intricate Impresslit Snowflake and 3D Embossing Folder 'Arched' (the steeples or Art Deco one). These two designs will hopefully land at the end of October but might be later, so when we know for sure, I'll update them or if you wish, buy in advance if you are happy to wait without knowing how long. Thanks for understanding!
What's Next with Tim? Christmas in September ... Tim is releasing new stamps, stencils, die cutting templates, colours, arty treasures in themes for Christmas and the festive season, every weekend on his YouTube channel and website! So much awesome arty goodness from Ranger, Sizzix, Idea-Ology and Stampers Anonymous :)
Tim Holtz's Sizzix Update - Sold Out Products will be back one day ... Impresslit Butterfly, Perspective Butterfly, Matchbox Bigz and Potted 2 Bigz - and Candlelight - will be back hopefully in October (but the date keeps evading us, so until it's definite, they won't be available for PreOrder). Add them to your wishlist to watch the spaces, or contact me for further details.
Looking beautiful on my shelf are almost all the Distress treasures ... Collect them all and use together, layering and smooshing colours that make you smile.
