It's a little distressing...

... If your name is Tim Holtz. Poor guy.

And you have a "fan" like me...




{To date, he has not taken out a restraining order on me... Uh, at least not in California. }

Hee Hee

No, no, no... NOT distressing, like STALKER... Distressing like... what we do with Tim's Ranger Ink products! This month, Darling Dawn "W", from WPLUS9, has turned ALL EYES ON Distress Inks! Lucky for me {love THEM!}, I'm fresh from my time with T!m, so this was ALL good fun for me!



Tim's ink + Dawn's stamps = a match made in {stalker!} heaven! See!




Can you say "STAMP! Sponge! Emboss, pearlize, shpritz and S-W-O-O-N!"

Thanks to ANOTHER terrific subject of stamping and crafting exploration, this month's AEO nurtured my inner ALTERED and INKY side!
Perfect Pearls, Tim's recipe glimmer mist and
Dawn's stamps, "Season of Thanks" & Woodgrain Silhouettes" satisfied my every use of distress inks! I love that Distress Inks, although dye-based are embossable! Combined with Perfect Pearls Powder, it's a glimmier possibility of infinite color and shimmer! Autumn hues and these materials, made ME a happy stamper and, hopefully helped to provide some serious inspiration to break out YOUR favorite stamps {hopefully from W9! hee hee} and get some ink ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Hope you'll check my dear and crafty buds who make Dawn's stamps shine like the finest diamonds, each & every month -
LOT'S of us got busy with these excellent products for the latest "All Eyes On!"

Meanwhile, I can't resist sharing just a few more pix from my
FANTASTIC day with the Holtz man, himself...
I composed myself enough to take some fun shots with my DARLING pals,
Clarie, Tim... {yeah, HE'S my darling pal, all right!} Missy and Dana! Don't we look like pals!



And here's our "prom shot!" {Yeah, we go WAAAAAAAYYYYYY back!}





{Is that HIS own stamp design embroidered RIGHT thar on his shirt? SO much cleverness!}

So, friends. I'll stop. {For now...} Once again, SHAMELESS! - I'm SHAMELESS!

Thanks for checking in with lil' old {!} inky me. I had SUCH fun participating in Dawn's
"All Eyes On" this month! I hope you will, too! Have a wonderfully crafty/inky day!

Ha ha ha... LOVE that first photo and you do treat them Tim stuff with justice! I do like how the Distress Ink looks and Dawn mentioned that they stay wet a bit longer so prob. better for me when I emboss too. So will go and get me some :) Awesome card as always, my friend!!!
