Tim Holtz is a popular artist and demonstrator and has been seen on the now defunct Carol Duvall Show, traveled
all over the world teaching and in many rubber stamp & scrapbook stores across the United States. He is a senior
educator for Ranger Ink and has worked in conjunction with several other companies to bring us some really cool product.

| Anna Hankins Layered Collage Pin |
My dear friend, Anna Hankins, recently has had the joy and privilege of taking some Tim Holtz class at the
Queen's Ink store close to where she lives in Maryland. I wish we had that store here in Ohio-looks like fun.
She created this collage pin using some of Tim Holtz products and I think it is so pretty. I hope it inspires you in
your creativity and to use things creatively together for purposes they were not specifically made for.
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Game Spinners~These are just a fun item...fun...fun...fun. Used in conjunction
with some of the other idea0ology products you can come up with a unique project for cards, scrapbooks, altered art, jewelry,
etc. There are 24 spinners in all in 4 different sizes and come in 3 finishes- copper, pewter look and antique gold.
It also comes with 24 brads. The sample at the top of the page shows a project using the spinners and sprocket gears.

| Book with Film Ribbon Tape |
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Film Strip Ribbon~This is pretty cool stuff. It is a plastic film strip complete
with punched projector holes to mimic the vintage projector rolls from days gone by. It comes packaged in a metal mini
tin and perfect for storage of the film ribbon and something else when you have used all the ribbon up. It can be used
as eyeglass frames- as shown in the sample of "art girl"; border on books, cards, scrapbooks, hide faces or other pictures
you want to enhance- so many possibilities. There is also another sample where I used it on the cover of my grunge book
from my Artful Voyage trip to Mexico with Tim Holtz. You can use glue to adhere it, paper clips, eyelets, brads, staplers-
many options. Pkg of 3 yards. (Check out the sample cards using the film strip ribbon & Audrey Hepburn stamps
at the bottom of this page)

| My "art girl"- Stampers Anonymous Stamp |
This is my little "art girl" from a class with Wendy Vecchi on the Artful Voyage to Mexico. This is
one of her stamps made by Stamper's Anonymous. She was stamped on grunge paper and colored using some Distress ink pads
and some paper nibs to add color to the smaller areas, like eyes, mouth and cheeks. She has the film strip ribbon adhered
with 1 staple on the bridge of her nose to simulate eyeglasses. I just love her.
Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Hitch Fasteners~I really liked using them in a recent project. Before I used
them, I kind of thought...why??? but after using them-they are pretty cool. I used them in a hole that would accomodate
most brad sizes- we then passed a jump ring over the "hitch" part and hung a key from another jump ring. You could also
tie ribbon from it, hang charms- just about anything. You can use to connect 2 items together also. This comes
in 2 parts- the "hitch" ball part and the screw bottom. It comes in a package of 12 fasteners in 3 different finishes-antique
copper, gold and silver.
$3.99
This was a black cigar box- some special edition one, I purchased form the thrift store. I covered
the top and front with Graphics 45 paper, used a Gr. 45 paper tag on the top (Mona) and gave her a lovely Articus Studio crown
along with the large and beautiful fleur de lis charm and on the right corner of the box, I used a small, rectangle
"create" charm and cut the ring off using the Tim Holtz scissors (they go from paper to metal-don't have to look around for
any other kind of scissor and they are great for cutting unmounted rubber).
I added the Tim Holtz hitch fasteners on the front as drawer pulls. There are only 2 drawers- the
top is not a drawer, but looked better with 3 fasteners than 2. The fasteners are just glueed on using Claudine Hellmuth
matte medium gel. The drawer front was actually too thick to use the screw that comes with the hitch fastener.
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Word Sticks~These metal sticks come with a word debossed into each stick.
The words include love, live, wish, hope, find, muse, time. hold, kiss, life, play and know. Each stick measures 1 1/2"
high and 1/2" wide. You can wear as jewelery, hang off books or other projects or adhere with your favorite Articus
Studio adhesive. Pkg of 12 stick.
$4.99
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Type Charms~I like the look of these- I am a big fan of pewter looking things and
the charm base reminds me of pewter although they probably call it an antique silver finish. You get 16 charms, 32 alphabet
stickers (they look like vintage typewriter keys) and 16 epoxy stickers. You can apply the epoxy sticker dome over
the alphabet sticker and charm and you have 1 great looking addition to a book, charm bracelet, necklace, etc. You can
also cut or punch your favorite paper, photo, etc. to add to the charm- it measures 1/2" in diameter.
$7.99
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Washers~Some things you like at sometimes and just wonder why...until you use them.
I used these recently on a project and liked them. They can be practical and functional or just another cool embellishment.
We used them in the practical application with a brad. You insert the brad over your paper or whatever, and then put
the washer on the back- it adds stability to the item. We also did a neat little fold on the brad leg, once we had the
brad and washer on - spread out the legs of the brad and then we used a flat head plier and folded the brad leg back onto
itself. It shortened it- nice trick if your item is shorter than the brad and also gave it an extra stability.
You could add them with jump rings to bracelets, necklaces, chain, etc. Use these when the hold in the object you are
securing is too big or to create the look of a faux rivet. Don't forget to use your Staz-on ink and stamp on them too
for a different look. These come packaged in 3 different finishes, antique silver, gold and copper. Package of
48 washers.
$3.49
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Jump Rings~These jump rings come in 2 different sizes and 3 different finishes,
antique silver, gold and copper. Use jump rings to hold things together, hang things from and connect things.
If you are not familiar with jump rings, you don't pull them apart- you open them by holding onto each side and twisting open
in opposite directions. You close them by reversing that process but just going a little past where the 2 points line
up, you then release it and then click into place. These are a little different finish than what you commonly come across
in the stores- typically just gold and silver- so they are a refreshing addition to your stash.
Package of 75 jumpr rings.
$2.99
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Snaps~Fun little item- great little embellishment to use as a snap or individually.
It comes in 3 different finishes, antique silver, gold and copper to coordinate with the other IDea-ology products.
Pkg of 24 snaps.
This item was discontinued and no longer available.

I used the Tim Holtz Snaps to embellish the top peaks of the crown.
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Paper Clips~These mini clips come in assorted colors of antique silver, antique
gold and antique copper. You get 48 clips in all. They are very cute, they measure approx. 5/8" high and approx.
1/4" high-about half the size of a regular paper clip and the same width as one. Use them to clip paper embellishments
to your books, scrapbooks, etc. or just glue them on as an embellishment, use with Stickles glitter glues too.
These are noew for 2009. Pkg of 48 clips.
$3.49
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Muse Tokens~ You get a set of 12 tokens, 4 each of 3 different colors, copper,

a word stamped on it that begins with the cut out letter. The words include: significant, excellence, journey, unique,
wonderful, moments, lifetime, courageous, thoughts, knowledge & genuine. They resemble a coin or an old subway token.
These are a great item to add that special touch to a special project.

This flower was made with a Wendy Vecchi stamp on my Artful Voyage trip. I added a muse
token along with with a Idea-ology flower charm and brad.

colors, copper, antique gold and antique silver. They range in diameter from the smallest gear- approx. 3/4" wide to
the largest at approx. 1" in diamater. Some of them are completely open in the center so you could use them as a frame.
The other 3 styles have center holes so you can easily adhere with a brad or just glue them onto your projects. Very
cool- a great addition to any project. (There is a sample closer to the bottom of the page using some wood blocks, sprocket
gears & philosophy tags & snaps).

| Corrine's ATC card with gear on it |
This is an ATC I made for the Tim Holtz Mexico cruise swap. It has one of the little gears from the set above on
it, along with a neat gear stamp from Stampin' Up and a face stamp - not sure who made that one but I just recently acquired
it at a craft yard sale and like it alot.
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Hinge Clips~Yeah! the clips are back. These are a great addition to your
1x3 glass slides to use as a bail to run your ball chain or cording through. These are also great embellishments on
your books and other projects. These clips are a black patina like finish. They remind me of the black patina
memory frames. They almost look like a silver under the right light- chameleon clips.
Pkg of 15 clips.
$2.99

or brass ox color- 8 tags and 4 tags in an antique silver tone. Each tage is stamped with a 4 digit number and also

$3.99
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Numerals~If you are beating yourself up looking for this product- look no more-
they discontinued it at the end of 2009.
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Line, Fragments~I used these on a project when I took a class with Tim Holtz at
CHA 2008. It was a great project- we took a square frame from Ikea, painted it using the Cut & Dry foams- which
was wonderful to paint with because they didn't absorb the paint. We added pictures, paper, alphabets to the back of
the fragments with Ranger Glossy Accents, set them aside to dry and made other things to put on the frame. The fragments
were great. The Rangler glossy Accents dried clear and they give such dimension to the project. One of these days,
I will have the project sample posted. Previously, I had used the pre-drilled fragment pieces on a necklace with paper
behind it. They no longer sell them that way so you will have to drill your own. They come in several different
sizes so are handy for many projects. I saw one of the Tim Holtz metal storage cases recently at the Stamper's Anonymous
booth and they had it decorated with the fragment pieces on it. They are clear and you can also stamp on them.
Use your alcohol inks on them too. You get a package of 48 tiles.
$9.95
Tim Holtz Fragments "Charms"~This is a set of 48 acrylic pieces in assorted shapes and sizes of
circles, ovals, rectangles and squares. They are clear so you can adhere them over a favorite picture, collage, book,
patterned paper, words, etc. to add dimension and height. These tiles can be inked also. Add to your scrapbooks,
frames, cards, altered books and projects and so much more. They will also makre great ornaments to hang from your tree.
Pkg of 48 shapes.
$9.95
This is one of the Framents Charms pieces. I used an image I had stamped and adhered it to the back
of the Framents piece using Ranger Glossy Accents. I then added the fleur-de-lis brass charm to the front-it mimics
the stamped fleur-de-lis image.
Another stamped image adhered to the back of a Fragments charm. You may have a stamp that you only like part of
and not the whole stamp, you can utilize it by using your favorite part with the Framents acrylic pieces. You can add
a jump ring to the charm and use as a key ring, Christmas ornament (use your favorite vintage Christmas wrapping paper), create
an art ornament tree on a tiny green tree and keep in your craft room for inspiration, encase your grankdkids pictures in
a Fragment and then add the fragments to a wide wood frame. The fragments are also a great way to use up smaller
paper bits.
Tim Holtz Idea-ology KeyHoles~The picture shows the assorted shapes and sizes of keyholes that come
in the package. There are 10 keyholes in all- 2 of each shape and also includes long fasteners (brads). They come
in antique gold, copper and silver (like a pewter look). Too many possibilities! (There is a sample closer to
the bottom of the page using one of the keyholes and sprocket gears).
$7.25
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Masks-Regal~You receive 2 separate masks, regal crown and an ornate flourish.
These are smaller masks and measure approx. 2 3/4" wide and 1 5/8" high on the crown and approx. 3 1/2" high and approx. 2
1/8" wide on the beautiful flourish. They will add a very interesting look to your books, scrapbooks, cards, etc.
$1.99
Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Line Flourish Mask~This is a beautiful flourish mask. The picture is
deceiving though, as it is large. It measures approx. 11" long and approx. 5" at its widest. What is nice though,
is you can use it in whole or part for a smaller project. Turn it top to bottom, side to side, etc. This is basically
a stencil. There are instructions on the back as to how to use the mask. It is easy. It has a tacky repositionable
adhesive so it will stay in place on your project while you apply your medium of choice (ink, acrylics, chalk, etc.)
over the stencil. You get 1 mask that is re-usable over and over.
$2.99
Tim Holtz Ideo-ology Timeworks Mask~ These are fairly large masks- but gorgeous. You get 5 masks
in all, the largest is the clock which measures approx. a little more than 5" in diameter. The 2 masks at the left
measure approx. 2 6/16" in diameter. The small gear at the right that looks like a steering wheel measures
approx. 1 15/16" in diameter and the solid gear measures approx. 3 1/8" in diameter. You can use all or part of
the timeworks and use them over and over again. Great for backgrounds or foregrounds of your projects.
$2.99
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Mask-Florets~This mask has 7 different items on it, lovely vine flourish,
leaves, 2 smaller flowers and a larger flower. As an item of reference, the large flower measures approx. 1 5/8" in
diameter. You can think of it as a stencil too and use to apply design to a smaller surface by rubbing, brushing or
spraying color to it.
$1.99
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Mask-Compass~This mask measures approx. 3" in diameter. Great mask to
use as the focal piece of your project or in conjunction with ships, shells, lighthouses, sun, moon and stars projects.
I think it would make a cool halo too.
$1.99
DID YOU KNOW.....When you get your new mask and it has a lot of little parts to pull off it before you
use it- like the compass, lay it on copier paper first and burnish it onto the paper. Then peel the mask off and all
the little bits will be left on the copy paper- no fuss- no muss!
DID YOU KNOW....If you mask looses its adhesive/repositionable ability- don't throw it away- just wash
it with soap and water, let it air dry and the adhesive comes back.
DID YOU KNOW......if you are stamping over your mask, wipe it off before you remove it from your project
and then store back on the storage sheet it comes with.
Tim Holtz Non Stick Scissors~ These scissors are manufactured by Tonic Studios. Before I had these
scissors I had another pair made by Tonic and just loved them- I swear I could cut straighter with them! Anyhow, there
are several features I like about these scissors: they are non stick, the handles are Kushgrip handles- large sized for bigger
hands and work with smaller hands too. The Kushgrip handles- if you squeeze them, they will collapse in partially so
you have less fatique with your hands. These scissors are resistant to rust and corrosion, a micro serrated edge for
great detail cutting and come with a protective plastic cap. What I like the best about these scissors is if you are
cutting metal and then want to cut paper, you don't have to change scissors! The overall length of the scissors (including
handle) is approx. 6 3/4".
$12.49
Tim Holtz Distressables 2~ It's finally here and it is great! If you have the first Distressables
book, you will love this one just as much. It uses all the wonderful Design Orignals line of Tim Holtz cardstock that
we carry. Some of the project names include: mini stitched booklets, enameled collage tins, distressed ruler bookz,
beeswax collage, custom art tools, dimensional lettering, projects using microscope slides and memory glass and much
more.

and sand your edges, this allows the distress ink to absorb better. These are sturdier and thicker than card stock.

small postcards, 10 small posters and 2 world maps. Acid Free.
