I {HEART} Distressing!!

Ok, I have to admit, I have never been much of a distressing fan, but that's only because I didn't know how to do it too well. BUT, I have since been inspired, and I am soooooo very excited to share this card with you today! AND, I am soooooo lovin' the distressing techniques and possibilities with the new Tim Holtz line of products.

So, how did I fall in love??

Patti, the wonderful owner of the Paper Maniac store is now carrying the new Tim Holtz line of products, which range from inks and paints, to large sizzix dies and impression plates, rubber stamps, and a whole lot in between. You HAVE to check out the store to see the new, FUN, stuff- more items are added daily.

Patti tipped-off us designers, on these super cool Tim Holtz videos on you tube, and that was it for me. Mouth on the floor and everything. Amazing inspiration. AND....now I can distress!! AND...I need to distress more and more and more. Oh, how hubby is going to love that! LOL.

SO, if you haven't figured it out already, our Paper Maniac theme this week is DISTRESSING!! Please join us in some distressing fun on the BLOG- the possibilities are endless with these super-fab products.

Oh, and do you see the cute little owl friend on this card?? He comes from the NEW Unity Stampin store kit for April. This month, there is an exciting new option for getting the kit (it's only available in stampin' stores, like Paper Maniac). The kit is now offered as 2 mini kits or as a complete kit. The mini kits are called: Total Cuteness and Sew Cute, and Patti has reduced the price to $19.00 each. You can also order the complete store kit for $35. Sweet deal huh??
