Compendium of Curiosities 2 Challenge-- You're Invited!

Pin It

I'm so, so thrilled to announce this new challenge series! We'll be working our way randomly through each and every technique in Tim Holtz's awesome new book, A Compendium of Curiosities, Volume 2!

Everyone is welcome to join in as we explore all the fantastic tutorials Tim created for his second Compendium. If you haven't already gotten yours, you can order an autographed copy directly from Tim and you'll have it in plenty of time to dive right into Challenge 1!


Thirty-five new techniques. Thirty-five weeks of creative awesomeness. And-- of course!-- there will be some giveaways along the way.

Please mark your calendar, stock up on blank tags, and be ready for the distressing to begin on Friday, April 13!

 (By the way, Tim himself chose Friday the 13th as our start date. Clever guy!)

Hope to see you there!

Hugs,
Linda

I'll be flying back from a week in NYC (Brooklyn most of the time)...so will be late or might even miss the first challenge. I've had the book for quite awhile, though. Guess I should get more tags, since I used a lot for the Creative Chemistry class.

Is it too late to get into this challenge? I doubt I'll have time to catch up on previous tags, but would love to get started on current ones.
