Cruise to Alaska with Tim Holtz - Day One

These days I have been doing quite a bit of wandering, and most recently I wandered around the Norwegian Cruise Line's Pearl -- a good place to ramble about and also a good vessel on which to cruise around Alaska' Inner Passage.Our first day was spent at sea -- an unfortunately rainy, windy and rough day on the Pearl. The highlight of my day was a 2.5 hour workshop with Tim Holtz. The fruit of this workshop was an adorable little journal in which to collect our photos and thoughts from this adventure.I loved working with Tim's Grungeboard and crackle paints; and the Heidi Swapp papers he supplied were beautiful and perfect for this project! Eventually I will process the rest of my photos and add them to little gem.

I will post more soon, but you see, tomorrow is my birthday, and I have "surprise" guests arriving from out of town in an hour, and a "surprise" party tomorrow night. (So glad I got a heads-up on this one!)
