CHA Projects...


I was VERY honored wen Tim Holtz asked me to design some projects for his booth at CHA. I cleared the decks of EVERYTHING... except my family... for a week and a half. I was able to complete 3 projects.

The first picked up on the sewing theme in some of the new products to create a sewing box... the mini fits in the bottom of the box...







Next, with a more masculine flavor, was a Mantle Clock.... the mini fits behind the "leaded" doors at the bottom











Lastly, I HAD to make a vintage valaise!... in the mini, I used photo's from my bother's safari trip to South Africa....










I had SOOOO much fun making these projects. Each of them used Tim's Configurations boxes for the base. As I told him in one email....I like to think outside the box...cuz I want use the box to make something!

I will video and photograph the projects in the booth and post them here on the blog and on YouTube. See you tonight!

    OMG Laura....you have totally outdone yourself....not sure which one I love the most....I have been sewing since I was in junior high, so I am going to make the sewing basket; I recently went to France/Scotland in search of my ancestors, so I am going to make the valise and WOW the mantle clock - exquisite - might have to make it just because it is so beautiful...truly hope you post some kits for these....no way I could figure them out....CONGRATULATIONS....SPECTACULAR

I know these are terrible involved projects but I would love to make the clock. I work well with just written instructions if you ever have the time.

    OMS! These are some of the most fantastic projects EVER!
    Just today, while constructing a 1947 gown for the play, Blithe Spirit, I was wishing I still had my sewing box with all the necessary paraphernalia at hand. Now I think: I don't want mine, I DEFINITELY want YOURS! (at least, one like it :D)
    The mantle clock is beautiful, my favorite aspects being the marble columns and the clear face!
    And the valise is just a 'gotta have it'! With my children teaching Swing Dance, they travel to Seattle (!) for workshops; wouldn't this be a wonderful gift for their instructor at Camp Jitterbug?! (I could 'stow away' inside and come to one of YOUR CLASSES :D)
    You are so clever and talented. Wishing you the best time of your life @ CHA!

    These projects are nothing that I have ever seen before. I can only thing that Tim was speechless when he saw them.
    I am sure that he could never imagine when he produced his product that someone could turn them into magnificent works of art.
    I love each and every one of them.
    I have to say that I need to make the sewing box. I have been sewing since I was little.
    I sure do hope that you consider making a pattern for that one.

    What I can I say that hasn't already been said, when I saw these projects all I could do was just keep looking at them. You told us during one of your classes these were probably your best work. WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! is all I can say. You truly out did yourself. I knew what ever you did would be fantastic, but these are best designed mini or albums I have ever seen. Not to put down Mr Holtz, but these I would have to say are even anything better than I have seen him do. You had to have knocked his socks off when he saw these 3 albums. I certainly hope you can maybe do a kit or instruction for them. You are the most creative person I have ever had the pleasure to follow. You continue to always amaze all of. Keep up the great work and I only wish you to grow and thrive in your business. Annette Aka Purplegirl092859

    To say that you are a genius is the understatement of the year. You are one-of-a-kind Laura and I am in awe of you.

    Wow, Wow, Wow AAAAMAZING!!!! I want to be in your creative brain for a day, please! You are so talented, you have out done yourself. I am know that Tim is happy that he asked you to showcase his products. You certainly did think outside the box and each and everyone of the items is superb. I keep going back for more looks and drool each and every time. I am sure that you will have many requests for instructions, kits, etc. please, please take a rest, bask in the glory and then....please, please teach us, lol (couldn't let you rest forever). I would love to make the clock for a Fathers Day gift as I am sure everyone else would. You are fantastic, did I say that before.

    OMG! Awesome! Everything that you do is incredible - but, these take the cake! They're all fantastic - and, I hope you'll consider doing a class for each of them. Personally, I'm partial to the valise one as my husband and I have recently returned from serving 10+ years as missionaries in Kenya and my son graduated from high school there and I would LOVE to make him this with some of the pictures he took when we took him on safari for his graduation.

    Hello Laura,

    I saw some of your video's in the past on youtube and learned from it, but I 've never been to your blog, until now...

    I don't know where to look first !!

    I enlarged every photo and savoured all the details : the use of the little boxes, the color schemes, the little details ( like pieces of photostrips where the bookrings are, the "world" map on a roll in the mantlepiece,...)
    honestly said... for me you are at least as good as Tim in inventing and creating !!!

    You have a large imagination, indeed to think out of the box, but what you create with it is stunning.

    you did this in a week and a half ? ... you're mad !!

    I don't know if you do classes, but I wished I could be in one !

    I greet you with great respect from Belgium !
    Inge

    WOW is all one can find to say immediately upon seeing these stunning works of Art.I have only recently come to your Blog but I'm not sure if I should run quickly back in reverse. People are speaking of having kits to make these. I truly don't think I'm anywhere near ready enough to attempt anything like this. Of course I can't really leave though now that I've found you. I most certainly respect your Talent and Creativity though.Good Luck at CHA. Can't wait to see a photo of the Booth.

    Laura, I can see that it may become very expensive to do patterns (if you are making kits as well!) and projects of your CHA super wonderful stuff.

    But please, please, please, tell us how you did it!!!
    Materials (like what size of the boxes, what paperlines...), how you did the textures, what new stuff you used, what punches/dies you've chosen and please show more of the minis as well!

    Do you know that you're awsome?!
    I'd love to hear what Tim said about your stuff! :)
