Here are the CHA projects that I did for Tim Holtz Ideaology booth. The first is a wardrobe trunk is created from configuration boxes and has two compartments. In the larger compartment, tags hang like party dresses. There are 12 tags, one for each month. The monthly tags hang individually on the opposite wall each month. Bingo numbers attach magnetically to the pocket watch for the day of the month, creating a perpetual calendar.
The second project is a box or field camera. This camera type was popular in the late 1800's. This version is also created from Configuration boxes. Photo's slip into pockets hidden in the folds of the bellows. In the back is a box file with space for more photo's.
I will post the monthly tags on the blog tomorrow. I am also checking on whether or not I can show you the Graphic 45 projects here on my blog or wait until they show them on their blog.
Both of these projects will be offered as video tutorials after the products used become available.
Thanks for checking these out!
Laura

ReplyDeleteWOW! WOW! WOW! Laura!!! These projects are fabulous! I hope you're going to teach how to make them. I especially would like to make the wardrobe. In my early teens I use to make paper dolls and and outfits for them...I've been thinking of doing that again and your wardrobe trunk would be perfect to keep them in. Hope you're having a great time at CHA.

Laura, these are awesome!!!! I want that vintage camera. Love it...Love it. Great Job.-emorena
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteNo words,,,,,no words.....no words.......,., That is just about one of the most creative idea's I have ever seen. If I just knew how, I would say I am speechless!!! Your trunk needs to contain a copy of Fannie Flagg's latest book "I Still Dream About You", A very witty tale revolving around a vintage trunk.
Wow! you are amazing, gorgeous project and I love..love..love...the camera, it's great! Bravo Laura, you are the best designer!
ReplyDeleteC'est fantastique Laura, quelle imagination, vous êtes la meilleure, la caméra est magnifique, bravo, je suis fan de vos réalisations. Bye...bye..have nice week.
Oh WOW - I think you have outdone yourself! Can hardly wait for these tutorials...both of these would look fabulous beside my mantle clock!.....trust you are having a great time
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing! Nice work.
ReplyDeletelooks like someone had a lot of fun!!! awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy husband was stunned and actually asked for the pair as he could "see them on our side unit"
ReplyDeletefirst time ever he showed any interest although generally supportive in the "if it makes you happy vein!!" This really could be THE one for the boyz!!!Looking forward to more!! Thanks Flower, Debb.
Be proud!!! These are fantastically dimensional bits of wonder!!
ReplyDeleteGood work!!
WOW! WOW!!! WOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSimply amazing as always! You're such an inspiration :-)
ReplyDeleteVicki
Oh my word!
ReplyDeleteI had to pick my jaw off the floor...
These are amazing and can't wait to see how you made them
I found you after Tim posted the Steampunk clock some guy made based on the one you made for a previous CHA. I can't stop coming back. You think so far outside of the box you are in your own world. I love it. I can't imagine how excited Tim must get- he thinks outside the box but not nearly as far as you do. I get so frustrated trying to find inspiration because so many crafters are making stuff that frankly is far below my skill set but you push it and I love it. My 13 year old daughter and I are about to tackle the castle as a "Queen of Hearts". She has never been interested in crafting with me (what?!? how did a I get two not-crafty kids?) so I am super excited. I might have to tackle the camera…I can't believe you went there….really I can't.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon you on youtube in December and haven't been able to take my eyes off of you and your work since. You outdo yourself with each new project. You are an inspiration to all of us. I thought I was going in the direction of jewelry, but you now have me hooked on paper again. I have madly been ordering all new products just because of you.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I can't wait to see what you will come up with next!!!
Laura, you are such an amazing designer ... just speechless!
ReplyDeleteWOW, I'M IMPRESSED!!!! Laura you are amazing, great job! Shari (cricutrookie)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! These are amazing...or let me just use another word hehe. I see amazing is being used quite a bit. How bout FANTABULOUS LOL. I love, love, love the camera and the trunk is terrific. You really outdid yourself on these:)
ReplyDeleteWhich is not surprising. Have fun at CHA.

Oh. My. HECK!! How awesome is this??!! WOW! That's all I can say! So I'll say it again. WOW!! I love both of these projects. How brilliant of an idea to use the configuration boxes to make something other than a shadowbox. I'm pinning both of these bad boys to my pinboard. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWalking the light fantastic I'd say - truly stunning, a joy to admire and from another galaxy by far. Fabulously original and bursting with creative love. B every proud, savour those masterpieces and have a great time!
ReplyDeleteThose 2 projects are so amazing! I would have never thought they were made of configuration boxes. I can't wait to see more details about these!

ReplyDeleteI said oh my god. I love it i hope you do class, and i wish i can aford to buy the kit and make it, as always you are the number one, you should get the first price, good luck, have good time in the CHA. You deserve it.
Hi Laura - You have outdone yourself. I will definitely go to the Ranger booth tomorrow and check them out in person. Simply amazing ...
ReplyDeleteThat trunk is a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura - I had just started looking at your amazing CHA Tim Holtz Project; when my husband walked into the room. He immediately sat down and started to asked what I thought you used to makes these projects. We probably sat for half an hour playing the guessing game and just pouring over how beautifully made your projects are constructed. The long and short of the story is....now my husband wants to help me build both projects once you have your written tutorials out. You really outdid yourself....and that's saying something when last years projects were as stunningly wonderful.

ReplyDeleteLove the projects... Nice job Laura!
ReplyDeleteAmazing designs! I love it! Try to glance also at www.gourmetrecipe.com. They have lots of recipe to choose from. Not only that, they have also sites that gives nutritional facts and tips to have a healthy body at: blog.gourmetrecipe.com. You won't regret it!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing work! I'm in love with how you used nothing short of genius creativity to create the camera used for holding pictures. This is something you could display in your house rather than placing lots of albums about. LOOOOVE IT!! & thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAlways impressed by your creativity of design! I'm so excited especially about the camera -- my hubby is a photographer and I'm hoping you'll be doing a class on that one. I think it would make a fabulous gift for him to display some of his work! Way to knock it out of the park...TFS!!
ReplyDeleteTotally, totally, awesome Laura!
