well happy monday bloggers! finally i am able to start sharing with all of you what i've been so busy creating for the last several months. okay, i admit, i'm not sharing everything today, but at least i'm getting things started by sharing some of my new release products coming out at the cha-2010 show in january. i am so excited for these releases and planning on randomly sharing new products throughout the next several weeks leading up to the show. so if you like a little suspense and creative excitement, then join me in celebrating what's in store for 2010. i have so much in the works and today's post will hopefully set the foundation - let's get going...
let's start off with something that i've been waiting for a while now...you've heard the rumors...yes 12 new distress ink colors. i have been wanting these colors for quite a while and they are finally going to be hitting the shelves of a store near you (i hope). you might be saying, "i already have 24 distress colors, what more could i want?". well see for yourself if these new colors will fulfill your creative wishes...they sure do mine, i'm sure the names speak for themselves...
next up is one of the things i'm so excited to share. something that i simply can't believe is finally coming to reality... i've teamed up with sizzix, one of the industries most recognized leaders in die-cutting systems to create my own signature line of dies, texture/embossing folders, and yes, a new machine. welcome to my new line debut - tim holtz alterations. i hope this line will revolutionize the way we think, and use our die-cutting tools and showcase the possibilities for not only thinking outside the box, but for creating an entirely new one. join me over the next several weeks as i introduce and share with you, this innovative line of dies and textures, to explore a whole new world of possibilities. maybe you're already happy with your die-cut choices, well it's time to make a few "alterations"...
and finally, the world of idea-ology is a world that i have created based on my personal creative dreams. a place i call my own, with products that challenge what is desirable our ought to be. this new chapter in the idea-logy line will not only explore, but evolve new ideas and artistic potential from the paper crafter to jewelery artist and beyond. just wait and see all that is possible with the world of idea-ology. think you've seen it all? hopefully these products will open your eyes to all the thoughts and ideas of idea-logy. you won't want to miss a single sneak peek more on that tomorrow...t!m
WOW - love the new colors! and can't wait to see your new die cut line...you never cease to amaze us!

Well that was certainly worth waiting for! Congratulations on the Sizzix collaboration and what sounds like fantastic new products from that line and the new Distress colors and new Idea-ology. I'm going to start a little fund now....

Oh I love the new colors! Interested to see the new Sizzix line. I'm a QuicKutz girl myself, so I hope that your line is compatible with other machines on the market. As always, I love to see what fun new things you have in your ideaology line.
