I’m sharing the final project that I made for the Tim Holtz idea-ology booth at this years Creativation, using incredible products from the idea-ology line.
Welcome to the sideshow… step inside!
This project is all based around this awesome photo from the newly updated idea-ology photobooth. With a massive 120 photographs choose from, this guy jumped out from the pack and I heard carnival music in my head.
This fantastic piece from the layered collector ephemera pack was a perfect fit for my sideshow. I added a hand from the adornments milagros set and a gear (of course), plus a mini fasteners. These mini fastener are the unsung heroes of idea-ology and I use a ton of them, so big shout out for little fasteners. The hand spins…
I lined a large vignette tray with paper from the 12×12 french industrial paper stash and added design tape to the edges of the tray. I mounted the smallest baseboard frame over the photobooth photo and added a handle from the mini hardware pulls set with “admit one” ephemera ticket underneath.
I used another frame from the baseboard frames, sanded, with vintage photo distress ink blended in and mounted over the top of a vignette box which was lined as the large vignette tray. I added vintage games pieces, idea-ology gears and the new hardware heads, as well as the cool palmistry hand from the keepsakes ephemera pack. I also added a decorative dome, I love these and was pleased to see them return to the the idea-ology line again this year.
In the interest of “keeping it real”… I wanted to include a photo I took from our hotel in Phoenix, the night before the projects were due to be handed in! I had tried to assemble it on my 11 hour trans-Atlantic flight and pressure and bottles of distress collage medium do not mix!
A big thank you to my roomie Vicki, [dig] that crazy chick, for helping me assemble the project. Teamwork in action!
Thanks for stopping by and a huge thank you to Tim Holtz, Mario Rossi and Paula Cheney for inviting me to be part of this years creativation samples and for all of the encouragement and inspiration they provide along the way.
I’ll be back tomorrow with my trip highlights. Thanks for stopping by.

Yay, teamwork, fabulous make! It’s funny how some of the smallest embellishments make us the happiest…Mini Fasteners, Hardware Heads, Hinge Clips…and so on…and are the most used.
Well, considering the pressures you were under, this sideshow turned out beautifully, the image is just perfect. The moving hand on the gambling wheel looks amazing and I just love those teeny bottles! Anne x
This one was truly so FUN!!! LOVE the roulette wheel with the hand charm, and then the hand…perfection! LOVE that you finished in the hotel…too much fun!
