Polaroid Perfect

Hi Everyone!

As many of you already know, Tim Holtz is my all time favorite. I admire his creative style and love that he sets no limit to his imagination. I've been wanting to create this project for a couple of weeks now but had been searching for a Polaroid camera and was lucky to find two at my local antique store. I had designed a Polaroid film die cut for my AccuCut Locker Album Die and it was perfect. I was so lucky to have met Tim at CHA. This is my second time meeting him and he's the sweetest person ever. I precut this Polaroid die cut knowing I was going to add our picture to it, but it wouldn't be complete without his autograph too. I made sure it was die cut with light weight chipboard because I wanted to distress it after using his Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I altered the Polaroid camera with my favorite Crowded Attic collection by Tim and loved how it turned out. I didn't want to cover the entire camera, so I only adhered the design paper to the top and front of the camera. I embellished it with some of my Tim Holtz favorites which were the Fractured Doll, Word Key and Cork Vial filled with his Ball Chain. I had several vintage Domino pieces and added two Scrabble pieces to spell out his initials...TH. I also added two dices that I hot glued on top of one another and added a mini bird cage charm. I then fussy cut two butterflies from the paper stack and added one on top of the camera and one on top of the bird cage. My favorite part is our picture together which I adhered to the camera to look as though the picture was just taken. I'm so happy with how it turned out and this is definitely one of my favorites.
