New Time Keeper Collection, More Salvaged Metals
Filed under Art Projects, Caroline Ouzts-Hay, Giveaways, Newsletters, Steampunk, Vintage Vagabond Kit
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Caroline’s project that are still available on the new site.
A quick reminder before getting to the (amazing!) eye candy…
the Half Price Sale on Steampunk Collage Sheets (and FREE collage sheet offer) announced in Sunday’s Newsletter ends tomorrow night (Friday, April 24th). And that perfectly meshes with some gorgeous new papers below…
“To help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition I’ve created some postcards highlighting events from the Expo. When I was done making the postcards I felt like I hadn’t done enough. I’ve been itching to make a book accordion file so voilà, the perfect way to store postcards!”
Of course she did! Design Team Member Caroline Ouzts-Hay has exquisite bookbinding skills and I don’t think she realizes that not all of us can whip out a perfectly-aligned accordion book like she can. Caroline’s blog post today explains the overall project (and the funny postcards) and in the future she’ll have a tutorial showing the accordion book (to keep the postcards in).
Here is Caroline’s Supply List and see her blog for more info and more photographs!

Oldfashioned stuff, so cool!
Love Exploratorium…the name alone congers up endless possibilities.

Portfolio is my favorite, but it’s really hard to choose one favorite.
I think I like cogs and gears paper the best,, because I love steampunk and cogs and gears make such a great base for building. . Kinda like the foundation… you need a strong one for the build to work.
love air balloons….wowy
What a fantastic collection-and give away. Exploratorium is definitely my favorite-I could make so many things with those images.
Very cute!
I really like the bicycle scrapbook paper. My husband and I have a tandem bicycle along with several of our friends. This would be great to use for party invites.
Love the products, but the idea of putting it all together the way you did is fantastic.
Exploratorium is my favorite because I love hot air balloons.
My favourite Timekeeper paper is Exploratorium. Lots of interesting images and I like the mellow colour palette. Looking forward to Caroline’s tutorial, it’s a great project idea and would suit something I’d had in mind for a long time.
I must go with crowd and pick Exploratorium as my favorite. The imagery is really fun and quite charming.
My favorite paper is carnival. The image of the woman worth the cage skirt would make a great book cover.
I just love the Accordion file. Would love to this this great prize. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love all old paper stuff and so it’s really hard to pick a favorite, but if I have to – I like the vintage postcards the most!
Love the accordion postcard – would like to see tutorial!
I like marchant… lots of details to work with for tags,books, etc.. always find the old advertisements catch my eye.
Exploratorium is my favorite too. Can’t wait to get the tutorial
I love the Time Keeper papers they are so vintage looking. I love them all but I would say my fav is the marchant- I love old advertisements and this one also looks older with the coloring. Also, love the accordion book can’t wait for the tutorial.
these papers are all gorgeous
the marchant with the oldfashioned advertisements are so perfect for the vintage looks I love.
caroline outdid herself .. the accordion fold is so unique… thanks for the chance to win… love love your products
Very hard to,pick what is best on here…everything is yelling “pick me!.”
I love the black sheet with all the corsets! They all are beautiful.
All would be wonderful to have, but I like Exploratorium the most because the hot air balloons would work well with my plans for a “round the world” travel journal using my vintage travel postcards I have collected from my favorite Antique Mall here in Tucson.
The collage sheets are just the best.
My favorite timekeeper collection paper is the Antique Emporium, because I love clocks and which I could time travel.
Love this!
Love Caroline’s postcards and book accordion file! All of the Time Keeper papers are gorgeous but think I like the ‘Exploratorium’ best.
The paper I like best is Exploratorium, because of the variety of images. I also like it because it evokes the theme of journey, which I’ve been exploring in some of the pages of my art journal. I could put the paper to good use in that journal.
The paper that I like the best is the Hot Air Balloons, because I belong to painting society which is using this as their theme this year. It’s just so fun and whimsical.
The entire collection is a so great to mix with other papers for that
“vintage time traveler” theme! My favorite is the Antique Emporium
with which I would make dresses for paper dolls, and then add
3 dimensional clocks, gears, old buttons and assorted brass hardware
embellishments. Oh, yum!,!!!!
I love all the Timekeeper’s paper, but my favorite is Cogs and Gears. It is a versatile background for streamline embellishments.
I love all the Timekeeper’s paper, but my favorite is Cogs and Gears. It is a versatile background for steampunk embellishments.
I love the “Exploratorium” sheet for two reasons…I just made reservations at the Albuquerque Balloon festival in NM in October and love balloons, and the Exploratorium is in the Palace of Fine Arts from the 1915 exposition…thanks for the chance.
what fun projects for a rainy, April afternoon.
Love the new Timekeeper paper! My favorite? All of them. I like just about anything with a vintage/collage feel to it!
Pick one of the papers as a favorite. Are you kidding? They are all fabulous but if I did have to pick one, it would be Carnival.I’m a sucker for all those ferris wheel images and I love the dress forms and hats and vintage advertising and even a steamboat. Oh that Tim!!!
I can’t pick just one.I love them all!!
I love the Steampunk because it’s old and new at the same time! 🙂
I just absolutely love both the “Exploratorium” and the “Portfolio”. A couple of my girlfriends and i are taking road trips this summer. We are looking for all the sweet little Tea Rooms we can find along the Oregon coast. I will be making a journal of our trips and think this paper will be just perfect to use for it!!!
Great giveaway! I love the Exploratorium paper. It’s beautiful.
I love Portfolio because of its “worldly” images. So evocative!
I just adore this giveaway! I would have to say my favorite (Do I really have to choose?) would be Exploratorium. I just love the Ferris Wheel image! Thank you for the opportunity to win. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Love the accordian book. My favorite paper is Tinker. It’s just waiting to be made into a great projet.
I love anything to do with books, and this Accordion Postcard Book is really clever! They are all really nice papers, but I think I lean slightly toward Exploratorium because I like all the images on it.
oh Gosh…I think the Exploratorium is my fav…although they all have such great vintage appeal. But when I see Hot air balloons it reminds me of where I grew up in upstate NY, Glens falls would have the Hot Air Balloon festival and it was such fun. 🙂 Sure would love to win someday….
Olalla, gorgeous giveaway
Marchant – I love the old ads!
lovely
Love the Exploratorium scrapbook paper…it’s my favorite. Love the vintage colors and how these adventures are still carrying on today! Wonderful giveaway!
I love the Portfolio paper! Would make an awesome book cover. Cool vintage!
Ooh – love this so much!!! All of the papers but if I have to choose a favourite it has to be Exploratoruum 🙂
I love all of the papers!
The art nouveau page is my favorite! Probably because I like making corsets, in addition to making art. 🙂
I like all of them but if I have to pick, exploratorium is the winner. I love the vintage hot air balloons. There is such a nostalgic romance of the era where creativity was wide open.
I do believe it is a toss up between the yellow rose paper-because it is Gorgeous! and the one with the balloons and Ferris wheel- why? because I love Ferris wheels!!
I like the Marchant because of all the endless possibilities creating projects with the printed word.
Love the hot air balloons!
Love those balloons on exploratorium!
The Tinker paper is my fave because of the little pocket included on the sheet – how cute and easy!
It is so hard to pick a favorite! I pick the exlploratorium. I love the hot air balloons, but the diver’s helmet is just too perfect to use for a gift I want to make my husband!
Exploratorium! I want to redo my bathroom with a vintage hot air balloon theme. I love this collection.
I love all of the different collage sheets. I could make some pretty stuff with them.
I love all of the papers. Would love to win this giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity.
I like them all!
Exploratorium is my favorite because I like the ho tair balloons and the colors, plus the versatility of cutting the different cards. Mahalo for the op to win.

I love the Exploratorium paper. The vintage steampunk advertising looks like it will work well with many projects.
I am passionate about the “Time Keeper Scrapbook Paper – Carnival” so whimsical. I can’t wait to create with it. Thanks for sharing such fabulous “giveaways”!
I love the dark feeling of the steampunk papers.
They are gorgeaus for all kinds of projects
Beautiful collection! The Exploratorium paper is my favorite because the graphics are great and some day I hope to ride in a hot air balloon!
Love the giveaway! It is great that the papers can be used for Steampunk projects too!!
I love all the fun stuff, the graphics are great!
Timekeeper Carnival, if I have to pick one. Love the lady in the Crinoline!
I love them all but the Carnival is the most interesting and I could envision creating a fabulous mini album with these pages.
My favorite is the “carnival” paper because of all the old ads! I can see lots of cards made with this.
I love the timekeepers collage sheet because of the number of elements! So much versatility!!
Perfect addition to my “toolbox”!
such generous give-a-ways! I’d love to play with the bicycle collage sheet!
Art Nouveau, hands down!!!!!!
I love these but I’d have to say the Time Keeper Tinker is my favorite!
I love the circus scrapbook paper, as I love vintage corsets and the old time circus images.
My favorite is the Carnival, I’ve always loved the history and the old artwork for the carnivals before my time. I could do so many things with this sheet alone, plus it just makes me smile.
Hummm, I think I would like the Exploratorium. I just love those ballons. Thank you!!
What would I do? I know what I’d like to do…I’d like to climb right into the paper & “join the crowd”! 🙂 Don’t have the words for how cool this is!
