    I am envisioning a flying bed! Maybe something similar to Bedknobs and Broomsticks or maybe just something out of this scary thing I call a brain! Such a great assortment of goodies in the prize package! Lots of fun for the winner!

  3. Beth Ervin says:

    First and foremost, the Tim Holtz Sepia Paper Dolls. These look like a blast for art journaling!

    It’s for manly men. Ah, but I like it too.

    Oooo! Super cool! I see lots of mixed media potential in the Tim Holtz collection!

  6. Michelle B. says:

    Hah! I’ve been waiting for the mini pulley wheels! I want to use them
    on a small cigar box steampunk project. The French Design Tape Set
    would be the another great embellishment for that project! Yay!!!!!

  7. Michelle says:

    I love the rulers, I would use them first , with the dolls….in a project as yet unimagined.

  8. Joan Allard says:

    Couldn’t pick just one Tim Holtz item; the Mission Style bed will be fun to work with.

  9. judy golden says:

    Oh these would make great Fathers Day cards, something so different for sure.

  10. Kat Cashwell says:

    I love Tim Holtz stuff!! I would use the vintage paper dolls first – those are so cool! Then I would use the rest of his stuff!

  11. Lorna E says:

    I love this theme! I would use the vintage paper dolls on an art journal project I have in mind.

  12. Jennie Ingram says:

    I’d totally find a way to play with the ruler pieces first! 🙂

  13. Lou Anne says:

    I love the paper dolls and the rulers so I’d have to use them together somehow!

  14. Ellen Seagren says:

    I would use the paper dolls and wooden rulers for cards. I love using vintage images and the rules would be great for edging. These would be great for cards for my grown sons. Lovely stuff!

  15. Emily Ann says:

    The rulers for sure in collage.!

  16. Traci says:

    Big fan of Tim Holtz & love his new stuff-the paper dolls are so cute with lots of possibilities. >^..^<

  17. I love this I would use the bed first and decorate it I would make a diorama for my son’s room. Thanks

  18. Gay says:

    It would be the wood rulers and the bed! My son is a carpenter and I am currently making a journal for him that will have the look of being very old. This would be great to incorporate in this book.
    Thanks!

  19. Jan K says:

    The TH paperdolls maybe in a bedroom with the baseball cards hung on the wall. Love this theme!

  20. Gina Goodling says:

    I love finding new found relatives and adding to tags with humorous quotes! I am such a big fan of these Manly Men images, too! Exciting new products all the way around.

  21. Dona Mandell says:

    Love it all but would use the antique doll paper for papering a mini box with small antique (or reproductions) toys and dolls.

  22. Della says:

    I would use the bed first I think. So many possibilities😊

  23. Kathlene Ford-Walters says:

    Wooden ruler pieces would be my go to first item. I think I’d work on a sectioned box and do something masculine.

  24. Peg D says:

    Oh I am such a ruler freak. I don’t know why but I save old rulers and yard sticks lol. I would have to do something right off with those rulers. This a great stuff bc there isn’t a lot of guy related stuff out there. I love this! Maybe a shadow box for my daughter who has a grown boy she would really love it. That little mitt and baseball bat.
    I wish you had soccer balls too!

  25. Vera Collier says:

    Where would I start? I am loving the idea of a baseball themed collage/shawdow box for my grandson’s room.

  26. Jean Marmo says:

    Such fun! Love the baseball items!

    I would love to work with the wooden ruler pieces first.

  28. Phoebe Diamond says:

    Oh the paper dolls, in a shadowbox or three. That would be wonderful.

    Dancing men?! I love men that dance. Don’t know what I’ll do with them yet, but they will certainly be my inspiration!

  30. Jo says:

    Love this set. – I think I would create a habadashery theme.

  31. Marilyn Hughes says:

    I’d work with the bed first.

    Great project.

  32. Lorna says:

    I think I would have to incorporate the dancing men into a shadowbox/tray. Love that there are some “less feminine” options!

  33. Nancy E says:

    Just love Tim Holtz stuff. I’d use the rulers to create a unique frame for a special sewing friend of mine!

  34. Laural says:

    the bed and pile all the kids on while Mom reads a book for Mother’s Day

  35. Barb A says:

    Definitely the bed….the little boy who lives in my dollhouse needs a new one!

  36. Kim R says:

    I can totally envision a Steampunk bed with a top hat on the bedpost

  37. Melissa M says:

    I would use the Sepia Vintage Paper Dolls in an assemblage piece…maybe a vignette in an altoids tin.
