Who knew that filling all the little compartments in a Lord Tim of Holtz Configuration could be so much fun!
You know Tim ... the man that can hand craft a nest for every bird in all the world while making the Royal wedding dress with just a Game Spinner and a brad!
This week's theme over at
Simon Says Stamp and Show is buttons ... the perfect excuse to grab the smallest of the Configurations and start playing! I had a ball!
I covered the Configuration with the Button paper from the Crowded Attic pad and then set to work applying the tissue tape and then distressing it with Vintage Photo. Most of the bits you can see are Idea-ology ... with a few things from my own stash added for good measure! Bet you thought the title of this post was a typo ... by putting tiny puddles of Matte Medium down the front I was able to place the little beads to make them look like they were spilling ... I'm rather pleased with the way they turned out! And the reflection of the Fractured Doll in the tiny frame mirror ... made my day! I know ... I know ... little things and small minds! And ... and ... the tin that the Film Strip Ribbon comes in has made the perfect little hat box!
To complete the piece I added a few THE Wendy Vecchi butterflies ... so much fun! I still have the largest Configuration that Lord Tim and the charming and most amazing Mario gave me at ArtsyCrafts in February ... I just need to find some time to make it! I cannot wait now!
So ... talking about spilling the beads ... How was your Easter break ... What did you do? Where did you go? John worked last night so I am spending the day all on my lonesome ... so I am relying on you guys to keep me entertained!
I spent Friday shopping with the Wonderful Lin and the lovely Karen at the Bull Ring in Birmingham ... I got a fab new Fossil watch ... yup you have guessed right ... it was only a tenner :0) Saturday with a lovely group of ladies doing my Tiny Tin class in Olney ... Sunday ... making stuff and grumbling about my Hay Fever and today ... I have work to do ready for my new release of classes for LB Crafts.
Well ... that's me ... don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog to see the other projects on show ... you could even enter for your chance to win a

Hi Linda
Love the box ! I bought the printer's tray style configurations at Ally Pally but haven't had a moment to craft what with Easter & the sunny weather demanding my presence in the garden ! Hope you have a fun day even if you are on your own. I have to work today so no chance to get crafting & a neglected blog !!
Really like the way the red pops out, brilliant effect. It turned out beautiful. Tfs.

I have the smallest Config box also and those boxes seem so small but seeing yours gives me hope that I can actually fit a ton of stuff in there.
And I love "The King" peeking around the corner with his crown, really cute!
this is stunning !!!! full to the brim of yummy goodies. I made my first configuration this weekend, piccies are on my blog if you fancy a nose xxx
Hi Linda *waving*
Great config box! I must get round to finishing mine from the PaperArtsy event! I did buy a teeny weeny little book to go in it this weekend at a craft fair I was at Sunday and yesterday: That's what has kept me busy lately.
I'm now getting ready to go over to UK to meet up with family for the big event...my husband's birthday, not the wedding!
