I sure do appreciate your A-M-A-Z-I-N-G birthday wishes! You all are so incredible and I thank you. I had THE MOST AMAZING DAY! Thank you so much for making it even more special!
Well, It's December 2nd and the crunch is about to begin! (it already has really!) CHA Samples! Tons of them! I love it! Stressful, but I love it! I finally wrote down what was in my head and made a list of all the things I would like to create and I honestly can't wait to see what they look like. The reason I'm writing this is to explain if my blog post are a bit more spotty than normal, I'm crafting away trying to use all the newest stuff in ways that will be cool for January's show! Well see how it goes....LOL!
Today, I wanted to share a project with you that would be an awesome LARGE ornament or a Christmas decor piece. I think it would be great for any guy on your list too! You could do the project in a number of cool and fun papers, but since this is Christmas, out came Tim's Holidays Past Collection....
Here we go...
Our challenge this month for the Inspiration Emporium's Inspiration Team was this..."Joyful Celebration." To use "joy" in one of your projects....So I did....
The Joyful Jetting Santa
It truly was one of those projects that I just had fun making and could't stop! I hope you like it!
THANKS FOR COMING BY AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE INCREDIBLE BIRTHDAY WISHES!!!
Jim

HUGS xx
My dad would have loved this flying Santa. I just may have to make it in his honor. He flew RC airplanes for years and I still have some of them. Which just put on a light bulb! I could use one of his airplane bodies and make something altered out of it. I was holding on to them for my nephew (my brother is deceased too), but he doesn't seem to be interested in them. So why not? Thanks so much for the inspiration and thanks as always for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy jaw hit the floor when I saw this..what a wonderful project!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable Jim. Happy belated Birthday.
ReplyDeleteSanta looks as if he is truly enjoying making his rounds in this joyful project. Your workshop sounds as if it will be humming like Santa's. Hummm, Jim the Gentleman Elf does have a nice ring for December. Belated Birthday wishes for a joy filled year.
ReplyDeleteThere truly is not enough words in the English language to descibe how sheer talented you are. The plane is just of the park.
ReplyDeleteJim, you are BRILLIANT! I LOVE everything you create and you have to be the sweetest and one of the most inspirational guys around. Happy belated birthday!

ReplyDeleteOutstanding Jim! A-maz-ing details. Love the label pull as the wind screen and pulleys as wheels. So festive and joyful! My Dad was a pilot so this brings back great memories for me. Thank You.

ReplyDeleteDEbbie
As ever, amazingly innovative & creative xx
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Fantastic!!! Incredible!!! Love it!!! Very joyful indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis is right up my alley! I love making 3d things at Christmas time. I actually have out my pipecleaners, vintage heads & doo-dahs, crepe paper waiting to be made into something.....and here is my inspiration. Thanks Jim for another great idea! Don't forget to take time to enjoy the season. So, you show up to a party with paper scraps stuck to your head or you are covered in glitter (or dye) your true friends won't judge you, they will just love you.
ReplyDeleteI am a Santa Claus nut and this piece is fantastic! I so love the vintage feel of it! I love everything you've done on this. The detail on the plane is amazing! Your Santa made out of pipe cleaners is absolutely precious! LOVE LOVE LOVE this project! <3 Candy

ReplyDeleteI literately screamed when I saw your airplane! I have to make this for my brother, who was a pilot in his earlier days. So this is me, begging for instructions! I think I can figure out the easy stuff, but maybe just a few pointers on the less obvious aspects of your creation? Holly M. in KY

ReplyDeleteInstructions, instructions, instructions please (pretty please) ... my hubby flies Remote Control planes (and helicopters and boats and cars and trucks) and this would be just tooo coool ... awesome job as usual
ReplyDeleteSigh..imagination indeed! You never cease to amaze and inspire me, Jim! Just what you do with those configuration boxes makes me think of new things to try with them myself! Thanks for sharing your creative genius in such wonderful ways!
ReplyDeleteLike it??? It's sensational! Oh, I wish there was just a smidgen of your creativity in my feeble little brain.
ReplyDeleteHow do you do it? You are AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteLove it Jim!
Wow! It looks like all those Tim Holtz items were designed with a plane in mind! They work perfectly for your creation. I love waking up here in Oz to your posts each morning. It is a wonderful way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteThis is stinkin amazing - what a wonderful use for additional configurations boxes - your imagination knows no bounds!
ReplyDeleteHoly Santa Claus! Who needs reindeers. Too darn cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. I want one!! Pretty please?
ReplyDeletexx
This plane is adorable and I love it!! Where do you come up with these ideas?? You're a genius! You have the most amazing ideas for 3 dimensional items, it blows my mind. You should be selling box sets of the products someone would need to make all of these awesome projects. Include directions and what not and you could make some good money that way, I know they'd sell like hot cakes. Fabulous, just amazing....I am in awe of you.
ReplyDeleteHOW AMAZINGLY ADORABLE IS THIS JIM?????????I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMarcie
What a wonderful, most inspiring little plane! I love stickling for details, too - it's so exciting to add matching items here and there and to see, how it's going to grow. Love it - you did a great job!
