Another Sneak Peek from CHA - Tina Wenke - Fairy Hugs

hi - ok, now I can't compare to all those gorgeous pages I showed yesterday, but I did a scrapbook page before I left for CHA. I did a few actually - Here is one.... and I used the new Stampavie - Tina Wenke image A Fairy Hugs!

 I colored the image with Promarkers, LOTS of sticklers and then cut it out. It was perfect for my nieces dance recital photo... and a scrapbook page.

I kept it simple. But the background paper was a little bold, so I used a Lattice mask and white washed it. Then added some flourishes, and flowers. The words are Thickers - I have TONS of these from my days way back when I did scrapbook a lot. It was nice to actually use them again, they have felt so forgotten.

The photo is an older one - my niece is now a "teenager" ... hope she is ok with me sharing her photo. Little late though cuz it hung at CHA already... LOL

It was fun to actually scrap again. And the new inspiration is really starting to kick my MOJO up and I hope to get a chance to do some crafting this weekend.

OH Internet is up and working again... whew! Funny how we can't live with out the net isn't it. At least I had my phone so I wasn't totally cut off, but feels good to be back to normal again.

Have a wonderful Wednesday. HUGS and

Some favorite samples from CHA

Alright today I thought I would share some of the GORGEOUS scrapbook pages from the show - I totally get so inspired to scrapbook when I get home from CHA after seeing all of the beautiful pages!!

This is my favorite... but it may be that little cutie in the photo :0)

 Gorgeous use of flowers!

 Love the rainbow and the punched border...

 Great use of the border punch, and love the cut outs...

 I have done something simular to this, the folded pleat technique, but this one rocks...

 And very simple but stunning the folded circles - love that!

I just love all the scrapbook pages you see there... seriously so much inspiration your head could pop! I really am just busting wanting to do some scrapbooking heck... crafting. I think I am finally getting caught up around here now... so now I just need to find my desk and get some MoJo going!

Have a great day -

CHA - Booths that just drew me in....

Hi -
Well today I thought I might show you a few booths that just drew me in. You know their decorations just were so me I had to take a close look...

The Jenni Bowlin booth.. ok her stuff is fabulous, love her products. But the decoration in her booth just made me insane! I would have loved to shop her old stuff! LOL

 Especially the cool old things to store stuff in!

 LOVE her new rolls of tickets, but the display ... wowser!

 Sorry.. I have no clue which booth this is, I snapped this while hurrying down and isle... but loved how they displayed their stuff on the old ladder! I would do this in my craft room, but Gato would climb all over it! LOL

 Now the La Blanche stamps booth was pretty but it wasn't the booth that drew Bev and I in... it was those amazing displays with gorgeous samples!

 Just look at all the detail!

Love this one with the old house and branches...

Loved the My Mind's Eye Booth as well. It was just so inviting.. like a big living room with cool decorations

Sorry.. photo ended up a tad blurry... 

This was the GCD booth... LOVED all the chicken wire with the clothes pins to hand things.

Ok... that was a few of my favorites. I still have lots of samples that I took photos of.. really gorgeous "art" and crafts.That will be a later post this week... 

Have a great day..

New Sarah Kay - CHA release - I Little Bit of Country

Hi - ok so I have intermittent Internet. I am keeping my appointment with the repair people, if I let it go it could take a while to get another appointment. So for now I work for a while and then nothing. I thought I would take advantage of the working this morning to show you one of the cards I made for the Stampavie booth... I think this could be my favorite image from the Sarah Kay release. But seriously.... there are 20... YES TWENTY really fabulous images in the Sarah Kay release! And I know I say it each time, but I think this is my absolute favorite release. You can see all the new releases HERE. Warning... in my best "Jaws" imitation voice... You are gonna need a bigger wallet... LOL

So back to my card - "A Little Bit of Country" -

See I told you... I love this image don't you. So me.... LOL  For my card I used scraps papers, all sewed together. Then I found some Paper tape ribbon that I added a piece of vintage lace. Found a wooden embellishment that had that country feel. Especially after I inked it up.

The sentiment is from another new release from CHA - Tina Wenke's new sentiments!! 5 new sentiment sets that are just perfect for lots of occasions. OH and I colored the image with my Promarkers. Happy Happy Happy! Loving this one.

All right gotta get things going and start to find my routine again. Laundry going, and I need to unpack the rest of my "goodies" from CHA and put away the luggage for another year. And I missed a ton on the internet, so if things will stay working I want to do some hopping around and see everything I missed. Have a great Monday and I'll be back tomorrow with more of CHA!

HUGS and

CHA - must have dies!

Hi- ok so day one home was not fun. I spent the entire day trying to get the computer to "find" the Internet. Hours later and a few more hours on the phone the storms that came through on Friday night.... (4 inches of rain BTW)
Well it did something to our satellite, so now I have to have a tech out here, hopefully soon.

Ok so let's show off some CHA photos!

Love the butterflies

They had awesome samples in their booth....

Gorgeous!

And I also fell in love with the new Sizzix.....

Love how they displayed the samples.

Have a list of them that are a must to. Seems like there were a lot of vintage feel items this year. Yea!

I'll show much more this week. I just hope that my computer gets fixed soon. I miss working "normally" on it. And I have lots of work this week.

I will try and post each day this week until I run out of things to share. I know you are wanting to see what was there.

Hugs

Animal Crackers - They doubled in size!

I am Back! Got in late yesterday and it is pouring down rain so no outside photos. And with all the thunderstorms I really haven't even turned on the computer yet.

So one more post from my phone. I just snapped a couple of photos this morning just so you can see how much the puppies have changed while I was away.



Tuco.... Can you believe how darn cute he has gotten.



Ammo... The copper color has really started coming in. He is going to look a lot like Autie.

One more photo. Hubby sent me this one while I was at CHA.



Look close - this is Cleatus STANDING on his momma Lillies back. He is a little big to be still doing this... But Lillie doesn't seem to mind.

Well time to get my routine back. Laundry and unpacking today. No other housework, my amazing Hubby had the house all sparkling when I arrived home. He is such a keeper :0)

Hugs
