CHA Trade Show Day !

Saturday was the first day of the CHA Trade Show in Los Angeles. (This is the show that has been held in Anaheim for the last upteen years...you know right DOWN the street...but NOOOO, this year it is at the Los Angeles Convention Center...)

Day 1 was super exciting. I first stopped at the Pinecone Press booth to see if the good folks there were in need of any last minute assistance. They are very good to me and I like to help them whenever I can.

Right across from the Pinecone booth was the good people from GlueDots...I LoveLoveLOVE GLUE DOTS!!!!

They have the cutest little Cupcake Make N Take and I was lucky enough to be able to do it.

So So So CUTE and SO SO SO EASY!!!! (Sorry for the fingers - trouble getting a good picture :-)

I was able to complete a couple of more Make N Takes but I'm having photo quality problems - GGGRRRRR!!!! Hopefully I will be able to post those tomorrow night...

Until then...HAPPY CRAFTING!!!

Loolah Hello Card

Hello Friends!

I have a project for you today.

The good folks at Pinecone Press Design (http://www.pineconepressdesign.com/) have been kind enough to publish some cards that I designed for their January kits.

The Options Kits are a wonderful thing indeed. They release two need kits EVERY MONTH!!! They retail for just $20 each!!! Each kit contains decorative papers and ribbons as well as other items that very from month to month (additional embellishments, chipboard, stickers, etc). My FAVORITE part of the kit, you ask??? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 12-page IDEA BOOK!!! The idea books include scrapbook layouts, cards and papercrafts...most with FULL instructions!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Sweetness

Happy New Year! (YES...I know...I am a few days late...)
WOW! I actually scrapbooked for the first time in YEARS!!!

The idea for this layout was provided by a great company - Pink Paislee.

I love that they provide their retailers with not just pictures of project ideas, but complete instructions as well!!! (This makes me a VERY happy camper...after all, I love to CASE!)

This is a 2-page 12x12 layout.

I did make a couple of adjustments to their instructions so that I can create AFFORDABLE kits for you.

Those will be available on my Etsy store very soon.

I'll be sure to update the blog when those become available.
