I'll Be Yours...

Hi everyone,

I hope that you are having a good week so far, we are still trying to get over a nasty head cold in my house, but I think we have seen the worst of it already.  I Recently received the new CHA lines from American Crafts, and let me tell you - they are even more amazing in person!  I created this layout using the Dear Lizzy DayDreamer collection.

I'll Be Yours Layout

I started off this layout by creating the background that I cut from paper strips.  Then I sewed them down on American Crafts white cardstock.  After my background was in place I added fun embellishments from the Dear Lizzy DayDreamer collection and a few pieces from the DIY collection.

Since the background is busy, I tried to keep the embellishments simple and kept the main focus on the photo.  I also added in a few gold stars from Studio Calico's Atlantic collection and a handcut speech bubble from the My Girl collection.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my layout.  I will have more to share soon :)

CHA part 2

Hi friends,
Thanks for stopping by again today. Today I would like to share the rest of my CHA pictures and projects with you. Did I mention that this was my very first year attending CHA? It was! And this was my first year having several projects displayed there. At the past CHA (Summer) I had 1 card, so imagine my surprise when I asked to create a whole table display for WOW powders. I was so thrilled and on top of this I got to create for the amazing Heidi Grace for her new company Clever Handmade.

So I will start with showing you the display I made for the WOW powders booth. The DT leads were asked to each take a collection of colors from WOW (mine was the WOW collection) and create a display based on a theme. I chose a greenhouse bird theme.
Here is a peek at the projects that I created:
I had so much fun creating this I embossed the birdcage, birds, pots, flowers, chicken wire frame - pretty much all that you see here.

and a photo of my display in the booth:
I wish that I would have taken a more up close photo of my work, but I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot.

Also have to share the projects that I made for the Clever Handmade booth.
Love you layout:

In the house layout:

these were a challenge because I had a little amount of time and scrapbooking supplies on hand to create these and was literally creating them the night before the show, but I love how they came out and I love Heidi Grace's new line. So fun!

Thanks for stopping by again today and letting me catch up with my CHA projects. As you can tell, I had a blast and feel truly blessed by this experience.

Catch up

Hi Friends,
Since I have been home from CHA I have been working on DT assignments and spending time with the family. I have pictures from CHA that I just realized that I haven't posted yet, so I guess I have some catching up to do.
