Living My Dream

More CHA chatter...

...and many more photos to share!!! So yesterday was about the people. Today will be about my favorite new lines. My numero uno at the entire show was this cutie pie line by Crate called the Paper Doll Collection. Can't wait to cut and paste with it! Fancy Pants has always been one of my favorite lines. They had four new collections, but this girly "sassitude" one was my favorite: The cutest booth at the show and also a favorite line of mine - such girlie goodness!!! I can't wait to get some, but I just hope I can make it look anywhere as cute as Lizzy did: Love Love Love the new Queen and Company products, especially the swirllllly... Read more →

CHA Review in Photos...

Hello my friends! It is over and life is starting to return to normal (if it ever WAS normal)... I have SO many pictures to post, SO many fun stories to share and SO many amazing products to talk about, and as always, SOOOOOOOOOO much to say. But there is one small problem. I don't have enough time on my hands to accomplish this task. So today I will share a little and then tomorrow a little more and on and on and on... Let me start my overview of CHA with my favorite part - the people. First, I made a new friend who I like to refer to as the "cutest human" I have ever seen. I've always... Read more →

CHA...

Once a year, I get to attend the CHA show in Anaheim. Although the lead-up to the show is usually a very busy (thus stressful) time for me, the actual show itself is an amazing time! You can't get any better than walking around new scrapbook products and hanging out with online/scrappy friends for days. It's the best. And I am lucky because it is only 30 minutes from my house (if there is not traffic, which is never the case)... I am super duper excited to see my good friend Lisa Vanderveen who is coming down from LA to go to the show with me. We will be having dinner on Saturday with another great friend, Kelly Goree, who... Read more →

Baby It's Cold Inside!!!

Well friendly blog readers...as most of you probably know, CHA is right around the corner. Which means, if you are a scrapbook page designer, you are barely coming up for air. Or perhaps in my case, you have become a complete recluse ignoring phone calls, emails and door knocks. This also means, blog updating is a bit sparse. So today, in the midst of my overwhelmed, undersocialized mood, I am going to post some pages that have already been published (not too exciting I know, but hey, it's the best I've got). In the spirit of winter...here are some pages to make you shiver! Ice Paradise as seen in the January CK: Playing with Snow as seen in the December... Read more →

Markers, Markers, Markers...

Oh how I love markers! I have quite a collection, but never seem to have enough. Do you have a supply that you just can't get enough of? I use them on every scrapbook project I make, especially for journaling and outlining photos. Today I am the Guest Blogger on the Creating Keepsakes Blog! My post is about how to incorporate the use of markers into your scrapbooking projects. Here are a couple of cropped images of my layouts: If you go to the CK blog, you can see the entire pages as well as step by step instructions on how to make the Maya Road acrylic snowflakes. I also posted a photo of my favorite markers and what I... Read more →
