The one with CHA day 2!

Better late than never! Can't believe its already the last day of the show!
Here are some of the highlights from yesterday....

Crate Paper.... my favorite of the show! Love all the lines. For the local girls - we got the entire set of the first three lines and just a little from the neighborhood line.


Close up of the borders and stickers from the ToyBox line.... great boy line for any age!

New Sizzix dies... love the banner of course!

Some inspiration....

Spellbindres gear dies! Very cool....

Kaiser Craft.... Lots of great new stuff coming from them.... a school line, cooking line, purple princess line.... and this is my fave....pink, green and brown!

Pics from the DCWV booth. Took them almost 4 months so make these... sorry for the sideways pic... not sure what up with that... :)

Banner from Fancy Pants... got this line. Very cool retro colors with a modern twist.

It wasn't all work..... Fawn and I being silly....

Got to meet some great scrapbookers that I admire! Kelly Purkey at the Studio Calico booth (so nice to meet you Kelly!!) She is super sweet!

Nicole Harper.... she is so nice! Didn't know that she shops at Scrappy Chic! Got to chit chat with her for a while.

Elizabeth Kartchner.... she is always so nice... Couldn't believe that she remembered me from the last show! She was there with her husband and cutie little baby Lola!

For even more pics of the day head over to the Scrappy Chic blog!

Now I have to get ready to place LOTS of orders..... wish me luck getting back into Detroit... I hear there is going to be lots of snow coming!!!!

The one with CHA day 1

It was a very long day! These pics are super out of order but I wanted to get something up on the blog tonight!!

Prima Booth pic:
Me with Kelly Goree at the BG booth. She was running the Make n Take.... she was soooo cool :)

Wreath over at Jillibean Soup booth. Very cool - Seems to see a lot of these spools - Jenni Bowlin and Maya Road has them too!

Tim Holtz doing a demo.... all the ladies were crazy here. Hard to get a pic!

From the TH booth:

Pink Paislee.... my favorite of all the releases so far :)

After the show we wen out for Sushi.... it was a blast. Found a really cool little place that you pay by the plate. The food comes around on a conveyor belt and you just pick what you want and pay at the end.

So much fun but now its bedtime!

More to come tomorrow .... and lots when i get back too :)

The one with the flight!

Yay! We made it!

I say that because we almost didn't!

Let me tell you the adventure we had last night!

I left work early to make sure I got to Chris' house on time. There was lots of snow coming down and I figured that the roads would be really bad. I was right. At 5:30 we found out that the plane would be delayed about an hour. No problem!

So we just hung out at Chris' for a while and then headed over to the Airport... thats when the adventure started! The roads were REALLY slow and we were pushing it for time as it was. We rushed over to check it.... but we got an error message : You are too LATE to check in for your

flight!!! AHHHH.. panic!

Got an attendant over right away to help. She said our bags would not make he flight but she had two seats left. Out bags would come THE NEXT NIGHT! So we ran through security... and literally RAN to the gate just in time to board! Poor Fawn was waiting there since 6:00.

Once we got on the plane we realized that we got the last two seats on the plane and were bumped up to first class! We were laughing so hard about our luck..... but so excited to have the BIG cushy seats.

The flight was great but the whole time I was wondering if we were going to have our luggage or not. We were making a list of what we would need to buy when we land. Once we landed and got to the luggage area we walked over and out bags were the first ones out!!! Lots of celebrating in the airport.... I don't think anyone has ever been so happy to see their luggage :)

So that was last night... check out what we did today over on the Scrappy Chic blog! Plus.... we got the exclusive first photos of the CHA floor if you want to see it.......

Today it was so beautiful - not like the snow and below zero weather we left! So enjoying the SUN!

Check back tomorrow for lots of show pics.... I can't wait!!

The one with some Curio

I'm all packed up and ready to go...... to CHA!!!
We are flying out tonight and I am sooooooo excited :) This time around I am bringing my laptop and my cameras are fully charged. I hope to be able to post pictures of the show while I am there.

Thought I would share a couple more layouts today I made with my kit from Catch the Moments! Used the Curio line for both these layouts.... both with very different feels.
This first one is from my brothers wedding....

Loved the teal and peachyorange combo on this one!

This next one is from Disney. Trying to get my brother to smile in a picture is a hard thing. And he never wants to act goofy (how are we related ;) lol). He loves Coke in a bottle so we had to get him next to this giant bottle at Hollywood Studios!

Hope you are having a great week and enjoying all the fun peeks out there! I will share all the CHA show fun with you so check back! Have a great weekend :)

The one with a Classic

Good Morning!
Thought I would share a layout I created for Catch The Moments design team. Used lots of AC here! The paper is AC Classics, tickets and journal paper is Dear Lizzy. The rose ribbon trim and rubon letter are also AC.
Don't mind too much how bad this pic is.... seems like the sun only comes out when I am at work ;)

The 'Cherish' letters are BG, buttons are Jenni Bowlin. The die cut floral is KandCo - it was beige so I inked it to contrast more with my paper.
This frame is Melissa Francis -I have had for a while now and just haven't had the right place to use it! Thought it was perfect to frame this picture of me and my grandmother.

If you are looking for some good deals check out the kits over at CTM!! Lots of sales going on for CHA this weekend as well :)
