CHA

So Tami and I made it to the 2013 Winter CHA in Anaheim representing Creative Passion. We had so much fun catching up, creating and seeing the new and improved from the crafting world. Over the next couple days I am going to post some of the things I made and a few that I saw. Many of you have probably been looking at all the reviews out there already so I am going to show you the cards and projects I completed or am in process on with the new products! To start off though here are the two of us lookin’ good!

We really had a great time! Thank you so much Tami for joining me in CA and playing with me for the weekend!

Layouts at Get It Scrapped

I have two more layouts over at Get It Scrapped. One is on one of my very favorite topics fussy cutting! If you have ever cropped with me you know my micro scissors and X-acto blade are never far from hand. See all the amazing inspiration HERE

I also did a fun layout about using a punchy floral with a stripe pattern. Check out the amazing combinations HERE

I had an amazing weekend with my friend Tami Taylor at CHA and will be showing off some of our finds in days to come so stay tuned!

Happy coloring and scrapping all!

Round Up

Here is a peek at my latest layout over at Get It Scrapped. It is part of an article about round-ups. The concept of gathering similar photos from different time periods or different events to highlight a theme in your life. Mine is not to hard to figure out, but it was sure fun to make! Read more about it HERE

I am off to CHA this weekend. A special trip to see friends, do some crafting, make connections and see the latest and greatest in the industry!

Stay tuned I will share some of my favorites here and at Creative Passion!

Happy New Year everyone!

Seeing Red (on layouts)

I know, right in the middle of the Christmas season and I have the opportunity to scrap with red and what do I scrap? Beach photos from the summer. He He so me, so all over the place. BUT the article at Get It Scrapped has some gorgeous layouts so I would recommend heading that way and taking a peek!

Here is my contribution:

Maybe it was my need for some warmer weather. Iowa remembered that it is winter and decided to hit us full force. We have a white Christmas and the Iowa winds are keeping us in the “feels like” single digit degrees.

I hope and pray that you all are tucked in with family and friends for this holiday season.

Merry Christmas!

So far behind!

To long has it been since I last posted and this one has to be short and sweet. Christmas is in the single digit countdown, I have 2 new classes needing finishing for the new year, a few gifts left to make and I think I am in charge of a craft for a Holiday party I have a little bit of a pile going. But here is the run down of the latest articles over the past few weeks at Get It Scrapped:

Journaling on Photos is up:

Also Patchwork inspiration:

There is even an article on using Vignettes as inspiration:

All the layouts were so much fun to create I have been loving getting so much scrapping done and remembering all the amazing times surrounding all these wonderful photos.

I hope you all are approaching the holidays with joy in your hearts and homes.

Merry Christmas!
