The Mermaids are Coming!!

This is a sneak peek of my next project. I am using the brand new "Scrap Within Reach" papers which even though it wasnt meant to be for an underwater layout ... for me it fits (LOL). You will see what I mean when I finish the layout.

I am using some of the "Paper Boy" collection and some of the "Cottage" collection for the layout. I also used alot of Mark Richards bling which has a great selection and is very reasonably priced.

I am packing to go to the Orlando Scrappers Dream Vacation where I will be teaching two classes, so I will not finish this cute mermaid layout till I get back. So in the meantime, check out the cute DOUBLE SIDED papers from Scrap Within Reach

Just made these two cute mini albums. One is acrylic with a "enjoy life" theme, lots of pink, rub-ons and bling. The paper I used was from Heather Bailey.
















The other album has a more whimsical theme "ponderings" with cute chipboard sayings and embellishments. The colors are more muted with reds and brown. I used the DCWV papers.

CHA ORLANDO SHOW PICS

Well I had a great time at CHA ... there are so many beautiful products and talented designers out there that it makes my head spin. I wanted to share some of my favorite samples with you.

I also went to dinner with Debbie Gunion and the "Girls" at Bucca di Peppo. We were seated in the "POPE" room. The ladies from Stampendous and Mr. Chris joined us and we had a great time trying to move the lazy suzanne in the middle of the table so the "POPE" wasnt staring at us while we ate.

There were alot of awesome make-n-takes at all the booths, and they were all packed waiting and people waiting in line to get their turn. Here is a picture of the make n take at Nikki Silvils booth.

Here are some pictures of samples from Nikki Silvils, 7 Gypsies and Tim Holtz. There were so many beautiful samples made by such talented people ... I just wanted to stare at them and hang out, but I had to break away because I was working the show and had appointments to get to (LOL)
