Last picks of Graphic 45 @ CHA

I was downloading the pics from my camera and had to share. I was lucky enough to go to Winter CHA and one of my favorite booth is always Graphic 45. They have show stopping samples and their booth is always decorated to the extreme.

Here is a pic of Diane Schultz (designer and owner) and Aimee on the day they where highlighting the "Little Darlings" collection. Every day the group working the booth dressed up in a different costume. It was awesome.

Little Darlings Beautiful Display

 

I thought this bracelet was so unique and creative I had to take a picture of it

 

You have to check out this designer, her bracelet was really impressive

 

Can you believe Melanie Forbes made the bracelet out of the Graphic 45 door knob

Old Curiosity Shoppe "When Pigs Fly"

I love Graphic 45, you can tell by how much time and pictures I took at their booth. Here is an album I did a while back with the "Once Upon A Spring Time" collection.

 

And last but not least, what would a trip to CHA be without getting a picture of Tim Holtz!

If you havent tried Graphic 45, you must - their product is amazing!  and just by the way the PAPER NICHE has it all in stock!  Better hurry cuz it's flying off the shelves!

Dear Lizzy You Make Me Smile

So while at CHA with the Paper Niche, we were able to visit the American Crafts booth.  One of my favorites was the Dear Lizzy "Neopolitan" collection.  I was lucky enough to bring some of that home.

Paper Niche my local LSS is bringing it in, so watch for it :)

Maya Road CHA Project

Maya Road is one of my favorite manufacturers, they have great chipboard mini albums that I love using.  Well, I was lucky enough to go to their CHA Class (courtesy of Tammy @ the Paper Niche).

Isnt this the cutest ever!!!!

Well I changed mine up a bit because as my friends always say "can't leave well enough alone"  I always have the NEED to change and add to everything - I even do it when I make an original design then asked to make it to a kit - yep, I change it again!!   So here is my version of the class project

I added some words and a couple of "extra" embellies.  I really love this atc shadow box, it makes me happy.  So Maya Road was nice enough to give us full packs of the very cute embellies they used in their project and I had enough left over to make an album.  I added some scraps of extra's I had in my studio and came up with this cute album.  I even had some extra wire to pop up my very cute bee that I stamped with Maya Road stamps.

I get such a thrill when I use up my scraps and little embellies that I have laying around just begging to be used.  Hope you enjoy.  Happy Scrapping.

More Pics from CHA Chicago Summer 2011

ART-C Class @ CHA

I took Sally Lynn MacDonald's class with ART-C.  I was not able to finish my project so will have to work on it and show you later :)

ART-C had some new canvas paintables.  You can use Copics, paint, or water color.  I thought the images were great to add to your collage work.

Back from CHA

I had a blast at CHA!  I saw lots of friends and my favorite designers.  I went with the Paper Niche and let me tell you, Tammy bought EVERYTHING!!

Tammy and Gine

Here are some of my favorites projects from the show

Maya Road, How beautiful is this butterfly

I also met a new artist (at least to me) her name is Dyan Reaveley

When I saw Dyan's art - I was immediately drawn to it.  I think it is great!!!  Its colorfuly, whimsical and vintage all at once!!
