Posts from — February 2012

Hello! So sorry for being MIA on the blog the last few weeks. Life has been hectic!! And, I’m fighting some kind of awful cold, allergy or sinus infection – ugh! Luckily, I headed to the doctor and got some good meds to kick it out of my system! I sure don’t have time to be sick!

Anyway, this is a little “old news” by now, but I couldn’t resist to share some of my photos from CHA-W. If you are not familiar with CHA, it is the Craft & Hobby Association tradeshow. Each company has breathtaking booths full of tons of eye candy showing off all of their new products! I scoped out the purchases I plan to make in the next six months and had a fun time browsing the booths with my mom! I should have taken a photo of mom and me because we had such a blast together – We grabbed some chai tea, drove up to Anaheim, participated in the Charity Wings FLASH MOB, browsed the tradeshow (mom hadn’t been before and was blown away with all the goodies!!), then had a delicious late lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. It was a perfect day!!

To start – here’s our Charity Wings Flash Mob! Mom and I are way in the back, so it’s a little difficult to see. There’s an interview with my dear friend Elena, then we are up to show our moves!

Here’s the DCWV booth. Love the festive tree!

Beautiful flower arrangement!

I love Pebbles and want to create a wall like this in my office!

Or, maybe a wall like this one?!

More fun floral displays…

I just discovered these fun DIY albums… love!

Mason Jars were certainly hot! This is over at Jillibean Soup. I’m in love with their kraft paper look-and-feel.

And, I love the oh-so-many things that my Silhouette can make for me.

The designer tape, buttons, flags and crocheted flowers from Bella Blvd. are adorable! Can’t wait to play with those!

I think I would just like beautiful garland of gorgeous paper all over my house. Pretty sure the hubby would not be a fan, but it’s SO pretty!

The Doodlebug Designs booth is always over the top! What an adorable studio set up!

Pinwheels and fun vintage signs — yes, please!

These are just a few of my favorites that I had to share… Hope you have a beautiful, creative day!

Just a quick “hello”! I just dug up this cute little detail shot from the Summer Mini Albums and thought it was a fun one to share to get you in the Valentine’s Day mood! Have you seen our adorable Love Mini Albums? There’s still time to place your order before February 14th!

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought I’d share an adorable engagement brag book. This sweet couple got hitched back in December and this album was a wedding gift for the newlyweds! The Maya Road chipboard album is embellished with super fun black, white and red. There’s a great mix of both engagement photos and fun casual photos.

Can you believe it is already FEBRUARY?! Time flies when you are having fun! I’ve been meaning to post our “New Year’s Card” for a few weeks now, but I’ve been busy! Well… “better late than never” — right? I hope so! Here’s Jeremy and I at a wedding back in September. I had some time over the holidays to play around with my Photoshop skills and was so proud that I designed this card all by myself, ha! I printed them over at Costco (SUPER affordable… and they include envelopes!) and sent them out the first of the year. Hope your 2012 is off to a great start!
