Here is a mini album I created using products from Danelle Johnson’s Vibe Collection and Creative Imaginations Bare Elements album. This will be featured on the Art Warehouse Product Spotlight web site. There you can print out the supply list and instructions to recreate this mini album. The photos are of my niece Madelyn catching her first fish. She was so excited. That is until her Dad Kelly asked her if she wanted to touch it (see last photo).

I thought I would update my blog tonight since I will be going to play with this sweet little boy tomorrow morning. Gosh I love me some Noah time. He is so darn cute… just look at this face.

His Mommy Caroline and Auntie Deb are at full throttle right now. So while his Mommy works we get to play. Those of you that will be attending CHA are going to love all the projects that will be displayed in the booth… LOADS and LOADS and LOADS of eye candy. If you stop by make sure to say hi! Here is part of the CHA-S catalog if you want to take a look at some of the great stuff coming out. Caroline and Deb are adding items daily.

Now for sneak peek #4… this is the new 3 x 3 accordion album. I LOVE this size and this little project can be completed in an evening. Which is pretty good for me, I can’t remember when I finished one that fast. The scallop frame, royalty crown and microchip hearts are also being released at CHA-S. The paper line is “Beloved” by Danelle Johnson. I love the pink and black combination and can’t seem to get enough of this paper. The photos inside the album are of my sweet, adorable little niece Isabella Kate. I get to see her Aug. 2 and believe me I am counting the days.

Images removed for publication. This project will be in the Dec/Jan 2008 issue of Paper Trends.
Oh and the quote inside is the cutest! My niece Madelyn (4 yrs. old) now known as the “Big Sister” of the house (never mind that Amanda “THE BIG SISTER” will turn 16 in just a few days) said this the day Isabella Kate came home.

Madelyn was holding Isabella Kate for the first time and Isabella Kate’s bow fell out. Well Madelyn says to her Daddy… “Daddy put her bow back in… she can’t be a Princess without her bow.” I think this is the cutest quote ever and will use it on many more projects I’m sure.

by Susan J her blog is called Onion Skin and talk about inspiring… If you do not know of Susan you really need to go and check her out. She does great work.

Here are the rules…. Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

My 7 random facts or habits are….

1. I always have to let my drinks (Hot or Cold) sit a bit before I can drink them… not sure why I just do.

2. I only wear white shirts. It makes my daughters and my sister crazy!!! I mean so crazy. It is just easier and works for me. I can’t stand the stress of making sure everything matches. Give me paper and I’m fine, clothes UGH!

3. I will dance all over my scraproom or the house but don’t even think I will do it in public.

4. I make a weird face when I put on my blush… my sister says I look like a duck. Gotta love little sisters.

5. I played the piano and clarinet in high school

6. I love to wash clothes.

7. My Dad is Santa Claus.

Sande Krieger cause I love her digi work and am always so inspired by her layouts. Kelli Crowe because I feel she has more energy than the law allows and it shows in her designs. Melodee Langworthy because she can do some incredible tag books. I am always so amazed when I see her work. Ashley Calder because her layouts are so out of the box. I just love everything she creates. Teresa McFayden her vintage style rocks like no other. Danelle Johnson because I’m always wanting to know what is coming next. She is full of fabulous ideas. Tara Whitney because her photography rocks!

I must admit right now everything in my little scrapping world is pretty darn great.

First I discovered a really neat thing while I was working on one of the Maya Road binders last night. I was using crackling medium and decided that I did not want to use two different paint colors on the spine as I did on the front and back cover. I wanted the spine to be a solid color but I already had dry crackling medium covering it… so I just painted over it again using the same paint color. OMGosh do l love this look. It looks as though you have years of paint on your project. I know this isn’t anything mind blowing but it really does look so cool and I’m going to do this a lot with my chipboard. That is if I can keep the glitter out of my hands.

Onto the next “good thing”… I finally got to see the Martha Stewart segment with her holding up my layout plugging her contest. So here is my little 5 seconds of fame.

And now the really BIG NEWS…. Danelle Johnson with Art Warehouse asked me to be a part of her design team! I just cannot believe it. I’m so thrilled. I never would have thought in less than one year of deciding to be on a few design teams I would be on 3 fabulous design teams. Yes, my scrapping world is pretty darn good.

This being said I really need to get back to working on my mini album. It must be finished by Friday and I am going to miss some good creating time for two days.
