Holey smokes folks! What a day I had yesterday! My grand plans to take my list of places to visit (at your request) and photograph them all were well intended but just not realistic (eeks)!!! I am gonna see what I can do today now that the shock of it all is starting to wear off! What's sad is that I can't even remember all of the places that some of these photos came from (eeks again)!!! Since I have a whole day tomorrow to try it all over again, I'll see if I can document things a little better!
So let's jump right in shall we?!?!?!?!
I decided to start by showing you guys the three trees I made for Crate Paper.
I love these trees... love love love love love them!
I think the middle tree might possibly be my very most favorite project ever!
The night I finished it, I brought it into our room so I could look at it before I went to sleep.
I didn't want it to be sad in the craft room all by it's lonesomes either.
You've heard of sleeping with the fishes???
RonChops and I were sleeping with the trees...
I had to love on them for as long as I could... cause after CHA I'll never seen them ever again.
(bye bye trees... Lolly loves you!!!)
Do you guys like ribbon????
I don't mean ribbon...
I mean RIBBON!
...I think I could have gotten to the doorway at least...
Don't you???
These little wood shapes from Kaiser STOLE.MY.HEART!
I am sooo gonna do something with that tree this Christmas!
I just loved this.
It's simple yet completely stunning...
...and anything with 3 trillion rhinestones is a winner in my book...
(heck... anything with 3 trillion anythings is a winner in my book)
Speaking of trillions of anythings covering somethings...
Get a load of this GIANT button covered pumpkin!!!!
(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
I loves it!
You will be seeing something like this from me.
I dunno what yet... but I gotta cover something BIG with buttons.
I did the bridal clutch... but we MUST go bigger folks!
This twirly vine wall hangy thingy covered in plain paper butterflies...
A.Mazing!
I thought this was neat too.
But you guys know I love anything with flowers AND birds!
ummmm and it was BIG! Like several feet across!
I do remember that this was the top of a shelving unit at the Graphic 45 booth.
I am gonna go back there today and drool a little more (and get more pics too)!
This beauty was at the Prima booth.
I could stare at this ALL day long!
These new elements from Pink Paislee are totally cool!
I got some of the winter release parts and pieces and they are just the funnest thing ever!
I thought it was neat to mix Halloween themed stuff with flowers!
...and I loved this wreath (from Cosmo Cricket)!
We will be making something like this girls!
Here is a pic of some of the new Sizzix dies...
They have these new mini originals that are about half the size of a regular original... but they are the thicker ones... so you can cut EVEYRHING with them!
wowsers!
The Tim Holtz dies are also totally unreal.
They also have some new mini album dies coming out too... so darn cool!
I promise I'll get many more pics and post them tomorrow!
I'll end with a pizza shot... this was possibly the best pizza I have ever had in my whole life!
I can't remember the name of the place... but it began with a "G"... and had some "L's" and "O's" in the name too.
Sorry the pic is so bad but I wanted to share it anyway... it was KILLER pizza!
So... what's your favorite project from the ones I have shared? Are you loving that pumpkin as much as I am or do you wanna cover something with 3 trillion rhinestones instead?????
XO's,
P.S. Yesterday I met Jing-Jing (This Little Art of Mine), had lunch with Amy (Mod Podge Rocks), Candi Cooper and Christine Middlecamp (Retrospection) and ran into Erica and her mom (Your Scrapbook Stash) (so many times it was becoming comical) and said a quick hello to Donna Downey and Cari from Prima. I spied a bunch of other friends who were much too busy to talk (but I gave them hugs from afar)!
Today I get to give some HUGS to Juliana (17 Turtles) (she's the one who taught us all to make THESE fabulous flowers) and Eileen Hull (designer of my Sizzix giveaway die). I can't wait to meet these fabulous women!
P.S.S.T. THANKS for the teal luggage links... I was cracking up as I was reading my comments from yesterday! You guys are the BEST!
