Tired feet!

Wow! My feet are exhausted. Actually, as my friend Susanna said "my everything is tired!"

But it was a great day. And I bought lots of amazing stuff! Coming soon highlights...

- all 3 new Graphic 45 lines in 8x8 pads
- all new Basic Grey lines including their new kraft line
- lots of new yummy ribbons including pompom trim and some gorgeous taffeta that is kind of like a strong bodied silk. GORGEOUS sheen to it.
- new My Mind's Eye papers
- new and old October Afternoon so I'll be fully stocked!
- BLING baby! New Zva!
- Glossy Accents in white and black!
- SEI, all 3 new lines in 6x6
- UNITY
- Cosmo Cricket, all new lines and replenished old ones

Tomorrow I have an exciting breakfast meeting in the morning and then back to the show for another day. On the agenda is Spellbinders (we stopped in today but I didn't put my order together yet), Hero Arts, OCL, Stampendous and Copic. And, we'll see what else I come across!

Thanks for stopping by!

Just a quick post before I head to bed...

We had our DT dinner tonight and had a blast. Ashley (from our Petal Press team) joined me, Lynn, Deb, Lori and Kendra. It was so great to meet Ashley in person and spend some good time with the other girls.

Then Ashley and Kendra ran off to other engagements while the rest of us met up with Susanna from PCP and headed to the huge SEI party. We all got gorgeous shirts from their new line, Claire. GORGEOUS. Oh, and we each got a sampler pack of paper that has one sheet of every new paper from their new lines. YAY!!!

I ordered all 3. Their new Happy Day birthday paper is my fav.

In other news Spellbinders is not only releasing big scalloped ovals but also squares, circles and rectangles. SO EXCITED about those!

I can't update the preorder section from here but feel free to leave a comment if you think you're going to want these other shapes.

That's it for now. Thanks for all the responses so far to the survey.

Hopefully my internet will cooperate from the floor tomorrow.

Stay tuned!

Five Minute Friday: Bell Ornament Thanks

Happy Friday!  I’m back with a Five Minute Friday.  I’m continuing my series of holiday thank you cards.  I took a scrap of Ivory cs and embossed it with my A2 Snowflake folder.  Then I wrapped a scrap of red faux suede ruffled edge ribbon, finished it off with a die-cut bell ornament from the Good Cheer line and stamped my Chelsea Sentiments in Palette Noir.  The DP is also from the Good Cheer line.  I used a rhinestone brad from my stash to finish it off.

That’s it!  Five minutes!  Have a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping in today!  I leave bright and early for CHA tomorrow!  I’ll try to do some posting from there but I’ve got some real posts scheduled just in case!

DT Challenge: 4x6 Calendar Case

Today’s DT challenge is to use these 4x6 CD cases. I’m using mine to make a desk calendar, just like I did last year.

I printed out the calendar from PrintFree.com and grouped them into seasons. I wanted them to have some continuity so I used the smallest of the Labels One that I sponged with Palette inks before I popped them out and various glimmer ribbons along the top. I also selected all stripy papers to help tie things together.

Here is my Winter design.

The embellishments are some leftovers from MME Colorful Christmas chipboard. The DP is the shimmery, beautiful Starry Eyed glitter paper.

For my Spring layout I used some daisies from my stash and a cutie little felt ladybug from my Lemonade Woolies. The DP is the backside to Play with Owl glitter paper. I love Best Creation’s paper. Their glitter does not come off.

For Summer I used some more felt embellishments from the Lemonade Woolies and paired it with some paper from my Colorful Christmas pack.

And finally….

for my Fall layout I used some more MME paper, this time from my Boo To You Collection Kit (on sale now!). I used another little feltie from my Indian Summer Woolies.

So there you have it! Please be sure to stop by all of the other DT members this month and check out their projects.

Five Minute Friday: Musical Ornament Thanks & request

Happy Friday! First I want to wish my friend and DT member Lynn a very happy birthday. I'll see you at CHA soon and can give you a big hug then!

The CHA sneaks have begun! Cosmo Cricket has some on their blog and they're running a little contest. Can you do me a favor and hop over to THIS POST and give i {heart} papers a little shout out? THANKS!!!

For today's Five Minute Friday card, just like last week’s, I took a scrap of Ivory cs and embossed it with my A2 Snowflake folder. Then I wrapped a scrap of red faux suede ruffled edge ribbon, finished it off with a die-cut ornament from the Good Cheer line and stamped my Chelsea Sentiments in Palette Noir. The DP is also from the Good Cheer line. I tied a little scrap of metallic gold string at the top as a hanger.

That’s it! Five minutes! Have a great weekend! Thanks for popping in! Be sure to stop by on Tuesday for an IHP DT Challenge.

Spellbinders now available for PREORDER!

Just a quick note to let you know I’ve made all the new Spellbinders CHA dies available for pre-order.  Please be sure to put all of your pre-order items on ONE order.  These orders will not ship until February or early March (according to Spellbinders) but I am taking orders for them now so you can be one of the first to get your hands on them! 

Spellbinders routinely sells out of dies immediately after CHA because of the high demand.  CHA orders always get filled but then the next shipment could be many weeks after that.  I will be using my pre-orders to determine how many dies to purchase at CHA…so don’t wait or you might miss out!

PRE-ORDER ITEMS HERE.

I will be updating this section as more CHA sneaks are revealed so stay tuned! 

Thanks for popping by today!  Remember there’s LOTS of stuff on sale now to help make room for all of the upcoming new goodies from CHA.  Won’t you help?  :)
