simply me

getting ready for cha - can you say CRA-ZEEE!

i love CHA, the products, the people, the products....this year i am taking on a lot more than usual, but with only 48 hours till go time i am nervous.

here is what has been going on inside the studio...

For my new Prima canvas line i have been transforming these

into these.

 

ok even i have to admit the camera bag came out flippin' adorable! ruffles make me so happy!

This year i will have my own booth in the license and design section and designing the booth has been like designing my studio, love the idea of a blank space to fill. hopefully the booth will look as cute as i hope. i only have 10x10 sq ft to play with, however that is bigger than my own studio. i will take pictures i promise (only if i like how it turns out, hee hee!)

i have also been creating some artwork to put on the booth walls...
not quite finished with this piece, i need to put some words on it.
 

this one is a smaller piece and i like it so much the way it is i am going to leave it for a while, but it need words too.

used my new huge Prima foam stamps on this one

 

then, so get this, i bought a cute cardigan sweater at target the other day and had nothing to wear it with and made this skirt today. (LOVE LOVE LOVE MY SERGER)

 

i also made this skirt a couple weeks agoand am planning to wear at CHA

 

made this cute little make 'n take for my booth time at the supershow

 

got my new unity stamps from Unity the other day! i wanted her to make them big for me and they look FAB-U-LOUS! Unity rocks! check it out!

so if you are going to be at the show swing by one of my workshops, seminar or demos!

hope to see you there!!

inspiration wednesday : silhouette style!

how awesome is it that my hand-drawn designs can now be dowloaded and easily die cut!!

The silhouette has made this happen and it is awesome! i couldn't wait for the designs to be ready for download because this page idea was sitting in my notebook waiting for a diecut machine to help me make this. and yes, before you ask, i have a cricut, but with the silhouette i can now simply download whatever image, font or dingbats i want and load them up and die cut them out!

this is life changing people!

these are the ones i have ready for download today!

 

 

here is a layout i started and ran out of time on, but can you see the potential! giddy with happiness over this, can you tell?

and please please share and email me your amazing designs you create with my new die cut images i want to include your pages/projects in my monthly newsletter.

EDITED: oooh and i just noticed they released 2 more today, BONUS!! check it out
