CHA New Products

Hi everyone:) It's that time of year to save our pennies, bookmark those websites, and wipe the drool off of our computers. Yep it's CHA time again and this year I have a little bit of exciting news to share. Prima has used a few of my flower designs in their release!!! I know pinch me please. It is like a dream come true for me. I wanted to share a couple of designs today with you. (I have a few more to come) They are felt flowers I designed. I love the felt for it's warm and comfortable feel and the beaded accents add a quality feel. They even come ready with leaves and/or stems.  I put a lot of thought in these and Prima has brought them to you amazingly!(I expected nothing less). These flowers will be perfect for any project. Scrapbook pages, cards, mixed media art, mini albums, or wearable art. Their material with withstand being compressed in an album or worn on a hat. There is an array of colors and styles fit for everyones style. I hope you enjoy them as well. Again here are a couple sneak peeks and more to come!

"Encore" Felt Flowers. Look at the hand stitching and bead work. With rich color and diminution. 

"Cassie" Felt flowers. These can be opened up or kept closed. but inside is more beading detail. They have stems that can be twisted and curled to add detail to your projects.

Home from CHA Vintage Street Market

Hi there, here is a very little post....I was a bad, bad girl this weekend and took little to no pics. I was crazy busy and if I wasn't busy, my feet hurt too much to care lol. I do want to share with you a couple of photos I took inVintage Street Market's Booth. I am in love with their new kits. the paper is a great thickness for altered projects,cards, and LOs. They have fun, bold designs and colors. And they come with 2' x 3' sheets of foil paper and crepe paper HELLO lol. You really need to check out their site. My pics do not do them justice. I am so excited for them, they were my favorite new Company this year.





So as you can see this really is the extent of my pics for the weekend. My camera was in hibernation in the hotel room, feeling very neglected. I may just have to search facebook for pics lol.

Last minute Packing and Prima Goodness :)

NOTE : The size on the below canvas was mis labeled it is actually a 10 x 10 Canvas Corp stretched Canvas not a 12 x 12 :) Thank YOU

So we head to CHA tomorrow YAY!!!! I am so excited lol I have been counting the days. Getting to see all of my talented friends, checking out all of the new designs, and just plain getting out of the house is a real treat. I hope to blog while I am there but I am not making any promises lol. Today is full of cleaning house, packing, getting the kiddos ready for grammy's house, and cleaning some more lol.

One little project I created for Prima's CHA booth is this 10 x10 canvas. I sprayed the canvas with Tattered Angels Chalkboard spray (Strawberry Shortcake) Using one of Prima's NEW masks. They are very durable but still have flexibility. They come in so many different shapes and sizes this year. :) Check out PRIMA's Blog today to see some of the new designs, and some of the inspiration made by the uber talented artists.



There is also a few little touches of Prima's new "Sweet Fairy" Collection on here as well. This line is sweet and stunning, You have the cute little fairies on some and gorgeous roses and flowers on others. A perfect mix for a feminine line.


The calendar is removable and can be replaced each year. THe months are perforated so they can be torn off.



One little reminder, if you will be attending CHA don't forget to stop by and see me MOn. or Tues over at 3L Corp Scrapbook Adhesives booth. I will doing make and takes. :D



Everyone who is headed to Southern CA have a safe trip and everyone who is not, enjoy your weekend, and keep a look out for all of the wonderful previews from CHA.

Prima And Tattered Angels Reveal !!!

So the news is out and I am so excited to tell you about what's new at Prima and Tattered Angels. Look at the great, fun new products out this CHA :) Here are a few projects I created using them. Here is the post on Prima's Blog showing all of the lovely samples the DT made.



The colors I used on this LO (which also are Prima's Favorite colors ;)) Patina, Cranberry Zing, Suede, and Bronze.

On this corner flower I dipped the flower in the Cranberry Zing then sprayed it with Bronze to spread the color.


This necklace was made with a canvas butterfly I cut out of a 12 x 12 sheet that has many different shapes and sprayed it with Suede, stamped the leaves and embossed it with a clear coat of UTEE. Added Prima's new Vintage Trinkets to the bottom.


This headband was also made with the 12 x12 shapes sheet. I folded the flowers to make this 3D flower.




These canvas sheets absorb the glimmer mist with ease and holds your colors true. There are so many possibilities with these new Canvas sheets. Make sure to continue and check in with Prima and Tattered Angels for more CHA previews and sneak peaks.

CHA is Coming !!! :)

Anyone who is a scrapbooker and breathing knows that it's that coveted time of year again. CHA comes to town. And every manufacture, designer, and artist is gearing up for the show. I am sooo excited! This year I will be helping out 3L Adhesives (Scrapbook Adhesives). I will be doing Make and Takes Monday and Tues. So make sure you swing by to see me and to see what new goodies Scrapbook Adhesives has in store. You will not want to miss out.



I have been working for the past couple of weeks on Prima goodies for the show. I think I can honestly say that the releases this year are my favorite by far!! And I am not just saying that either ;) The goodies coming out have stirred major inspiration. There are some other booths I can NOT wait to see!! Webster's Pages, Ranger, Tim Holtz, Tattered Angels. I think those would be like my top four.

Here are a couple sneaks of Prima's releases. Make sure to check in to their blog the next few weeks for sneak peeks and give-a-ways!!




On this LO I used one of Prima's new masks as a dry embossing template. Once it was embossed, I sprayed the mask with Glimmer mist and pressed it into the impression. And ran a brayer over it. See masks and stencils are for more than just spraying ;)


My favorite flowers of the season are on this page. The two larger tan colored flowers with the stems in the middle. They remind me somewhat of Cherry blossoms. I LOVE <3 This paper line is the Botanical Collection. Very soft and floral. Beautiful.



If you are making the trip to L.A. here in a couple of weeks have a safe trip and I hope to see you there.

Hugs
Jamie
