Laura Denison Romantique-inspired box
Hi, everyone,
Thanks so much for stopping by my little corner of the web today! The project I am posting today is a box I learned from Laura Denison at http://www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com/. Laura is a genius paper designer and I really enjoy her online classes. This box is based on her Romantique box. The paper is from a stack from Hobby Lobby. You can't tell in the pictures, but it is heavily foiled gold and black paper. I used two contrasting papers to create the box and lid. I made the black and gold roses on the top using a method taught by Kathy Orta at http://www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com/ using the McGill flower molding tools and mat. The flowers were cut with the Cricut Expression using Kathy's Gypsy file. The feet, keyhole, metal corners and hitchpost are by Tim Holtz. The feet come in silver, so I inked them with gold ink from Viva Decor, then distressed them using brown and black Memento ink to make them match the other hardware on the box. The bling is some that I purchased at CHA in January, 2010. It is very sparkly IRL. I love comments, so let me know what you think. This project was difficult to photograph and the colors are much richer in person.
Hugs!

CHA Announcements! Very interesting!
Hi, everyone!
Have you been like me and glued to Twitter and Facebook for the latest CHA news?? I've even stalked Terri O on CHA-TV!! The most exciting new products for me are the new Cricut Expression 2 and the Cricut Craftroom software. The Expression 2 eliminates the need for keypad overlays and has a color touch screen! Way cool!! And it can cut from the Imagine cartridges, as well as the original Cricut cartridges! It will even have WIFI capabalities with an optional Wifi adapter.This new Cricut will launch on HSN on April 26 and has an MSRP of $399. I don't know for sure, but HSN usually has the same price, but you get a bundle instead of just the machine for the same price. The Cricut Craftroom software will be an online design tool and is in beta testing right now! Cool thing about this?? You can use it anywhere you can connect to the internet and it will be FREE! Who doesn't love free???
So, what are YOU most excited about that was announced at CHA so far???
Hugs!

So excited!!!
Hello, everyone!
Thanks for stopping by! I am excited because, as some of you know, I'm a "kitchen table" crafter and have never really had a dedicated place to craft. While that is still the case, at least I am getting my supplies more organized, thanks to a BUNCH of JetMax cubes that my sweet husband has been assembling for me! I have a wonderful, heavy duty entertainment system type cabinet that my dad built for me years ago. It has always held stereo components. Now that most of those components are no longer used, I got rid of all of that and am converting the cabinet into storage for my craft supplies. What a big job!!! But it will be so worth it once it is done and I can find what I'm looking for!!! I have a long ways to go to be finished, but once I am, I will post a pic for you. I'm loving these cubes because no matter which one I'm using, it seems to hold things perfectly, size-wise! I had a hodge-podge of different types of containers for various items before and it's going to be so much nicer to have everything at my fingertips and all in the same type of storage!!
OK, gotta get back to it!!

I am BEYOND SAD!!!
Well, my crafty friends,
Something I have been worried about has come to pass. According to the director of consumer sales at CHA, there will be no more consumer Supershows connected to CHA. The awesome Supershow that my bff, Lacy, and I attended last January in Anaheim was such an awesome experience and something we had planned on and looked forward to doing again. Initially, when I contacted CHA about a Supershow in LA this January, I was told that they were having difficulty securing a location close to the tradeshow, so there would be no Supershow THIS JANUARY. I just received word this morning that there will be no more Supershows. Instead, CHA is partnering with existing craft shows to see if they want to include some of the vendors that would normally participate in the Supershow. I'm just SOOOO disappointed! The CHA Supershow in Anaheim last January was an experience of a lifetime. I met so many wonderful people, including many of my online friends and creative crafters whom I follow online on YouTube and Ustream. Lacy and I had planned on going again this January. When we were told there would be no Supershow this year in January, we began making plans to attend in 2012. This is no small feat since Lacy lives in Wisconsin, I live in California. We met in person for the first time last year at CHA.
