Birthdays Galore

I have lots of friends who have either just celebrated a birthday or have a birthday coming up.  Happy birthday ladies!!  Here are a couple of birthday cards I've been working on.

Debra's card-1

This card is made from a scrapbook frame that I covered in Magic Mesh.  I love Magic Mesh!  The little girl is stamped on canvas and sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

CHA Summer 2010-more inspiration

I thought I'd share some more of my favorites at CHA.  I really enjoyed the Ranger booth.  They always have neat products, and they give fabulous demos. 

Cha 2010 -1 I love these stamp sets.  They come in acrylic & foam.

I thought these Pop it! Shapes have lots of possibilities.  I love anything I can paint or ink to custom match my project.

Cha 2010 -1-3 Here are some great examples of Memory Glass.

The Prima booth was spectacular!  It was packed full of exciting new products and tons of inspiration!  I could have spent the entire day just looking at the mini books and layouts.

Tim Holtz-CHA summer 2010

It may seem like the camera is turned so Tim Holtz doesn't realize he is being stalked by me, BUT I intentionally turned it that way so that I could get a full shot of Tim and his stamping project (with no heads in the way).  I had no idea I would not be able to rotate the video once I shot it.  So, sorry for the sideways video, but it's Tim Holtz for goodness sake.  He's just as awesome sideways:-))

Oh, and here's what he made with lots of love especially for me…and, well, like 20 other people…

CHA Summer 2010 7 Gypsies

Cha summer 2010 7 gypsies-1
Another one of my favorites at CHA was 7 Gypsies.  Their Conservatory collection was gorgeous!  They have knocked it out of the park with this one.  This is another collection I can't wait to get  my hands on.  I have always loved 7 Gypsies, and this week was certainly a reminder of why.   Their hardware was exactly what I have come to expect, and the samples were stunning.
