CHA Bound!

I am SO excited................incredibly, terribly, wonderfully, joyfully THRILLED to be heading of to CHA in Anaheim with Hanna, Riley and Kristi of course.

I have dreamed of going to CHA for years as have many of my scrapping and stamping pals.....................so just pinch me once to make sure that I am not dreaming.

I can't wait to meet many of the Hanna Design Team as well as some of the stamp artists who have greatly inspired me over the past several years.

I am not sure if I will get to a computer to post all the new and exciting news, but I will sure to share lots of pictures and scoop when I return.

his little card was fashioned from the Beer Drinkin' Irish Riley Moose Stamp. I used masking to eliminate his mug as well as the clover on his hat. In order to do this, I essentially taped over the clover (hmmm over the clover...........sounds like a good Irish song!) and his glass while inking up and removed the tape prior to putting the image to paper. The Moose was coloured with SU! Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Aquapainters. The Sweet Designer Paper comes from the Provocraft Kids Pack. I LOVE 6x6 paper.............great for cardmaking. In order to create the Balloon, I used the 1.25 circle punch and shaded around the edges of the circle with Brilliant Blue ink in order to give it more dimension. I mounted the Balloon on a foam dimensional and curled wire for the Balloon String. Snaps in Primary Colours and Sentiment Stamps from Stampin' Up! complete this fun Birthday Card.

If I don't see you before the 15th of February it means that I am taking a walk on a warm beach somewhere and taking in all the Sizzling sights at CHA!!!!
