~CHA Sneak Peek...Happy Thursday everyone!~

Good morning everyone!
I have been waiting MONTHS to share this.

As you know this is my first year to have
sneak previews and work on projects for CHA
and it has been a BLAST I tell ya!

This is the brand new Gingerbread Banner from Clear Scraps,
not even released yet, it's coming out for CHA

Of course I used my Helmar 450 Quick Dry because it IS
an acrylic product and I needed the PERFECT glue for it.

Also I used my i-rock tool for all the amazing gems...
and they are stuck on their for good!

I also used a new product *new to me*
VIVA PEARL PENS *swoon* love these things!
See the border on the gingerbread men??
That is Viva and it dries in a snap!

And my handy dandy Helmar clear Zapdots with glitter
because every gingerbread man needs a little BLING!

I wanted to keep it simple and show the acrylic.
I wish I has a special 8 foot studio for photographing these.No matter how hard I tried I could not get
the entire banner in the shot!!!!!
It is 2 snowflakes, 4 gingerbread men, and 1 house...and the house
is like 8-10" it's a great sized banner
It spans my wall with the long lace I added.

So, are you going to CHA??
I hope so...if you are PLEASE come by and say hello.
I will have some projects at the Clear Scraps Booth #1707

My home base will be Helmar Booth #1230

You might also find me at Imaginisce Booth #1417
or a couple other places *wink*

I am getting so excited and there is so much to do...
that same week I have to register the boys
for their new school
You know we moved across town and they are
a little upset about changing schools.
But I know in my heart it is for the best.

~OK I am off the boys need food and
they want to go to the pool today!~
~Have a great day y'all~

~Thanks for popping by~

~School time is coming up fast!~

Morning everyone.
Can you believe here we only have 2.5 weeks until
school begins? I am just blown away by how
short summers are now.
When I was a child we had 12 weeks off, now
they barely and I mean BARELY have 8 weeks.

Getting the Apple Cider line from Imaginisce
reminded me that fall is fast approaching, so
I decided to make some back to school cards.

So far I have made 1 LOL
And it took me an hour.
Of course I was playing with my Cricut, and the i-rock tool
while doing it. It was very therapeutic.

I took a wide piece of tulle, I think it was 4" and I
gathered it. Then I glued it down with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
Then I used Helmar Zapdots and put them over the tulle
and added the wood grain paper.
I like the end result with the tulle on both sides.

I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the words,
and the i-rock tool for all the gems.
That i-rock tool is addicting!!!

I am going to do 2 classes with the i-rock on August 21st.
The class is ONLY 10.00 and I will bring the tool to play with.
If you are anywhere near Kentucky, let me know
the Scrapbook Village is hosting! :)
They are hosting with a PINK dessert too LOL

Well, today is another summer fun day
I feel the library coming on....

~Have a great Wednesday~
