CHA Sneak Peeks

Can you just imagine 

walking up these steps and entering into the over 1.6 million square feet of exhibit space stuffed full of new crafting supplies... a crafter's dream, for sure. Well, maybe I can't go this year, but I still have the dream... and I can still shop the supplies. 

The last few days I've been 

providing some sneak peeks of the new product that I've found here and there on manufactures, etc blogs. Please enjoy!

Thank You Cards And More CHA Sneak Peeks

I made five of these

thank you cards. Each a bit different, but all with this lovely bird image from The Graphics Fairy. When I do multiplies of cards, I like to use the pre-folded card blanks that come with envelopes to speed things up. You can buy them at Michaels or if you have a Pat Catans nearby, they carry an inexpensive bulk package in the Darice brand that are white or ivory.

The patterned paper is

by Glitz and is single sided. I had two sheets of it... which I probably bought a couple years ago. The name on the back is Vintage Love, but I'm guessing that it's no longer available. 

I gathered together all

the scraps of blue cardstock I could find and came up with enough for the five cards... each having a different shade.

The snowflakes were cut

with Alterations Mini Snowflake dies... the rhinestones are from TPC Studio. The ink is Archival Jet Black for the stamping and Vintage Photo Distress for the edging.

That's the first two.

Now, a few more sneak peeks

of new scrappy stuff I've found that will be presented to the public at CHA next week.

The Future And A few CHA Sneak Peeks

I have this saying written

in one of my journals. I'm not sure of the source, but it has a lot of meaning for me and I wanted to share it. 

I did some playing with 

acrylic paint and Golden molding paste, then stamped on the verse with Archival aquamarine ink and traced over it with a Pitt pen. (Because of tremors in my hands, I'm not always able to write very well.) I highlighted the flowers with Seedless Preserves and the ferns with Bundled Sage Distress Inks.
