At first I thought I dont know how I would use it but once I started playing around with it I cant run out of ideas. I have not scrapbook like this in a long while. I mean pretty good LO's in a short amount of time. I finished 3 complete LO's tonight and 2 last night. Not bad if you ask me.
Last year picture of Isabella with our easter eggs that we decorated. I am planning on displaying this on a stand when it get's close to easter since it is such a 3 dimensional page. I luv how the technique of folding the paper like this creates an instand frame and making the picture stand out and important. I luv the loo on her face in these pictures so it has to be the center of attention.
Picture of Isaac on his birthday last year. He had to taste the cake to make sure it was alright before we could dig in and eat it. Paper is from Whoop De Doo combined with some Daydream Ensemble. Green chipboard are from Target dollar spot and the smaller font I won in a challenge online so dont know the name. Distressed Heidi Swapp flower and chipboard with brown chalk ink.
Paper is GCD Studio Whoop De Doo collection. I luv the colors in this almost look like the new Fancy CS colors they came out with this year. Perfect for boy LO's. I called this LO Rain tradition becuz growing up in the Philippines it was tradition to play in the rain when it was the rainy season. I dont know if there was not enough water to go around so we had to take advantage of taking a shower in the rain or a real tradition. hehehhe But in any case I make it a point or a tradition that once rainy season starts you can guarantee to see me and my kids playing outside in the rain. People might think I am crazy but I love the memories we have made with this simple tradition. Plus my kids think I am a fun mom! ; ) Of course there is no picture of me wet and playing since I am the only picture taker. Maybe since Jorge is home now he can take picture of us next time.
Finished these LO's last night. Using GCD Studio's Rose Colored Glass paper collection. This pad is awesome cuz it is all girly and pink.....perfect for my CHABELLA! Used Daisy D polkadot rickrack, bling, AMC thickers and Stampin Up calendar stamps. Cut out the flowers from another exact paper to make the 3D look and make it more heavy. Luv how it turned. Very simple but cute. I made my own scallope paper using black polkadot paper from Scrapworks paper pad. I also roughed up the edges of the paper to make it more look shabby. 
This is the make n take at the Heidi Swapp booth at CHA. The PP is just a print out with the corner and circle journal space. They also provided the butterflies and happiness tag. Everthing else is mine. Princess and daughter chipboard are KandCo., bling is from Target dollar spot and the words "you bring me" are my handwritting. This is a picture of Isabella in one of her all time fave outfit (ballerina dress).
This was the first night after CI party. First time meeting the AMM DT ladies. I don't really remember what we were cracking up about but it looks like it was really funny! ha. From the left Meredith, Michelle, Amy, Allison and myself. And we haven't even had drinks yet...talking about me. 
M&M's! Michelle and Michelle. I still think you look gorgeous in that sweater. HOT MAMA!
We also got to meet Donna Downey and her hubby Bill. I wonder where the picture of that is? He was so nice and she was too. We caught them early on the second day of CHA before it got really busy. Which was a good thing cuz she was soo happy to take pics with us.
Anna Griffin and myself. I kinda stalked her for this picture. Some lady was talking to her forever and I just did not want to interrupt. That's just RUDE! But finally I got my picture. Her booth was so elegant and lady like. Kinda like how you would want your bedroom to be all girly. Luv all the stuff she makes. I am so glad AMM will carry a lot of her products and cant wait to get a hold of it. YUMMY!
Talking about yummy! These were hot in at CHA, they were all over the place. And not just in fabric even in paper. But I mostly luv the handcrafted one's made out of fabric or old sweater. Aren't they just the cutest little things. I wanna learn how to make these so I can display them in my scrap room.
Oh and last but not the least the only picture we could snap the day we saw Lisa Bearnson. As I said on the other post she was with suit's and ties and Karen took a quick snapshot of her looking at some Elsie products. A big thank you to Karen for letting me post this pictures taken by her. Thank you Karen!
The first night I got to go to the CI (Creative Imagination) party with Michelle and Allison and we got to meet Kristine Adolf. She has come out with some new products and my fave is using her foil and adhesive rub ons and creating this settle but unique look. I luv how she used just an ordinary dot adhesive to creat a look of dimension to this bird in front of this album. Its hard to see but man it looks awesome. She was really sweet in person too.
Of course Heidi Swapp. I luv her booth. Her new paper line is soo cool. She is soo nice and gracious as well as her sister Katie who was working at the make and takes. They were generous with their products and just nice. I was a little scared to ask but she was really cool and someone in the booth offered to take our pictures even before I could ask to be in it. So cool meeting her in person.
Elsie what a cutie. I waited until the booth was not soo busy before asking her. She was kind and sweet and didnt even stop a beat when I asked her if I could take a picture with her. I think it was funny cuz everyone I was with knew I was there to take as much pics as I can with people I wanted to get to meet in person. Christina Contes was there also on this day but she was busy doing a video interview of some sort so didnt want to bother her as well. She is much shorter in person and styling a new haircut and color.
Tim Holtz one of my fave's. Let me tell you it was soo hard to not ask him to take a pic with me. But I did not cuz he was in the middle of teaching a make a take or show of using his product. I remember meeting him before in Carson Rubberstamp show but he was not as big as now. And boy there was quiet a few ladies watching him so I settled for this picture of him teaching how to use his inks. He is very nice in person and very approachable. I was just too shy to ask. Wish I would have caught him when he was not busy. Actually I did on the first day he was just standing around with someone at this booth but again I was too scared to ask I was by myself so I just kept on walking. hehehehe
Here is a really geeky story about this picture. I saw Ali Edwards the first night at CI (creative imaginations) party. She was getting her food just a few steps ahead of us and I wanted to just jump and ask her for a picture....but I didnt cuz I was thinking man she is wanting to eat I will leave her alone. So that night I kinda stalked her but there are too many people talking to her. So Michelle and Allison tells me its okay she will be at CHA and will bound to see her again. The next day I see her again and once again she is stopped by a mob of people and like a geek I am too embarassed to ask. So finally the day before the last show I see her crouching on the floor talking to someone but a friend or something and Allison and Karen convinced now is the time and she would not mind since there isnt much people around. As soon as I asked she of course said "of course no problem." Yay! Then she stood up and all I could say to her "Oh my gosh you are so tall and I am soo short!" How embarassing she just kinda laugh and said yeah! Out of all things to say I say that. She was very sweet and nice. HOnestly she was the whole show everytime I see her she is smiling and I bow down to her cuz the whole show (well when I see her)she would be showing off her shoes and they are high. I dont know how she did it cuz everynight I was dying and so tired from walkint. She was so cute with her outfits and shoes matching...she looked great the whole CHA. Its a good thing I ask her on this day since we didnt make it for the last day of CHA and even though its blurry I luv this picture this is just after I said how tall she was and how short I am. You can tell we were chuckling about it but inside I was embarassed. hehehe
