Need to STOP looking...

through all the CHA sneaks. I really do! I am just dying here. Here are some of my current FAVES right now:

Maya Road

SERIOUSLY! How do they do it. Every time they come out with new products I just end up loving everything. But then again I am a doo dads kinda gal. These had me at hello! I want these sooo bad. What I would do to get on their DT.

Crate Toy Box

OMG this is a MUST HAVE. I am really trying to catch up on scrapping my son's pics. And this is just perfect for all those shots of him playing with his toys, dinos all kinds of stuff. LOVE THIS. Love the Emma line too of course. Since I am obsessed with scrapping my daughter and anything girly.

Studio Calico

I think its called Countryside. YUM! I want everything that goes with their lines. EVERYTHING!

Studio Calico State Fair

C'mon with matching Mister's! I also love all the rub-ons and notions.

PRIMA PRIMA PRIMA

Oh how I love me some Prima! I could have posted a thousand pics of all their flowers but I stuck with these. I just think these are so elegant. Love the colors! I might edit this post when I get more time to post my fave flowers from them. If not just go to their blog and see their flower you will pretty much agree ALL OF THEM are a MUST.

Tim Holtz Dies

Oooooh Weeee! I still have not been able to get a hold of his last release dies but these are my fave from this CHA.

Studio Calico Wood Veneers

Oh my gosh! And I also want the Pink Paislee and Kaiser Crafts one. Soo many have wood veneers out. Really going to be fun creating with all these goodies.

My Minds Eye

Not really my fave CHA release from them this year. Although I did manage to find one line that I would like to play with. I think its cuz it reminds of the Basic Grey line from a while back that I still love and have not touch to this day.

Kaiser Crafts has a line called Gabrielle that I like too. Just too tired to keep posting pics since I did it like 3 times over, due to blogspot freaking out on me.

Anyway...I know, I am a horrible person. I just wanted to share the drool fest going on in front of my computer. I hope you are like me, just dying to get these goodies in your hands. I must scrap cuz I need to finish using up some goodies that are yet to be touched before I allow myself to go crazy buying all these. YIKES!

Have a great day!

I know, exciting right? But before I give you all the info let me share with you what I have been working on. Go ahead, say it......BOOO! I know I am such a tease, but hey its worth the wait I promise!

I was really happy when I opened my box to see the October Afternoon Campfire line. And I knew the perfect picture to go with it. Here is my LO below using the line.

Six Little Critters

I used everything from the line, plus I added a few paper from Weathervane to create the little hill and the pop dotted clouds. I think it turned out exactly how I had imagined it.

Color Combo Challenge #176

Go to Color Combos Galore to see their DT's take on the challenge as well as the YSS DT's work.

My LO below "My SWEET HANDSOME Little Boy" is my take on the challenge. Here is another LO using Echo Park Little Boy collection. I mean how perfect is that huge sticker as my tittle. Come on, that was a given that I will use it as a tittle.

How easy was that? REAL EASY! I love it when I don't have to do much to make a good impact on my page. I just added the SWEET and HANDSOME sticker and big alpha stickers for (MY) that came along the sticker page. Super easy, plus this collection is so awesome that I am addicted to it. I cant seem to stop creating pages and cards. So stay tune cuz I have tons coming up.

Supplies: Echo Park Little Boy paper & stickers, Martha Stewart bakers twine, Stampin Up scallop punch, Marvy Uchiva circle punch, EK Success scallop punch, Creative Charms blue vintage jewels and white pearls and using all Love my tapes roll on glue.

Color Combos #175 Challenge

Is up and running! Here is Palette #175. I hope you play along with us.

You can see the Color Combos Galore Team and Your Scrapbook Stash Design Teams take on the CCG blog. We are so lucky to be the Guest Designers for this months challenge. The color's are perfect and fun.

When I received my box from YSS and saw that I get to play with Echo Park Little Boy line, I was so excited. It went perfectly with the CCG Palette and for my little boys pictures. Here is what I created below.

You COMFORT me!

I did a small tutorial using Faux Finish background stamps in the background white paper to create dimension on my page. It just added the perfect little something for the page. It's not a lot of work but worth the effort to give your pages that little special touch.

Here's a closer pic of the stamp background. As you can see it's not dark at all but in person you can see the effect it creates better. Supplies: Echo Park Little Boy line paper and journaling spot, Color Box Chalk ink in Chesnut roan, Stampendous Faux Finish quad stamps, Stampin Up orange ink pad and Creative Charms Orange bling.

Oh, and if you care to look...my pic and bio is up on YSS blog as they take the time to feature the new design team. Thanks so much YSS!
