CHA Bound!

It’s – WOO HOO and I’m CHA bound! I leave tomorrow and can’t wait to meet up with Jeanne, Kittie, Tosha and Dave. To top it all off, Linda Duke is gonna be hanging with us too. As a matter of fact, I get to meet up with Kittie on the plane. She will be joining me in Phoenix and we’ll be flying the last leg together!!! I’m saving the seat, Kittie’s bringing the salads. There is so much to do while we are there, and I will be blogging every day. I’m hoping to get my first post in tomorrow night after we’ve settled in. That is, if I’m not too tired from the flight and the events planned for tomorrow evening.

Thank you all for the replies on my product question. I had no idea that so many of you liked seeing the photos! I was amazed at all the positive responses. Because of the overwhelming positive responses, the product photos will stay. The only time they may not be there is when I’ve made a card well in advance of posting and am not in a situation to recreate the product.

I’ve been trying to get some samples together to take with me, and my card today is one of those samples. Rubbernecker, even though they are not exhibiting at CHA, will be at the Heirloom’s San Mateo Rubber Stamps & Paper Arts Festival on February 15th and 16th. Since Jeanne and I will still be in California, we’ll be working that show with Dave. I don’t think Dave realizes what he’s gotten himself into!!!

The image was stamped in Adirondack Pitch Black and colored with Copic Markers. The hearts were colored with a Red Spica Glitter Pen and the music notes and movement marks were highlighted with a Sakura Jelly Roll Shimmer Pen. The edges of the image were sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Ranger Liquid Pearls were used on the scalloped circle. The piece of green designer paper was cut with Fiskars Scalloped Edged Scissors. All designer paper was sewn to background layers on the sewing machine.

Well, I’m off now to get the last minute essentials and finish packing! Oops, also have to get the books off Mallory’s bed before she gets home next weekend! Part of the destruction I made with the Rubber Room Remodel.
