CHA Winter DAY 1

I finally had succumb to pay for the extra storage for my blog which compared to paying 14.95 or more per month for other blogs.. it was $5 for the year for 20mb more.  I can now finally post an update from CHA.  I loove attending CHA and be surrounded by friends, inspiration, make n takes, classes and not to mention...all the scrapbook celebs.  Of course, seeing all the new product releases in person.  It's such a different experience because they'll demo it and see the many samples that was used using those new products.  CHA is usually in ANAHEIM which btw, is way better than having it downtown LA.  The convention is just easier to get to from your hotel and you don't have to pay an insane amount of taxi fares.  Here's day one.... just me and my BF LISA. Here's some photos taken from Lisa.

My very good friend Patti.  She's such a sweet and crazy friend.  

Here's Patti's sidekick...Diana.  She's another good friend of mine and such sweet person too.  Together they own ART INSPIRED STUDIOS in Brentwood.  That's Brentwood in Northern California.  If you're ever in town or plan a trip to just visit to shop for some awesome scrapbooking products their store is where you want to definitely go.  Be careful, you'll do some serious damage.

First...check out Teresa Collins Booth.  Swoon!   Isn't it beautiful?

Here's a layout I used POSH collection.  I knew I had to do a layout with my best friend, LISA because this collection is just so us.  I used some of Teresa's bling gems and cut up some butterflies and clocks.  The clocks are from her other new collection called TIMELESS.

Oh my... and check out this POSH lace transparency.  It's to die for!!  So in love.

Here's a mini book which later will be featured on Teresa's blog that's in a frame.

Teresa has a collection with Coredinations that's called PRINCE and PRINCESS.  It coordinates with 2 of her new collections...ON THE EDGE and POSH.  It's sandable paper that reveals a design.
