Quick Trip to California…
I didn’t get a lot of sleep last weekend but I sure got a lot done!
I spent the weekend pigging out on more than just food, I had my fair share of paper too!
Last weekend was Paradise Scrapbook Boutique’s 3rd Anniversary crop! I had a blast spending time with all my scrapbooking pals in California! It was worth the 13 hour drive to get there.
Karen, the store owner had set up beautiful product displays…check out her fantastic Halloween display:
Karen even hung purple lights wrapped around black branches from the ceiling. Brilliant!
I know, it totally makes you want to create right?
Karen purchased some of the new Graphic 45 Domestic Goddess paper to display in her refrigerator. My little G45 book is on the top shelf (I know, I know…it’s a shameless plug).
There was a whole Kitchen/Cooking theme for the crop. They gave away wonderful Cooking Themed goodies and product all weekend! We were so spoiled. I even won the grand prize on Friday night! A brand new White Ribbon Box by Making Memories! Thanks Karen!
(I tried to find a photo of the Ribbon Box online, here’s a link: Ribbon Storage).
Karen gave everyone a naked recipe box and the new Haute Cuisine Paper by, Teresa Collins as a free gift (along with other goodies) at the Saturday Crop. Karen asked me to make a sample using the recipe box and TC paper for her display.
Me? Play with paper?
Gosh, twist my arm.
I totally obliged.
Here’s a couple shots of the recipe box on display with the Teresa Collins paper:
I had tons of fun at the two-day crop and laughed until my side hurt all weekend!
…totally worth the 13 hour drive back home again.

Christie….I love your creations. I’m one of the lucky ones, I get to see them at PSB – up close and personal! Karen’s shop is beautiful. She sure makes creating fun. We miss you in California! Your grass-scikles remind me of my childhood and I’m glad I’m here.
