Finally, I can share a bit of what I made for CHA!

I created this little mini album using the new Le Romantique Line for Graphic 45:

And I also created this mini album for Graphic 45 using the new On The Boardwalk Line:

Here’s a look at at the albums inside the Graphic 45 Booth at CHA 2010:

Pretty fun!  I still have to pinch myself!

Walking around the CHA booths yesterday was like entering into craft heaven!  My mom and I tagged along with the lovely ladies from Paradise Scrapbook Boutique (Karen & Deb), we had a blast!

There are so many talented scrapbookers!  I left feeling SO INSPIRED and I have another 2 FULL DAYS of inspiration ahead.

Now, for Just a few of the photos I took yesterday while browsing around the different booths.

How could you walk away from CHA 2010 and not feel inspired?

As promised, here are some (tons of) photos of my Making Memories Christmas Album!

I absolutely LOVE all of the Making Memories product!

I love that all of Making Memories papers have matching embellishments. I’m definitely an embellishment girl (as I’m sure you can tell).

Would you like to peek inside?

I thought so.

Here’s page one and two…along with some photos of the little details:

Moving on…

Here’s page three and four:

I stamped a flourish on this page with green ink.  It didn’t show up very well so I covered it with glitter glue.  Accidents happen.  Even in scrapbooking.

Now…page five and six:

I like the soft look of these pages.  Here’s a peek at the details:

I always have a hard time with the last two pages of a mini album.  I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s a subconscious thing…or maybe I’m just creatively spent?  I just don’t know why I struggle on the last pages but I do. I really, really do.

Here’s a look at page seven and eight:

I’m not sure if you can tell…the following photo shows paper with red glittered polka dots.  Fabulous! I loved red glittered polka dots!

Well ladies and gents – that’s all for now.  I hope you enjoyed taking a gander and my little Making Memories Christmas Mini Album.

Have a wonderful day!

I created a new banner for my blog a few days ago….here’s a little peak at what’s to come.

What do you think?

Hallelujah!  A small miracle happened yesterday.  I actually found time to scrapbook!

Both Parker and Izabelle spent time with friends yesterday after school.  Suddenly my whole afternoon opened up!  It was wonderful!  I actually finished a layout!

I used the Making Memories “Flower Patch” Line and the Sassafras “Vintage Yummy” Line to create this layout of my sweet new niece, Addie:

I used Vintage buttons and a Vintage Brooch in the center of the flowers.  I love the way it turned out.

I love, love, love the Vintage Yummy line from Sassafras.  I cut out little frames from the paper and popped them up using pop-dots.

I love this little framed baby:

I got my scrapbooking fix!  Now I can move on to cleaning my house.
