CHA How about some SCRAPBOOKING already!

I finally polished off the CHA updates and make-n-take projects.
So here is your CHA project fix!

This is a fun, very tactile little book from the Creative Cafe booth!

I say tactile because this book is made from three different fibers.
The cover of this file shaped book is chipboard, and the inside pages
are a mix of cardstock and the Creative Cafe signature polka dot felt.

Here is a layout from the Making Memories booth that I
tweaked a bit to make it me.

I Used the Romance Board to create the scalloped edge from the adorable
giraffe motif strip. I then added some perfect medium to the edges and
embossed it with Tim Holtz distress pink.

Carrie from the brand new eco-friendly paper company
Paper Trunk gave me some 4x4 samples of their new line at the show. These where perfect to play with some mini pieces from Bare Elements.

I love how this little box turned out. I used all kinds of little things I picked up at CHA,
Paper Trunk Papers, Amanda Blu Bling Letter, Around the Block chipboard and Puffy Brad.
I also used a little mirror I have had but I Scraplifted the stamping from Heidi Swapp's new line of mirrors.

This box represents our family, when you look in the mirror,
our home on the front,

The V is for Venn of course thats us,
and the BE YOU is how I hope us to be..... US,

The sun that says Sunny Days is a perfect sentiment for how we want to live,

and the purpose for this box is to keep notes on all of the wonderful
things I want for my family. I got this idea from The Secret.
This is our Secret box and I am serious when I say it works.....
Put it out there in a Secret Box and see!

Acrylic is everywhere. I was just playing around with this mini-mini Zutter book.
I again used the Paper Trunk papers along with some rub-ons.

I love this tag using these awesome VINYL rub-ons from Scrapworks.

This is a mix of the new Luxe Designs papers on a name tag for me.

Of course we love the Heidi Swapp make-n-take cards.
So quick and yet such an impact.

Oh, looks like I have a few more make-n-takes from Glitz I need to play with................

CHA Seven Gypsies

Do you know who is all about mini books?
7 Gypsies that's who.

They have improved upon their signature
ATC card holder with plastic covers for the pages.

I love this as a conversation album. One you can leave
out for thumbing through.

They have also come out with 2 new lines of mini albums.
Naked Journals and Ringed board books.

If you have not opened up to mini books challenge
yourself to try a pre-binded book like one of 7 Gypsies
because it is so gratifying to have a complete project and story!

Of course we love the new styles of their old favorites too
like book their binding tape.

Oh I feel the mini book itch coming on......
