A Hodge-Podge of Photos from CHA


This is just for fun...no rhyme or reason to it at all.

Just just take it for what it's worth...entertainment.



I LOVED this project we made in Donna Downey's class!!!

It's an 8x8 canvas with Gelatos, inks, paper, stamps...oh, so much going on here!



And so happy for Candy Rosenberg's creation winning Fan's Favorite and Judge's Favorite of the show!



The detail here is over-the-top amazing...check out the bird.

Congrats to Candy!!!



Did you hear Graphic 45 had a Vintage Photo Booth???

It was so cool...hats, boas, fans...etc...here Charee and I posed for a really fun shot.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Graphic 45 family and all their products.

Definitely the Royal Family of Paper Crafting.

Sadly I didn't get one single shot of the booth...what was wrong with me??? I was too stunned to take photos I guess.


I just gotta show you one of my favorite shots from the show with Gentleman Jim Hankins and Shelly Hickox...fellow DT members. xxx


And now for the "Shelly Show!"

Check out these fabulous projects she brought to the show.

Her Apothecary Shop on Wheels..awesome.



Her snowman project..gorgeous.


Her cards sitting amongst the new Bags from Tim.


And this one is fantastic....the fold-out Halloween box!

She's after your job Vanna!



Now, we're on to KaiserCraft...oh what beautiful projects in here.

Love the Christmas things...



And these storage units....be still my beating heart!



More to drool over..... I didn't get a picture of my girl Melissa Kennedy, but we always have a great hug.

Be well, my friend.



This is a T-shirt with the new Fabric Paints in a pen by Tulip.

I truly loved doing this class with Judy Haeffle from Prairie Art Stamps...she is such a talented Artist.

She paints like nobody's business...

  Soooooo many possibilities here.

Then we highlighted it with glitter.

I need to do it again to do it well, but you get the idea. They are PERMANENT when dry. Not heat setting involved. Brilliant!


The Uber Talented Ania Dabrowska aka Finnabair, in front of her masterpieces in the Prima booth.
 (sorry I misspelled earlier..corrected now)
She is as sweet as she is brilliant.



The lighting in the hall makes for terrible pictures, but this is a new board with some awesome creations on it...I think Kaz and Candy C. are on here...just guessing.


A couple of more of the dresses...sorry I don't know the designer, but she got honors as well.



And one more of my faves!




These new stamp designs are hand drawn by Mario Jr. for Stamper's Anonymous.

They were on a large drafting table in the display.


And this is part of the SA booth.


This gorgeous beauty was sitting in the LeBlanche booth...I think...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

She was stunning!


Now I'll bore you with pictures of me and friends.

The ever popular Dylan Reaveley..Lady Dy!




Caesar and Gentleman Jim.


And Lynne Forsythe and I after a fun, fun day.

She's really on a Roll....you go get 'em, girlfriend!!!



And last, but certainly not least, the gorgeous Lisa M. Pace.

Her class was OUTSTANDING...when I get it done, I'll post a picture.

This one is awful of me...looks just like me though, but Lisa is gorgeous here, so I had to post it. She is stunning as a redhead.

That's all I got.....let's hear it for all the talented people who worked TONs, and TONs of hours to help put this show together.

Your Friend in ART,

Linda
