Graphic 45 ~ Unique Papercrafting

***Update***They won the award for Best Booth!! Told you it was good!
This booth was definitely one of the most beautifully decorated of all at CHA. It was jam packed with altered projects of all kinds. Lamp shades, boxes, trunks, bottles, frames...all done with paper!
Extremely wonderful! Hats off to this talented artist and her style. I'm not a scrapper, but I LOVE paper, ribbons, metal, glue, and ink. This company combines them with remarkable style for that warm vintage look of long ago. Graphic 45 ~ Simply stunning!

Can't think of any more TLFT, but if I do, I'll bring them back!

Friends at CHA - 2 posts in one day!

I LOVE it! Had to share!!!! Tim, Wendy, me, Linda, Lisa and Margaret!!! The group from Scrapbook Friend'z. I will be teaching there on Aug. 10th. A Bind-It-All book (learn how to use it). And it will have Grungeboard, Idea-ology bits (whoo hoo!) brads and pearls from KaiserCraft, and of course DISTRESS INKS AND STAMPERS ANONYMOUS STAMPS!!!


(for those who know the story....yes, I'm screaming!!!!!!)


Here's a sneak peak...I know I profess to hate them...but what can I do. This was so much fun to do. The little books are just way too fun and right up my alley.
Ink, ink and more ink. The original paper is somewhere under there!

The flower is much more of a red, since it's with Worn Lipstick, but the day is rainy here, and the picture needed better light. The ribbons and paper really do go together...trust me. Where have you heard THAT before? Honest.

Stampers Anonymous~ the Ultimate in Stamps

Stampers Anonymous has always been the Premier Imager of the stamp world. When first starting out, just to find a SA stamp was thrilling!!! You could spot them a mile away by their detail and composition. Tim's new stamps are my new favorites of his...of course!

This is a new one by Teresa Collins. Cecile drove us up to More than Memories so we could shop and talk to Kasey...what a knowledgeable gal!! You have to buy something if you're going to a convention!! GEEZ!

Anyway, don't you love this little work of art?? TOO COOL. I just had to stamp my new ones, got a few more from SA, and decided to share it with you. Nothing special, just a really neat image on great KaiserCraft papers.

I met Lisa Pavelka there giving a class on polymer class. She is so sweet, and such a talented lady. The girls in the class were wonderful. Loved my bracelet.

And here's the pitch. Go and see Wendy Vecchi's new line Studio 490 at SA. The storage binder is wonderful, and all sorts of ideas are printed on the back of each stamp package! Genius!!

One more ~ TLFT:

When using Distress Inks over Masks or if it gets on the back side of your unmounted stamps, they won't stick well. Clean with water and they are good to go! Simple, easy, but maybe you didn't know this....
