I am scared of Monkeys

I blame it on the Wizard of Oz. Or Jane Goodall.

Somebody traumatized me with a monkey and there's no coming back. Well, except for sock monkeys.

And THESE monkeys!! Look at the little girl monkey!!! If real monkeys looked like this my house would be filled with them!!

These little fellas are from the Doodle Factory Valentine's Remix.

I just colored them with Copics, and paper pieced the foliage. Very simple and quick card. I like the font on these greetings. The typography of the stamping world has improved a lot in a pretty short period of time. I must not be the only person in love with type!!

Wascally Woving - CHA Day 2

Look at these felted cupcakes!!! The lady who was felting was at the Martha booth and she called the roving "woving" which I thought was adorable!!!!! That wascally woving makes weally cute cupcakes!!
I'm going to have to break this post up because Disneyland is jamming our internet and Kydia is NOT happy about the mouse interfering with her PRESSDUTIES!!!

Kydia will write a scathing expose in the New York Times, she will. HMPH.

The Ranger product displays were gorgeous

I have no idea what company this was but is this stuff not adorable??

The big old bucket of Primas! All you can grab in ten seconds!!
I want to try this copper engraving
Look at these stunning velvet trims
This is an enamel technique. Take a simple outline sticker and turn it into something stunning with Sakura Glaze Pens. The Sakura people were awesome.
They let us do the same technique with a yoyo.
Wow.
Wow.
Oh - ooopsie! The place caught on fire and we all headed to the nearest exit.
These are iron ons!! The black ones are glittery!!
Look how cute they are on fabric!

WOW - Peel and stick chalkboard and dry erase board. This stuff is COOL and very thin. Repositionable and it doesn't hurt your walls!
Martha's birds ROCK.
Aah - Martha's blue cameos. Hey - all her punches are green now. I'm not jazzed. The white is prettier.
Oooh - a Martha glittery bird.
The Holy Grail my friends. The EK stackable folding punches. Two of them aren't even as big as a regular punch!!
You can stack them on a surface or vertically, and YOU get to put the image stickers on after you decide which way you want to store them!
Here's the bottom. That little blue thing is what you slide to release it from the collapsed position and use it.
Here it is popped up. Looks like a stapler.
This is a prototype of a new airbrush gun.. The pigment is in that little packet. This means the pigment doesn't go through the gun so you don't have clean it! Loved it.
Here's what I made in my embossing metal class!! Oh, wait - no it's not - it's the teacher's sample. Heh heh. Fooled u.
Here's mine halfway through.
Here's my finished one. No it's not. Lied again. What a great class!! The class was taught by a lady named Magdalena who is from Mexico who now lives in Dallas - she is amazing.She is the owner of MercArt.
More me. I'm not very good but it was fun.
K. Gotta go for today's show.

XO.

CHA, Day 1 - Sticky @$$ Glue!!!

This is my ride from the airport. And we're not supposed to TEXT and drive?? WTH?
Look at these heavenly little raspberry chocolate numbers at the SCS cupcake reception!!
Filled with marvelous people I'd never met in real life. Lori Craig is possibly the sweetest woman on earth..


One of my favorite booths yesterday was Flower Soft. This is a product I'm working on for Starving Artistamps and it's amazing. It's from England and it creates these soft, 3D realistic flowers. ( I used it for my sheep fur on this card.) But what these ladies showed us with it would just blow your mind. My photos don't do it justice. And it's EASY to use!! It makes flocking look very primitive!




The Hanna Stamps ladies are SOOO fun!!
If you could see the millions of beautiful papers you'd go into hoard overload!!
Look at this new Nestabilities embossing plate. It's so delicate that you can cut it apart into separate designs!!
Here after using it, she sands this glossy black paper to show off the patter . Really cool.
Look at all these new goodies!!

I LOVED ALL THE GLITTERED CHIPBOARD PIECES!!
Full glittered sheets too for punching. So pretty.
I thought 7 Gypsies booth was the prettiest I saw yesterday. Of course I've seen like 1/8 of it.
Lookie! This binder is amazing!!!!!
Look at this fun recipe book.
Okay - this was my booth of the day. It was a company called Uberstix (love the name). This thing he's holding is the world's first precision cutter that is safe for ages THREE AND UP!! Little kids can precisely cut popsicle sticks, leather, wood, anything - how cool is that???? Can you imagine the fun little boys will have with this??? I love this idea and the CEO was an amazing man. What a great thing for him to do. I so want to make a p-stick cabin now!!
They also make Uberstix which are these crazy fun building thingies that you can make bats with wings that flap, boats with water bottle floats - so addicting! They can be custom cut in the cutter too!! Definitely my favorite booth of Sunday.
Well, except maybe this. If I had a glue company I totally would have called it STICKY ASS GLUE!! I LOVE THIS!!
Look at all the different things it holds together. Tile, wood, foam, metal, PVC - amazing.
I'm not certain how many multicolored chickens had to die to decorate this booth, but most of us just made the sign of the cross and averted our eyes. Bless their little avian souls.

This gent from England was doing the most incredible watercolor..
..
WOW - this Versamark Dazzle does INCREDIBLE things!!

This whole booth was made from cardboard!!
Read this nametag carefully out loud a few times. You'll get it! ;)
Here is my card in the Indie Craft Showcase!!

Oh my - look at this blue Liquitex Ink!!!
OH MY - WHY IS A STORMTROOPER KILLING MY SISTER?
Oh - well - he has an artistic side!
Here's my painting I made at the Liquitex booth - their inks are amazing. Their instructor, Marla was so unbelievably great.
Aaah- Maddie would love this booth!
Here are some of the NEW magazines coming from Stampington!!

I'm off for day 2!! Should be great!!!

Oh PS - I got Press Credentials - that's why I can take pictures!! :) Turns out - I'm #14 on the Stamping Top 50 websites!!
