You’re A Star

I can’t believe it but I actually had this card done ahead of time. If you know me at all you know get my cards done the night before. Yet lately I’ve been coloring my images ahead of time you have no idea how much this has helped me get me stuff done in advance.

Our girl Sherry who started her new job today and apparently it’s going pretty well. Her boy Alex has a birthday this week so she wanted us to make a masculine card in honor of him. As I don’t celebrate birthdays, I did make something close & definitely I believe to be masculine.

I hope you will take the time to go check out what the other sassy girls made.

Coming to You Live

From California at least.  Today was the last day of CHA Trade Show.  This week was a total and complete blast.  Granted a little exhausting ok, you twisted my arm A LOT exhausting.  I will try to break down what I saw and who I saw and some of the new goodies.  One of those was today when I was walking around with Kelly Alvarez, aka Lawn Fawn Cards.  She’s one of the sweetest.

We were able to learn about this new company called ScraPerfect.  They have 4 new really great products and it’s was all developed by a stay at home mom, how cool is that?  Gotta love us smart chicas.

One of them, is called the Embellie Gellie.  This is perfect for picking up your small embellishments.  For me when I saw this I immediately thought of Mini Rhinestones by Zva.  It has an automatic release.  I can’t wait to get home & try this bad boy.

Second, the Perfect Printing Pouch.  I wish I could remember all the ways they told us we could use this product but I’ll try to outline some of them for you.

• Preps vellum for your markers so they won’t smear (wonder how this will make them work with Copics)
• Doesn’t leave white powder on your project like an Embossing Buddy.
• It preps all kinds of surfaces to make it easier like wood, clay, etc.
• Deactivates adhesive if you have any showing extra on your project.
• Plus they have two different styles you can get them in depending on what you prefer.  One with a strap and the other is just handheld.

Then, the Perfect Cleaning Cloth.  It’s good for cleaning up fingerprints and powders off of your projects.  You can even use on your glass.  Here’s the kicker…wait for it…it’s washable.   NICE!!!, right?  Where other products might have left residue on your black cardstock, one swipe of the PCC and you would never have known.

Last & certainly not least, the Embellie Glue.  Right now it is in just prototype stage however what they showed us was really nice.  It’s super tacky & dries clear, it is a liquid.  You can use it even on ribbon but the good thing with this one as opposed to other liquid adhesives out there with ribbon it won’t soak through.  You can even use it to glue onto fabric and after setting for 48 hours it can be thrown into a dryer & come out great.
