A few more CHA Sneak Peeks...

With CHA Winter starting tomorrow I wanted to share a few more projects I did for Creative Imaginations. I already shared Samantha Walker's "Nautical" collection earlier, a great summer line with tons a beachy embellishmants.

IOD's "Ragamuffin" collection is so reminiscent of childhood that it was a delight to work with! Here's a look at the collection and my layout - this is one of my FAV new releases BTW!! 

Samantha Walker's collections are always fun to create with and her new release "Tea Party" was no exception! Here's the collection and my layouts ...

If you need a paper collection to highlight all your dance recital photos then Art Warehouse "Love Dance" is perfect! This new release has fun pinks, greys and blacks that blend together well to coordinate with the pink and silvery ruffles on dance outfits ...

 Here's my layout - Katelynn's dress really shines with this collection ...

TFL and be sure to check out all the AMAZING new products from Creative Imaginations CHA Winter 2012!

Happy 2012!!!

I hope everyone had a fun, happy Holiday season! I spent some time with my family and friends and furry family friends!!  It is always great to have a break from work and the daily routine and just ENJOY and appreciate life. I am thankful to have a job and what that income allows me to do but I often feel like it prevents me from doing so much more ... especially crafty things. At times I find myself resenting my job and the time it robs me of. I so need to get over this because I really don't have an option as I need the benefits the job provides.

So, I'm trying to be more positive about this and accept that this is the way it has to be. I now have a few days off a month and I am hoping to make the best of those days and savor them. I want to be creative on those days - even if it's merely organizing my studio space, shooting pics, or actually gluing paper down, painting and gettin' messy! I also want to take more classes and learn more mixed media techniques and products as that has really sparked my creativity. I would LOVE to attend more crops and connect with my friends more often.

I have been busy creating this past month - projects for CHA, so I'll be able to share those soon. Thanks for listening and here's to a POSITIVELY great 2012!!
