CHA Was Totally Awesome!!

I had a fantastic time with the Swirlygirls at CHA!! I can't even begin to describe how inspiring it is to see everything in person! I saw Tim Holtz demonstrating his products. I actually met and talked with Anna Dabrowska. What a genuinely sweet person!! I took a ton of pictures but I am only showing my top picks!

Here's my favorite of me and the Swirlygirls!

This is Lisa Gregory at the DCWV booth.

Their booth is soo cool!

Here are some pictures from the Fab Scraps booth.

Here are some photos from the G45 booth.

  

This is from Connie's Crystals. What she does with them is awe inspiring!! The picture does not do the dress justice!

Thanks for stopping by!

Adorable You (Swirlyhues Challenge)

Today I have my entry for this months Swirlyhues challenge at Swirlydoo's. I used this months Antiquities kit. I love this kit!! Everything in it is beautiful!

For the challenge I had to use one of the tutorials on the Swirlydoo's site. I used Pascale's Coventry Rose tutorial. All the punches used were Martha Stewart Punches. The leaves were created with the Foliage Spellinder dies. I used a mixture of the papers when making the leaves. I love the effect! I used four mini flourishes made by Dusty Attic. As is my habit lately, I used liquid pearls. The photo of course, is of my sweet granddaughter. 

Here's my layout:

And here are some closeups:

The brown flower in the middle is the one I made using the tutorial. It doesn't look like hers but I still like it!
