CHA Binder #3

Last, but not least, Binder #3. *smile* This one is a bit simpler than the rest. But I love the colors and papers. The dp is all Graphic 45 (LOVE this stuff), with a mat frame of Suede Brown Dark (Prismatics). The Gorgeous flower and frame is another JustRite image from one of their newest released sets called My Garden. It's stamped with Vintage Sepia Versafine, embossed with Clear ep, watercolored with Tombows and paper toled. The leaves were made with a PunchBunch leaf punch, and the charm is a Metal Mini Tag by Nunn Designs. It's soooo easy to make because it has a ridge of the shape on the back. So all you have to do is take your card stock, or paper, lay it over the charm and run your stylus around the ridge. You then have the exact sized oval or square to cut out and fit in the charm.

I stamped "CHA" with my Times Roman font (JR) and filled the charm in with some Diamond Glaze (JudiKins). Finally, I added some Rhinestones (Zva Creative and Kaisercraft) and Ribbon (PTI). Everything was ink distressed with Vintage Photo (Ranger Distress Ink).

Here's the inside of each binder, with coordinating papers of course. *wink* I used Trompe Script and Times Roman font Fonts for each one, and Spellbinders' Fancy Tags diecuts. I printed out the "MUST SEE" Vendors with their booth numbers alphabetically and numerically, so it would be easier to navigate the show, and included a notes section to help us remember important facts at the end of the day.







That's it for this week. I leave for CHA today!! Woot!! I'll try to have my top 5 each day of the show!

Happy Stamping friends!!

CHA Binder #2

I'm leaving for CHA, with Stamper's Dream, in two days. Woo-Hoo!! We're looking forward to finding some new, fun stuff for the store, and all the new stuff from the companies that Michelle already carries in the store. I'll be taking photos and sharing them with you here as often as possible too, so check back often.

Here's the second Maya Road Chipboard Binder that I altered for our trip to CHA. All the images used are JustRite this time. I know, shocker!! LOL The gorgeous flowers and their frame are from a newly released set called Plant a Little Love. LOVE these flowers. They're so easy to color, and fun to paper tole! Michelle just got the shipment of these in yesterday, so head on over to Stamper's Dream and check them out!! They're fabulous! Today, I stamped the image with Versamark onto watercolor paper, embossed it with Detailed Black ep, and watercolored it with Tombow markers. The circle frame was stamped with Vintage Sepia Versafine directly onto the dp, and embossed with Detailed Clear ep. I used the Times Roman and Trompe Script fonts for the Labels 8 Nestabilities shaped tag. And the oh, so gorgeous paper, is Origins by Basicgrey.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Tomorrow I have my last binder to share with you, and I'll show you how I divided up the inside also.

Happy Stamping my friends!!

CHA Binders

It's Thursday, and time for another CCEE challenge. I stuck with Cindy's sketch as a base, but added a couple of things. Hopefully I won't get the buzzer!! We'd love to have you play along too. Just click HERE to head on over to our CCEE Stamper's Blog.

I leave for CHA this Sat., and am about as excited as I can get. Last year I altered some Maya Road binders for us to take notes in, so I thought I would do it again this year. I will have one to show you tomorrow and Sat. too.

To alter this 6x6 Maya Road Chipboard Binder, I used Urban Tapestry and Slight Alterations (Tim Holtz's Stamper's Anonymous). For my CHA medallion, I turned to my trusty JustRite tools. I used my Vertical Stamper, with Brayton and Trompe Script fonts.

The paper is Basicgrey Periphery and Birchtone Dark Prismatics.

That about sums up today's binder. Check back tomorrow to see another in a totally different style.

We've been getting a lot of storms here in central California. Very rare indeed. I thought I'd share a few photos. 2 of one of the many rainbows we've been seeing, and one of the sunrise over the mountains the next morning. You can click on the photos for a closer look.

If you look closely you can see a double on the right. It's very faint.

Happy Stamping!

Maya Road Altered binder III

Here's my third and final binder!! The sentiment is from Inque Boutique, as is the flourish behind it.

The tag was created with the JustRite Trompe Script Font.

Edited to add:
All the Book Binders are by Maya Road and are 5" x 7". They fit perfectly in the hand. They also have chipboard dividers that I decorated with matching dp and added alphabet tabs. (I couldn't get photos that did the inside justice...they just looked odd.

Laurie and I head out tomorrow morning!! I'll try to post some pics while at CHA...it all depends on if Laurie will let me use her laptop or not. So, if you don't see anything, Laurie's being a brat and won't share.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous weekend!!
Happy Stamping!

CHA Bound!! Woot!

I'm so excited to share my projects with you these next three days. I'm going to CHA with Michelle (Stamper's Dream) and Laurie (Lauraly), and I can hardly contain myself. We can't wait to see and purchase new product for the Stamper's Dream Store!

Well, when visiting so many different vendors, it's hard to remember each detail of each company, so I altered a binder (Maya Road) for each of us.

This is the first of the three. I used the Harmony Classic Circle Stamper III Ensemble (JustRite) for this one. I loved the sentiment and the charming butterfly. This set comes with a 3 1/4" Circle Stamper, to be used with 6 Designer Borders and 6 Designer Centers. Talk about flexibility! They're so easy to use, and so versatile! If you haven't checked out the JustRite blog, you should, they have some fabulous product debuting at CHA, and Michelle will be carrying it in her store!! I'm a HUGE JustRite fan, so I can't wait for the new product!! Woot!! The *2009* and *Notes* sentiments were createad with JustRite's Brayton and Trompe Script Fonts, and their Harmony Rectangle Stamper.

The swirls behind the sentiment medallion are from Doodlebug. They're sticky on both sides, so all you do, is peel them off of their base, stick them on the surface you want to decorate, sprinkle them with glitter, and rub the glitter in. Woila...how easy is that. The warm and yummy brown glitter that I used is called BonBon Sugar Coating. (Doodlebug) This glitter by Doodlebug is fine and the colors are fabulous!! LOVE this stuff.

Finally, I have to show you what I did with the bindings on the side. I wanted to cover the back and side, but the silver bindings would be hard to cover with cardstock. So, I just took my CarlCraft flower punch, punched out the flower over where the silver studs would be, and woila, it looks like a flower center. I LOVE the look.

All the edges are ink distressed with Walnut Stain (Ranger Distress Ink)


Supplies:
Stamps - Harmony Classic Circle Stamper III, Harmony Rectangle Stamper, Brayton and Trompe Script Complete Fonts (JustRite)
Paper - Upsy Daisy, Suede Brown Dark (Prismatics), Neenah Solar White
Ink - Tuxedo Black (Memento), Walnut Stain (Ranger Distress Ink)
Accessories - Nestabilties, Doodlebug Swirls, Doodlebug Sugarcoating Glitter, Martha Stewart Border Punch, CarlCraft Flower punch, Copics, Dimensional tape

Thanks so much for stopping by! I love visitors!! *grin*
Check back in Thursday and Friday to see the other binders. I should also have a Whipper Snapper project ready for you to see on Saturday too.
I hope you're week is off to a fabulous start!!
Happy Stamping!
