{cha recap....

Sorry for not updating before now. Darn hotels charging for internet! {I'm too cheap.} :0)

It was such a fun trip! Penny & I went up on Sunday and had a chance to stop at Windy City Scrapbooking, hang out downtown & do some pictures. So fun!









On Monday, Imaginisce was nice enough to let me jump in & help with a few of their classes. I'm now in love with the i-top & i-rock!

Plus I got to meet the adorable Sarah de Guzman {love her work!}


Then Monday night we went to the Teresa Collins class. {She is so down to earth & genuine!}

It was a fun party with the Scrapaganza girls...



and loved meeting Amy Coon from The Paper Life!


I'll be back tomorrow with TONS of pictures from the show.

I'm lovin the ruffling technique that is so popular right now, cause it's so simple but adds some fun to a layout or card. For this layout I used the gift bags by cutting one up to make a long single piece. Ran it through my Xyron 900...



...which made the entire back side sticky, making it much easier to create the ruffles.



Easy!

I also used the Chip Art - Bluebird Lowercase Alphabet Stamps to create part of my title. But, I actually stamped with them in ink on a painted piece of the Chip Board Shapes...





A close up of the finished Chip Art Piece...



And the completed layout!
