Last days of CHA - stuff you shouldn't miss

Warning... this is a pretty photo intensive post.... It took me some time to get it altogether, but I have the final wrap-up of the 2010 CHA conference.

I also had a great time hanging out at the Provocraft booth. They… Continue

CHA Day Two

Day 2 of the show had a lot more to see...

Winter 2010 CHA Conference - Day One

This sketch is a simple one that can be adapted to digital or traditional scrapping. The sketch is designed for 4 pictures and some elements and journaling, or just up the number of pictures for an easy tweak.

3d43 - Your Check is in the Mail

When I saw this blog post from Kelleigh Ratzlaff, I KNEW what I wanted to do for 3d Tuesday!

I used Kelleigh's directions and instead of a ribbon binding, I used my Bind-it-all. It fits nicely in my wallet and supports this year's resolution to get my finances under control.
