Back from CHA Winter in California!

Zanne — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:06:42 +0000

I had a great time at the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) Winter in Anaheim. This is where all the craft, mixed media and scrapbook companies unveil their new products! My picks for great new products were American Crafts, Sassafras Lass, Pink Paislee, Cosmo Cricket and even though the booth didn’t get there in time: October Afternoon! I love the bold patterns of October Afternoon, they mix and match beautifully with any scrapbook papers and products from any company. I bumped into some talented people such as Donna Downey, Claudine Hellmuth and Ted from Stampers Anonymous!

I also had the opportunity to take a great class from Celine Navarro using some of the great products from October Afternoon at my favorite Scrapbook store in California, Scrapbook Oasis. I have uploaded some pics from the CHA floor and a layout from the class! I am also helping out Scrapbook Oasis and set up a Fan Page for them on Facebook. Please join this fun community! More great CHA photos coming soon!

New York Arizona Scrapbook is now complete!

The New York Scrapbook

Zanne — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:32:44 +0000

Finally started my scrapbook for my New York, Arizona and California pics. New York was a business trip, so I had a limited window to take photos…but boy did I snap away. I also journaled (oh my!) about meeting my favorite actor and Caleb’s name sake not 15 minutes after being in New York. The photos of the layout aren’t great, but I hope you get the gest. My creative mojo is coming back!

It's been a month…lots to report

It has been exactly a month since I last blogged. It has been a roller coaster of a month. For the past 2 years and 2 months I worked for Wyndham. Unfortunately with the state of the economy and other issues, Wyndham laid-off 250 people in the Corporate Orlando office on October 15, 2008. US wide it has been said to have been 1,600, although the company publicly has not announced the final numbers. Needless to say I have been through all the stages of emotions, but luckily within 2 weeks I landed a contract job with Disney Online. And know how lucky I am. I have to say the lay-off has been easier with my “support” group on FaceBook and the incredibly talented and very nice people at Aquent and Disney. As they say, one door closes and another one opens.

Just think this time next week we will know who will be the next President of the United States is and this economy will bounce back.

I hope to get my mind back to creating, so hopefully I will have some layouts to show you soon!

CALIFORNIA PICS AND SIERRA

Zanne — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:58:34 +0000

Wanted to share some of the awesome photos I shot while on my awesome vacation to California.

Also, a few weeks ago my black lab Sierra has three lumps removed from her head, one was cancerous, they think they got it all, but they are doing more tests. She is 12 years old and still my baby. I am grateful every day I am with her.

Here's a scrapbook page I did today for a sketch challenge!

My friend Lily had a “sketch challenge” on her blog. Let me know how you think I did!

More Layouts..

I finished up my CKU layouts and layouts from CKU and I am also posting some layouts done earlier this year. And yes, I left the page protectors on, I am learning Photoshop so it challenges me to get that flash out in various ways. I am sure you might be able to tell on one of the Ikea photos.

Had a great July 4th weekend and I was a Scrapping Fool

Zanne — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:33:20 +0000

Hung out with neighbors and shot off fireworks. I was a scrapping fool this weekend, catching up on my CKU photos from last year! Drop me a line and tell me what you think of my scrapbook marathon.

My creative projects for this weekend.

Zanne — Mon, 12 May 2008 02:38:11 +0000

Two cards with one Stamp set. The Office Accoutrement Set from Stampin’ Up. I used Purely Pomengrante, Wild Wasabi, More Mustard Ink Pads and Paper, along with Kraft Paper and Chocolate Chip Ink. Along with the Stampin’ Up Spiral punch and adding a few embellishments to the cards and voila!

I finished more Inspired projects!

This is the project from Christina Lazar’s class from Inspired last month. I finally put the finishing touches on it. This project was sent to my Mom for Mother’s Day and features photos of my Grandmother when she was a young girl. She passed away in 1998.

I loved this project so much, I ordered another kit from Christina. This projects includes a photo of myself and my sweet black lab Sierra. I love it!!! I will definitely be incorporating more fabric in future projects!!!
