Good morning from CHA!  Today is the last day and then we move into the Jewelry, Fashion and Accessories Show.  This is what we all call the Craft Super Show and where all the stamping/scrapping booths will be to sell to the public.  I’m pretty excited about browsing the jewelry part of it to look for new embellishments, etc.

I got into a 7 Gypsies class today and worked with the 4×6 Photo Frame, new papers and rubbings . . . it was way too much fun!  It also gave me some ideas about working with the Photo Frames.  I’ve always loved them, but never could figure out what to do with them.  Now I know!

Something else was bothering me yesterday and I just want to clear the record for you here . . . I’m not asking YOU to boycott any die company, I was just telling you what I was doing.  That choice is yours and you are free to make it, just like I’m free to make my own.  I personally don’t care what you use . . . but if you are coming here to see those dies, you won’t find them.  It’s as simple as that!  My decision is very personal and one that has been coming for some months.

How about some stamping . . . one of my CHA projects for the Spellbinders booth.

The focus sentiment is from JustRite Signs of Life.  After it was stamped in Archival Coffee, it was die cut/embossed with Circle Nestabilities.  Each layer is alternating between the Lacey Circles and Spellbinders new die template, Star Circles.  Layers of two have been raised with foam mounting tape.

To show a different use of the new Edgeabilities, this border was turned on the side and embossed the flower companion die.  Since the card was in light shades, I decided to go with a bow of seam binding dyed with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures that come your way today!

Good morning from CHA!  If you were following my tweets yesterday you know that I was not a happy camper.  It seems that all the other die companies (Ellison/Sizzix and the company that bought QuicKutz) have decided they have the right to violate Spellbinders patent on the open dies.  They claim to be getting around it by saying they don’t have the embossing edge  . . . . HELLO! their patent is for open dies period!  I am so disappointed in these other companies and personally . . . I’m shouting BOYCOTT!  I’ll be getting rid of those dies that I do have from them, not purchase from them again and will be using Spellbinders exclusively.  I also heard yesterday that Papertrey is now working on new dies  . . . are they going this route too?  tsk, tsk tsk . . .

BTW, here’s a picture with one of my favorite people . . . Stacey Caron . . . she’s pretty damn remarkable!

Sherry and Stacey

I’m running a little late this morning and don’t have the necessary stuff to get the pictures from my phone, but I will try and do that tonight for you.  You MUST see them!

On a lighter note, I have a CHA project being showcased on the Graphic 45 Blog today.  It’s using the new ABC Primer and lost of metal.  You’ll need to check it!

Have a great day and I hope to have a few more tweets and updates today!
