CHA - Craft & Hobby Association Convention 2009

My very first CHA was a fabulous experience. I had lots of fun just spending a day browsing around. Such beautiful EYE CANDY! I totally want to go again next year. I made lots of stops along my way while browsing and managed to remember to take a couple pictures along the way. Hopefully I credited the right company in each of these pictures.

A Visit to *Wooky Entertainment*

Here is me and the new baby meeting Paris Hilton. I got her to write her autograph to the baby. She was actually quite pleasant and kind and thought it was funny how the baby kept turning his head toward the camera flashes. I think we only waited in line a little over an hour and were about 12th or so in line. The security was really tight and it was kind of crazy. I had to go visit and meet her because it is pretty much a once in a lifetime experience -- I mean how often is Paris in the same venue as you???

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
