Fantastic styles from Bannerwoman

I want to tell you about a fantastic style that bannerwoman has in her store, along with several others. As I've been away, I only had the chance to test one of them, but the others look just as FAB! Click the image below to go to her blog and you can link to her store from there! Have fun with it!

A LO to share

Sara's Numb3rs kit I told you about before was a great one, but I never showed you my LO. Well, here it is - it has a California theme!! LOL! You can still collect this freebie kit from Sara's blog - go check it out.

Plum pudding

Oh my goodness, I just realised that I've forgotten to post about Stacey's Plum Pudding kit!! Here is my LO and her kit - go to her blog to collect if you haven't already - it's a gorgeous kit! See you soon. TTFN.


Heading home from CHA!

Well, I am in the hotel waiting for my shuttle to the airport to arrive, so that I can go home. I have just talked to Linda and we had a great giggle together - it was strange that we were in the same time zone for a change!! So, 45 minutes until my shuttle arrives - I'll be back with photos and news when I'm home which will be Friday!! LOL! See you then!

Down by the Lily Pond

I have not forgotten about P365 by the way! I will be updating VERY soon!! CHA is so much fun and I have seen so many fantastic new products - you would not believe it! I am even considering going back to doing some paper scrapping! Shock, horror!!

I must tell you that today I met two people who I have known in the blogging world! The first was Kirsty Wiseman who is a fellow Brit! I LOVE her blog and the stuff she does for Studio Calico is just awesome! If I don't see you again before I leave California Kirsty - it was great to meet you in real life and have a safe trip back to Blighty!! I also met Julie who used to be on the DT with me at Scrap N' Art - we met each other when I was waiting to do a make and take and she was doing it already. I was talking to Sue (Provo Craft) who is from the same part of England as me and Julie heard me say I was with SNA and knew it was me, so introduced herself! I love being here - I get to meet so many people who I would not normally get to meet!

So, back to today, I have the elements for Down by the Lily Pond. Here is a preview to Mel's part which you can click to go to her blog to download and below that is the preview to my elements - click the link to go to 4shared for download! See you tomorrow!

Down by the Lily Pond

Hey everyone! Today is the start of my collab kit with Mel - a blue/green/brown mix for boyish LOs. I am still in california and enjoying myself. I spent the day at CHA and saw some amazing products and even did some make and takes which I will photograph and show you really soon! My jet lag is almost gone, so I am feeling much better, thank goodness!

You all know I love working with Mel and for this one, Mel chose the colour and the name and I think it was a great choice from her!! My CT have done amazing work as always and because it is late that I am scheduling this post to coincide with Mel's, I haven't linked them up, but you know that the blinkies are on the right side of my blog all the time, don't you?







And here is my LO - what a little cutie he is, don't you think?

Here is the full kit you will get and below is the papers preview click the link below it to download. I will add Mel's preview here later, but I don't have it right now!! Click here to go to her blog to download it. See you tomorrow with more CHA news and some elements.

A sneak peek of my collab kit!

This is a scheduled post to coincide with Mel's post! Woo hoo! A new collab with Mel - I am so excited! I LOVE working with Mel - we're on the same wavelength and our collabs just seem to work great! So, let me show you a sneaky peek and check back on Monday to see more!

Jet lagged!

Oh my gosh! I am sooooo jet lagged! I have never suffered before, but boy am I suffering now!

I left England at 3.15 on Thursday to fly to [a not so sunny] LA! The flight was ten and a half hours - the longest flight I've ever been on. It wasn't as bad as I expected because I was sat next to three lovely ladies who were also scrappers going to CHA. It was fantastic to be able to talk about our hobby with people who actually understood it!

When the flight arrived, it was a long wait to get through homeland security and then to the hotel where I finally met Angel (editor of SNA) and her daughter Kae - it was great to finally meet someone I've spoken with so much! We chatted for an hour or two and then to bed as it was 11pm CA time and 7am in England - I was crying out for sleep!! We all woke at 6am because our bodies are adjusting to time differences. Angel is a sweetheart and arranged a tour of LA for us, leaving at 9am for 6 hours. It was FABULOUS - we saw the hollywood sign, the Chinese Theatre, the stars on the sidewalk outside, some homes of the stars including Queen Latifah, Jennifer Anniston, Nancy Regan and Tori Spelling - loads more, but at 3.15am, I can't remember! We also saw some houses used in films, like Father of the Bride and Crocodile Dundee and we saw Charlie Chaplin's house - very cool. Then we went to Rodeo Drive for some window shopping - LOL! Then to Venice Beach - which is VERY cool!

So, as I just said, it's 3.15am! YES - jet lag is a terrible thing and this is my first time with it. I fell asleep at 7pm as I couldn't make it any later, so now I am awake and my body thinks it's morning and to top it off, I have had a headache since I arrived! I just called Rob from the hotel stairwell (so I didn't wake the others) and he says that it's because I haven't been drinking tea. I usually have 3-4 cups a day and I haven't had any here and no caffeine so far! He told me to drink a can of coke which I am doing now and it seems to be working for my head, but isn't doing much for my insomnia!! LOL!

CHA starts on Sunday, so I'll be back to bring you news from there, but in the meantime, here are a few things I've seen in scrapland so far today......

My CTM Cheryl has a freebie on her blog which is just beautiful - take a look... Click the image to take you to her blog and don't forget leave some love for her.

And also, Sara has a new kit in her Eidou store which is just stunning. I got to play with it and made this LO for her - I hope you like it and it will encourage you to buy Sara's kit - she is just starting to sell and is doing an amazing job I think!

Sara also has a new freebie kit and I've almost done my LO, but not quite, so I'll show that to you tomorrow. The kit is called Numb3rs and is just gorgeous - I couldn't wait to play. This is what it looks like - click the image to go to Sara's blog and, as always, leave some love for her!

Next, Kim has done another template which is a great one that can be used for P365. Go check it out if you're participating, but even if you aren't, if you like pages with multiple photos, this is for you! Click it to go to Kim's blog and don't forget to leave some love!

Linda, my dear friend, has some beautiful frames which coordinate with her "Love Me Tender" amazing kit - I hope you've been collecting it, because it is stunning! Click the preview to go to Linda's blog and be sure to pick up everything if you haven't. Again, don't forget to leave some love.

They just keep on coming - here is a beautiful freebie from my friend Dawn called "Hearts as One" - again, stunning!! Click to visit Dawn's blog and collect and (I know I say it a lot) leave some love!

Well, I think that's enough from me for now- it's now 3.45am and I am going blog surfing until I feel tired enough to go back to sleep!! Which I hope will be soon! Leaving you all lots of love and hugs.

It's called Grosgrain Girl and it's just gorgeous. Take yourselves over to the three blogs and pick it up - don't forget to leave some love though!

This is my second post - my new kit papers are below!

I have a new EHD!! Woo hoo! It's 250Gb so will be able to store lots more stuff!!! I thought I would take a photo of it for my Day 19 photo! Isn't it cute? It's a rugged one so that when I travel, it should be more robust!

And, Stacey has a new freebie kit for you called Wild Flowers. It's a really funky kit which I had great fun playing with. Here's my LO using it and below is the preview which is clickable to Stacey's blog!

First up are the LOs from my marvellous CT - they've done a great job as always - leave some love if you have time! Again, I can't believe how differently different people can interpret a kit - it's wonderful having a CT isn't it?

Charlie
Cheryl
Diana
