I {heart} Upsy Daisy!!! (a Sneak Peek)

I love Upsy Daisy - and these three new lines are so fun and fabulous!!!! Upsy Daisy is a great Canadian manufacturer based right here in Victoria, BC!!

Recently, I was asked by the fab women of Upsy Daisy, Teri and Nicole, to have a little fun with their latest lines, so they could take some cards and layouts to CHA!!! It was such an honour to be asked to create for CHA, and I have had a LOT of fun with their new lines. Here are some of the projects I came up with:

I still have a few more to do, and I will post those as soon as I get them completed! In the meantime, check out their website HERE for more info, and a chance to WIN your favourite line!! Spread the word on this great Canadian company!!!

CHA SNEAK PEEK #1- My Little Shoebox

It is that time again - the winter Craft and Hobby Show in Anaheim is coming up fast and the sneak peeks are beginning! Want to know what is coming and what is the latest and greatest in scrapping??? Just stop by here regularly and I will be posting sneaks and other info about the show!

No, I will not be there - but my layouts will! But it would be fun - especially since Disneyland is also there :) !!!! Maybe next year!!!

So, I will have to content myself with drooling over all the cool new stuff!!! Here are more of the new lines from My Little Shoebox!

Stay tuned for more cool new stuff, and a chance for some blog candy this week!!!

Happy Day!!!

A Couple of Cards

I wanted to post some of my recent layouts today, but realized that I did them for CHA ( for Upsy Daisy - a FABULOUS Canadian company that has some wonderful new goodies for the Winter Craft and Hobby Association Show in Anaheim), and therefore need to get permission to post them before they are released at the show!!! So, I have a couple of cards I did a bit ago instead! When I get permission from the great gals at Upsy Daisy I will post some sneaks of their three wonderful new lines!!!

Over the next little while I will be posting more sneak peeks from various manufacturers of their CHA product releases - sigh - so many fab products, so little time. . .

Happy Day, everyone!
