CHA journey

I went to CHA to represent A Creative Journey with Melissa. It was a experience of a lifetime. I have gone to other CHAs and Scrapbook Expos that have been super fun and amazing. 

I learned that in this business it is really a huge competition and those that compete are really really serious about their passion in the creative world. So, it can be as a good view and also a bad view. When I buy from a company that says a lot about ME, right? I know when I make creative project(s) with a companies products I represent them, right? I make a statement saying I trust their product and love it, too. And with that said...

I gotta admit I had one bad experience. I was viewing a line of product in the booth and the way the lady represented was not kind, pleasant nor informative. I was in the booth for less then 5 minutes. Isn't the first impression thee most important? 

I think in many cases it is. 

Other then that ONE bad experience I had a SUPER FANTASTIC time. I was extremely excited about the new products that will be coming out soon. 

Sizzix was there and I was given permission to take photos. I have bought from this company since for like forever! I have several Sizzix dies- its like a warehouse in my craft room. Okay, okay maybe not that many but it does feel like it, LoL 

Every since I can remember when I go into their booth it has been a extremely pleasant experience. With that said here a some cool pictures...........

These dies are amazing and can't wait to get my hands on some of these. Well, adding to my collection is important, right? *giggle*

HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY.

fun at Theresa if you just happen to swing by my blog.

Here is my project for today's hop:

I used this NEW Sizzix die set and I have nothing but great things to say about. Yes, I gotta admit I was a little hesitant to use. Why? Because it had 10 dies pieces. LoL, but differences does it make if I use my Cricut, Cameo or Digi images, right? It's called Regal Flip-its.

I was undecided which stamp set to use from PeachyKeen..

They are all so cute. But I did choose the one to the left. Once again I used the Helmar 450Quick Dry glue. This stuff is amazing. Even after a year the paper or any embellishment is still held together. You can get it online or your nearest Hobby Lobby with a coupon of course.

Father's Day Card

Well it's almost Father's Day and not much is done around this time for the Fathers. Even the world admits that is not as popular to do as EPIC as we do for the Mothers. Sad but it's true. I remember when I was younger my family would do a cook out. But guess who cooked out in the grill? Yup, my Dad. My Mom would do all the yummy stuff inside that was not able to on a grill. But we all ate very yummy stuff. With always having corn on the comb. Burnt from the outside and perfect in the inside...

Plus, we had all the cousins over all the time too. Memories that will last forever. Although, my Dad no longer lives in the same state but we text a lot and he is always sending me silly text. With silly pictures too. He not only does it to me but my Brothers and Sister too. Oh, he also does it to my kids-which is the best, LoL.

What are some of your memories as a childhood on Father's Day?

Last night I put together this card for my Hubby. He is the most amazing Father I know. He is always thinking about his kids before himself. Since day ONE. The most unselfish man I know. Doesn't ask for much but a clean home and home cooked meals. Not much but he is so well worth all that just needs.

Isn't that a super fantastic card? Unique shape and so perfect for a men.

That is the side view of the card. It's a MUST have die cut and stamp sets for sure.

The stamp sets I used to make it perfect are...

             

 by Melissa at A Creative Journey with Melissa.

Go visit her on her FaceBook and say "Hi" and maybe even LIKE her page but don't forget to pick those stamp sets. The stamp sets are called Photo Booth Fun and Everyday Alphabet Outline Upper and Lower Case.

Then I picked this die set....

By Sizzix item number 559211

I gotta be honest I was a little afraid when I saw it had 22 dies in this kit. But heck its NO different then cutting up on my Cricut machine or doing digital images. So, why not try the dies? By the way I did use the Cuttlebug for the dies.

As always I use this super fantastic glue...

I can even purchase it at one of my favorite stores too. At Hobby Lobby with a coupon. I am a coupon kind of gal.

I had used this paper pack bought at Michaels, another favorite store of mine. It's called Regent Street and the paper was perfect that had the top hats on them. Thick good paper and well worth the money spent with a coupon, of course.

Hope you enjoyed and DON'T forget to get the STAMP SETS!

HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY.
