G45 Featured Magic of Oz Projects

Welcome back on this super special Friday!  Today I am happy to share with you 4 projects created using the wonderful G45 Magic of Oz line!!   These projects were originally created for CHA, along with 10 other designs.  So lots more CHA sharing to come...

The first card is a great mix of G45papers and stamps.  Dorothy is stamped, cut out and her clothes paper pieced.  The witch's hat was cut off of a munchkin from their Goblin Gazette PP, and just fit the stamped image perfectly!   And since her stamped wand is super small, and almost impossible to cut out, I decided to go with a lollipop decorated with Smooch.

Home Again, Inspired and Behind...

   Home again from Chicago!  Feeling recharged and inspired..  Behind on blog posts, and feeling frazzled.  There is so much to share!  First I just want to give a shout out to Sara and Courtney for giving my mother and I a place to stay while we visited the city!!  It was wonderful meeting you both, and I wish we had more time to just get to "play" while we were there.  Thanks so much!! 

Second, I can't express how delightful it was to get a chance to meet a few of my fellow design team members and the G45 staff for the first time! Wishing I could have met everyone, but maybe a trip to California will be in my future for January.  Who knows?

Also I want to extend a HUGE apology for getting behind on the blogging.  Had every intention of blogging while in Chicago, but again ran into no Internet there either.  Once home it has been classes, spending time with Skyler and getting ready for a big Want 2 Scrap and Graphic 45 blog hop!! 

Lots to share so let's get to it!

Confessions of a Scrapbook Addict

It feels like it has been forever since I have had a chance to blog.  Just wanted to stop in for a quick update.  My Internet was down a awhile last week, someone ran over our ground pole and it took us a a little while to figure it out.    But finally up and running again.  YAY!   Been on a non stop creative train getting ready for CHA next week!  WooHOO!!

Yesterday was my last day of creating in the morning, and packaged everything up to overnight to G45 headquarters in Oregon.  In total I sent them 13 creations, and one big one to be hand delivered! 

Whew! 

Probably could have kept going, but I was starting to run out of papers.  And my house was being taken over by armies of dust bunnies...  Now time to find my studio again and get my house in order for when I get back from CHA and am so inspired I want to jump right back into action.

Wish I could share some photos with you of my projects, but never fear the photo less posts won't last long. 

Next week is the show we have all been waiting for, and I will be there taking TONS of photos!  Will even have my laptop with me for little blurgs in the evenings.  So excited!! 

So make sure to stop back on Wednesday for a little inspiration, and a lot of excitement!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will see you next week(maybe even in person at the show!!!)
