Wplus9 Design Studio - Feburary Release

I'm back from CHA, all glistening and giddy from the fabulous
journey - SUCH a great trip! My darling, IRL, and superstar blog
friend, Cathe Holden and I had a MOST fabulous time... but
more {oh, SUCH more} on that later! RIGHT now, I'm bringing
you a super slice of newness in the form of Dawn Woleslagle's
latest release from her stamp company, Wplus9 Design Studio -

Hope, Faith and Happiness, it's a terrific sentiment to exemplify the
feelings I have after attending an even like CHA, and a super and
useful, sentiment stamp, from Dawn's new set, Folkart Floral tags.
Framing in that lovely sentiment, is a stunning wreath image,
cradled in {My FAVORITE!!!} a scallopy circle DIE - CUT,
Circle Stackers 1. Yes, friends - I said "Circle Stackers!"

{Oh, you're gonna LOVE that die cut set!}

THIS is another fantastic offering, with OH, so much creative possibility!
So many images to stamp! AND... dies! {Sooooooooooo many dies!}



Do you SEE those scrumptious leaves? AND darling bird!

DIES - ALL dies! {Hold me!} Mmmmm, hmmm! They are from
the coordinating dies, called Folkart Florals - ANOTHER
match made in crafty heaven... *Mwahh!* {I love you, Dawn!}

But SPEAKING of Dawn, you know there's a whole crew of us, designing
in her honor! YOU should check them out!!!! {You'll be SO glad you did!}

Helloooooooooooo, friends!

I'm so excited to be reporting to you live from CHA!
{I'm HERE! I'm HERE! I'm REALLY here!}



Everything was sparkling and amazingly "L.A.", on Friday morning
when we checked in, here at the Anaheim Convention Center!
The architecture is stunning, while the weather is a perfect match:
not too hot and not cold at all! Palm trees EVERYWHERE,
our hotel is nice and close to the event... Joy! Joy! Joy!


So many things to share, but hard to know where to start...
...Okay, here's one!
Saw my, first ever, in REAL life, flash mob! Hil-ar-i-ous!


Attended the CHA breakfast and schmoozed with the BIG WIGS!


Got SO teary when Nikki Sivils received a "Service to Humanity" award,
for her amazing efforts to share craft supplies and support with the
dear folks of Joplin, Missouri, post tornado... {I'm STILL teary!}


MORE tears for this fabulous service woman and humanitarian,
Clara Vargas. I had not heard of her cause, but was SO moved
by the story! I hope you'll check out her site to bring aide, in the
form of clothing and blankets to Afghanistan -
but PLEASE read her story, here!



Additionally, it was fun to see and hear from the C.E.O.'s of
Michael's, Archiver's, the owner of DCWV, and some other
esteemed V.I.P's of this industry - I was riveted! {Seriously!}
The owner of PLAID was given the BIG award of the event,
he seemed positively genuine. Fun to see this industry
from that perspective! Lots to absorb!


But it wasn't ALL business, business!


FELT - has taken on a whole new level of love for me!



ONE little make-and-take and I am HOOKED!



Cute, cute, cute!

So MUCH to see and share! I'm going to cut it short so I can
get busy, but I had to share some goodness with my best of bloggy
friends - HOW desperately I wish you ALL were here!!!

I'll be back SOON with lots of eye-candy, less jabbin'!

Miss you!

JUST us GIRLS - 3D LOVE!

An unexpected journey...

So many of my projects take me somewhere, quite unexpected.

This one surprised, even me:

The most cheerful of buttons, some desktop doodling...

{And maybe a little sleep deprivation...!}

And THIS keepsake, Children's book ... HAPPENED!

{Eeeeek!}

I would be SO delighted if you would check out all of the
"enchanted" details on my latest post for Buttons Galore & More!
