January 22, 2010 at 7:20 AM IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY...
and what a Friday it is.
I have a girlfriend flying in today {she's hanging with me at CHA...shhhhh...her husband thinks she's "working"!} so I'm watching the airport closing information. So far so good, but the rain is due back in a couple of hours. I have to keep reminding myself..."Arizona?"!
LOL!
Dani just started a new thread on the Scrapy Land Message Board. He's asking for suggestions on what YOU ALL want to see him come home with from CHA. New products? New ideas? New lines? New concepts? Leave your suggestion over there on the board, and we'll keep checking back. It's always fun to know what kinds of things, besides dies, you all love using in your projects! THANKS! {And I'll try to keep you posted on what he's looking at!}
Our recently-missing "Fab Four", Miss Veronica, is finally back from her ski vacation. She arrived home to find her box of dies from the January Resolutions release. What a great way to end a vacation, huh?
She jumped right in and made a couple of projects for me to share with you. {Scrappin' before vacation laundry? Now THAT'S a dedicated gal, I tell you! *Wink, wink*}
One of the dies Veronica was most excited about was the NEW Revolution Apples. She liked how very realistic they are. Her photograph of the apple blooms is just gorgeous, and the apple accents are perfect!
Here's a close-up of her embellished apples - chalk and ink and her famous white pen - that look good enough to eat! She also used QK Marigold, for her title font.
This card just makes me smile. "Spoil yourself silly..." what a perfect sentiment for the NEW Revolution Spa Paper Doll. Do you recognize the shape of her "background" paper? It's the QK Epic Gingerbread page insert from the Santa's Workshop release last December. What a great idea!
But check out the inside of her card...
She cut this with her Silhouette SD, from a file she downloaded from Silhouette America. WOWZERS! What a fun way to add the greeting to your card. And to combine it with a die-cut outside...just fabulous!
Such great ideas. Thanks Veronica for ripping open that box as soon as you got home!
The weekend is upon us - and I hope you get some great "crafty time" to yourself in the upcoming days. I will be checking in, as often as I can, from the CHA floor. If you have questions - leave them on the CHA thread on the message board. When I'm mobile, that is easier to check than my email.
Leave Veronica some "welcome-home-comment-love". Have yourself a great, happy-scrappin' weekend!
I'm here for your habit...

Great Job Veronica! Hope you had a super vacation!
Veronica, what wonderful projects! I love the way you colored the apples and I love your use of empty space. I'm an empty-space woman myself (not only in my head, hahahhahahaha). Thanks for sharing.
OMG! I love the apple. You do nice work Veronica.
Love that apple LO! So cute!
Beautiful work Veronica!!
I love your Birthday Card. Could you show us how you did it?
Thanks everyone =)

I love them all....I have to ask you..what is the name of the happy birthday file for the Silhouette?... It's a must have!!! Thx Veronica!
Veronica I love your work! The Apple Blossom page is wonderful. I have never been comfortable leaving 'white space' on my pages, but you are giving inspiration!
The card is just so darn cute and I love the saying! Is it a stamp? I was about to cut that Happy Birthday card insert tomorrow for a card. Now I will for sure!
Hope you had a wonderful vacation! Looking forward to what you will do next!

Very nice! I have downloaded the new sil designs, but have not yet played with them. I would LOVE to get such a special card! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
oh so cute! love the HB insert...need to download that one.
Hi girls
Carolyn: Do you mean how I made the cake inside? I used my Silhouette and the downloaded design is called pop-up birthday card and had no number.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Karen: I wish I could say I came up with it myself ;-) but it's a clearstamp from Penny Black and the set is called "Bubbly".

I could have washed all her laundry for her during the time this must have taken. WELL done Veronica and welcome back - hopefully all in one piece??
Charlie, I'm still working on the laundry so you're more than welcome ;-) I promise you scraptime and something good to eat after, LOL

Veronica, yummy apples (that die is on my "gotta have it" list now. I love that you scrapped a picture of the apple blossoms. It's always fun to see different subjects scrapped. The card is too cute, the dies and sil file work great together.
The Apple Blom is so simple and so elegent... this show your classy.
The spoil yourself silly show's your fun side...
Just right for the Scrapyland Blog!!!!
