Picture Perfect

Happy Friday Friends!

This week I celebrated my one year anniversary with Chic Tags.  And thought it would be fun to document the occasion using our brand new Happy Place Collection, and a photo from my CHA experience.

I was fortunate enough to be able to use some frequent flyer points to fly down to Vegas for the event. It was like a dream come true meeting Veronica in person, and helping out in the booth introducing CHA goes to Chic Tags products, and meeting so many great people from all around the world.  An added bonus was meeting fellow DT member Malika and connecting with several Instagram friends in person for the first time, like Chiao Tan pictured here.

One of the biggest hits with our new collections is the clear tags.  I've used 2 on my layout and adhered them both by holding them in place with just a teeny bit of adhesive, and them sewing around the inner border.  Love the way it turned out.  I used this idea of "happy" to create the design of my layout.  To me, all the circles give the layout a happy feel.

The Happy Place collection includes 8 - 3x4 journaling style cards, perfect for both traditional layouts, and project life style scrapping.

I think my favourite thing about the new collections are these mini icons, and the perforated strips at the bottom of the 12x12 papers.  I love the little sayings and sentiments, and the fact that they are pre-set to different styles, like this "good times" one shown here.  All I had to do was use some 3D foam dots to pop it off the page, easy peasy.

Hope you've been inspired to create something great today.  Come back on Sunday for our next Creative Scrappers reveal.   Have a wonderful day friends. Pin It

Documenting CHA

I've finally documented my CHA experience through photos.  I decided to skip the mini, and simply stick the pages directly into my Moments In Between album, using hockey card pages as little insert for all the extra photos I had for the week.

Here is what the weekly spread looked like.

Such a great experience.  This was like completing 4 weeks of life into one.  It took me a full day to do, but I'm so glad I did it, and I really love the outcome.  I used the Scraptastic August kits to complete it, with a few things from my stash.  You can see this months This Life Noted kit here.  The main kits can be found here, and here.  Make sure to also check out the stamps, and add ons kits too.  I can't wait to get my hands on these!

Thank you for stopping by today friends.  I haop you have a wonderful weekend.  As for us, we're headed to the lake one last time for some good old fashioned low key, games playing, no technology hang out just us together time.  See you back here on Monday. Pin It
