more pics from CHA Winter 2012

Gotta love the DCWV booth. Can't believe this is from paper. Their booth this year was like walking through a fantasyland. More tomorrow:

CHA Winter 2012 Booth Decorations: Ranger

You know I had to save the best for last! What's a trip to CHA without stopping at the Ranger booth! I just love how their artists and designers come up with really cool examples on how to use their product. I also learned a little something about the Melt Art - something I will share later in the form of a tutorial.

For a while, when I saw the mini-version of some of Tim's dies, I was thinking "so?" But now I get it. TAGS! CARDS! ATC's! and other cool stuff!

 

Now that I'm home, I plan to start duplicating some of these tags. Maybe not exactly, but at least in concept. More than likely, several will have my own twist only because I'll get hit in the head with a major idea while working on them.

Hmm...I just got a great idea at this typing. I think I'll take some of my favorite lyrics and apply them to ATCs
and tags. Stay tuned!

CHA Winter 2012 Booth Decorations: ETI-USA

I have always wanted to know how to do things like, especially since I paint on porcelain on the side, and now I know: Resin from ETI. There is another brand, and I've used it, but not with the success and ease that ETI can pretty much promise. Since I did not get the results I wanted from the other brand, I was afraid to spend more money on ETI. So glad to see it at the show and how well it works. It takes the polishing out of the process, something I really don't have time to do:

CHA Winter 2012 Booth Decorations: Canvas Corp

I wouldn't do solid natural. Would definitely have to dye it. Maybe play around with my Glimmer Mist or Pearl Mist:

I am SO going to make this one. Don't worry, the sales rep showed us what she did:

Gotta have it!:

Let's face it! There are some really good ideas out there!

CHA Winter 2012 Booth Decorations: 7 Gypsies

I love visiting the 7 Gypsies' booth at CHA. So many wonderful home decor ideas. I wish I had enough wall space for some of this.

I really like this one. Fortunately I have an old yardstick that once belonged to my grandmother. Hmm...putting on my thinking cap to see what I can come up with. Maybe paper covered chipboard with large eyelets and then have a bunch of photos on it. What do you think? It would go in my hallway:

I think I'm going to have to do something similar and place it on top of my piano:

Ooh! I know the perfect spot for something like this. On the wall by the side door of the house. Of course, it would have an old world tropical flare to it: 

There's an area above our front that I want to decorate. All I need is the library card box and scraps of paper from personal stash to make it work:

Ok, I suppose, in the same area above the front door, I can have an illusion like this. I was planning on hitting the flea markets this weekend anyway:

I would put something like this in my living room on the built-in shelf area and fill it with photos of some our favorite places we have visited.

Something else to place in the hallway and staircase area:

The next time I have a party I might do this with scrap paper from personal stash. Or maybe, if it looks nice, I can create something this with rows of beads in between leading to the dining room. Gonna think on that one:

LOL! Not sure I would do it. Definitely front door material:

Maybe in the kitchen by that same side door. Tropical, of course. The Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue paper. Hmmm....:

I wonder how something like this would look in the staircase area. I might have to "Tim it up" though:

CHA Winter 2012 Booth Decorations: Graphic 45

As some of you know, I'm a tropical kind of girl. Naturally it was hard for me to resist the new Tropical Travelogue display at Graphic 45. This is a line of paper we will eventually get in and heavily promote. How could we not?

When you have a really good layout, don't you find it difficult to cover it up in photos?
