Hi all, Wendy here & hello to the Friday!
So, how about those CHA Winter 2013 reveals?!!! I kinda' thought you might drool (a bit) after the "powers-that-be" revealed up the motherload! Seriously, I told them if they thought they were slammed before with orders at past CHAs, then get ready to be stampeded at this show. I'm quite sure all the finishing touches are making it/done with the Simple Stories booth and the HUGE show kicks off this weekend!
One project I have revealing up in the Simple Stories booth, is my 6x8 Mix & Match album using the new collection, "Urban Traveler". I kinda' screamed a little when they revealed it early to us on the design team. I instantly started sketching ideas of layouts, titles and such in my go-to notebook and all my travel pics floated around in my head for which to use in the book. I used LOTS and which is why this project turned kinda' bigger than planned (clearing my throat). So, if you're hitting up the show you can touch & see the album real life, Simple Stories booth #569.
Now on to my project...
(warning: lots of pics, you have been warned), but lots of details and well, this collection is just rather rad). :)
Oh, I'll share up the supply list later because after cleaning up my art studio from CHA projects, well the list is a bit MIA, but will be found & posted back to this post. :)
LOTS of pictures but quite crucial to show the papers & details (in action) from "Urban Traveler".
I seriously believe I used ALL the papers & tidbits from this collection with the exception of a few scrap pieces left over. I even grabbed and used a couple of papers from the "24/Seven" collection.
Hope you enjoyed ALL!
