Filming in Anaheim

This is a shot taken just before my filming session at CHA. I was creating a short segment for Quayside Publishing to promote my books Altered Paper Jewelry and The Cardmaker's Workbook. It was really fun to get all "made-up" and sit in front of the cameras. We managed to do the whole craft in one take which was a good thing since we were running a little behind schedule and I had a line forming downstairs at the main booth for my book signing. A special thanks to those who stopped by my demos, signings, and make and takes. It was truly lovely to meet each and everyone of you. I hope you all had safe trips home with family and friends anxious to see you again.

Security is tight!

Many companies have special parties for their best customers to get a sneak preview of the new products.  Creative Imaginations is no different.  In connection with a new Star Wars license, Storm troopers, Darth Vader, Luke, x-wing pilots and others were on hand to keep the crowd under control.  

You just never know what you'll encounter here at CHA!

What was your most creatively themed party??

Thinking outside the book

CHA is just days away and I'm all packed and ready to go.  I shipped off this demo with Fedex today.  I needed to devise an interesting demo for the Creative Imaginations booth and this is one of the three demos I'll be doing.  This project is so easy I can't wait to share it with the people who stop by while I'm working the demo table.  I really have enjoyed the response I've been getting for the Parts and Parcel line.  

This particular project uses three square Pocket Accordion Folios, a full sheet of cardstock and a couple scraps of cardstock.  It makes a great gift and it can be expanded to fit even more folios.  I loved the challenge of staring at the products on my desk and coming up with a fabulous project that could capture the imagination of the CHA attendees.    

What can you come up with when faced with a challenge?
