One more post before it's back to the guest designers

Hi!
I'm sitting in front of the computer & I just went through my big bag 'o catalogues from my trip to CHA.  I was lucky that I had an extra bag with me because I think they would have made my suitcase over weight... :)
So a couple more things I wanted to share and then I'll share two cards with you....

I tried these phenomenal markers - called touchdown!  from www.shinhanart.com.  These are just like copies, but at a fraction of the price.  I don't know where you can buy them yet, but they were a huge hit at CHA...

I'm sort of regretting not buying a paper cutter that I liked - CARL 12210 Bidex heavy-duty rotary trimmer, 14-1/2 x 22 base, 12 cut  I forgot at the show and then was sick when we left.. I may hold off and use my birthday money for it!

I had the pleasure of meeting Sandy from Operation Write Home - http://operationwritehome.org/  Sandy & I have emailed & Facebooked but never met in real life.  It was a pleasure to get to make some cards for our heroes & meet her at the OWH booth.

So the big news, my Silhoutte Cameo arrived, and I finally took it out of the box.  I don't know that I'll cut anything with it today, but I did take a minute and look through their online store - they have some really cute images!  You'll be seeing some projects with it when I'm back to blogging again in a few weeks....

I am working on the app update.. Sickness delayed me, my apologies.  I have a bunch of cards to add - just need to work on it...  I'll let you know when it's released...

Here are a few of the make & takes that we did at CHA - just got them out of my suitcase...
I'm liking the quality of the pictures from my new iPhone.. :)

 Another topic like marker...  I wasn't fond of topic on metal...

 Cute card with spray - the embellishment was already on the paper... My apologies, I can't remember where it was from...

 Used the i-top for the first time http://www.imaginisce.com/ and made a cute quilled heart (super easy) www.quilledcreations.com

 Great color spray from http://www.lindystampgang.com/

 Cute Magnolia stamp http://magnoliaminiworld.com/

 Fun light up badge "bling" - www.mydazzu.com

Cute gift box - love the flower - and the neat punched border wrap...  Super simple...  I can't remember who's punches they were... So Sorry!!!

Thanks for hanging in there...  And here are a couple of cards for you...

My valentines day card:

which was inspired by a Starbucks gift card...

and a birthday card for our friend, who's turning 40...

Have a great day!
