cha: my projects

Today is my final recap of CHA 2014
And with that I will share my projects that were chosen to be displayed.
Honestly 7 years ago I would never have imagined I would have a project on display.
I know I do not have half of the talent that the rest of the designers have, but I am so thankful and honored to have projects amongst them! Thank you We R Memory Keepers and Some Odd Girl for displaying my creations!

instafriday: week 3

 Sorry for the absence… CHA consumed my life this past week. I of course will have a recap for you so stay tuned for all of my favorite bits & pieces from the show.

instafriday: week 2

 

chaw: 2014 preview

 

I am excited to announce that I will have projects up at CHAW 2014 this year!

 

7 years ago I went to my very first CHAW! For you who don’t know what this is it stands for Craft & Hobby Association Winter. It’s a trade show for all the scrappy products being released the first half of the year. It is not open to the public. You have to be a member and so on.

 

I never imagined 7 years ago when I attended, that I would EVER have projects on display. And I wont just have projects in one booth but 2.

Today I am sharing 2 layouts that I made for Some Odd Girl.

 

Aren’t these stamps cute? No I did not color these. I wont even try to claim I colored them. My friend Kristy, the owner of SOG colored them and sent them to me to work with. I feel so honored to have gotten to play with her creations. People she drew these girls! And then had them turned into stamps so everyone can use them!

Well if you happen to be attending be sure to stop by booth 2401 and say hi to Kristy! And of course see my layouts in person. And if you want to get crazy, instagram a pic of my layouts and tag me @aimeemaddern I would love to see it!

instafriday: week 1 2014

I am not ready for this year to start….

I think the last 2 years have been so good; I just don’t want to let go!

I still am contemplating if I want to continue instafriday. As much as I love it I’m kinda tired of it. But here I am with the first week of 2014.

This past week involved lots of traditions, and new adventures.

 

Had my first mammogram

We drove to San Diego for the charger chief game
