Lilybee Sweet Shoppe + a sketch

I am up today on the Lilybee Blog using some of the new Lilybee Design products from

2013 Winter CHA and a sketch by Me :) 

I started my page with some plain white cardstock and added a subtle chevron strip by placing a scrap piece of chevron paper that I cut with my Silhouette and misted with Opague White Mr. Huey's - which looks pretty creamy! It is a subtle contrast to the white and goes wel with the floral paper in the new collection - Sweet Shoppe from Lilybee Design.

I added a cut title and one of the new fabric brads from the same collection - layering it all on top of a journaling card from the Christmas Cheer collection - and added some stamping using my Autumn Spice and Persnickety stamps. Trying to get a lot more bang from my buck from my stamp "collection" these days.

I added a banner (of course) with some of the new chipboard pieces, along with some pennants cut from one of the Sweet Shoppe papers.

Please check out the sketch on the Lilybee blog  HERE - and play along with us!

CHA 2013 Recap

I have been a bit MIA on the blog this week for a good reason....Last Thursday afternoon, my friend Kristine Davidson texted me - "Want to go to CHA?"

I was like - "For Real?"

Oh yes, we did... we went super last minute and it was great!

There was so much to see at the show, I didn't even take many pics of the booths and products - you can find them out there on the internet anyways right ;)

One of my favorite booths was the Bella Blvd booth - I consistently love their vibrant colours and patterns and their new releases hit that mark again.

And right now, owner and designer Stephanie Hunt is giving away some goodies from her new collections on her blog!

check it all out HERE - http://iamstephanie.typepad.com/myweblog/2013/01/cha-photos-a-giveaway.html

I have tons of photos to share from my trip - but if you follow me on instagram (@justnickscrap) you can see them all there... uploading all my photos there for a project coming up ;)

Be back soon with some scrappy goodness - hope the weather where you are is treating you well!
