Michelle’s “Tart & Tangy” card class was a great success… everyone left with their eight beautiful cards completed, along with envelopes and smiles, so… we have asked Michelle to schedule more card classes at Captured Moments! Her next class is Tuesday, September 21st at 6pm-8pm. This class is called ”Artistic Etchings” and participants will complete 5 beautiful cards while learning new and valuable stamping techniques. Here are images of the cards you will complete in this class.

Here are the rest of the cards! If you are interested in taking this class, contact us to sign up, or if you would like more information! Read the rest of this entry »

While at CHA, we had the opportunity to meet many of the reps that we deal with over the phone or through e-mail. It was wonderful to put a face to a name and at the My Mind’s Eye booth, there was also A LOT of hugging going on! MME has the cutest, most good-looking, and did I mention sweetest men who run that outfit! (Hummm…Maybe that was why their booth was always so full of people?)

Here are the crew at My Mind's Eye, KC is our rep and he is standing next to Tiffany

Anyway, MME’s new lines are great. We couldn’t resist their new Lost & Found line especially since they have now added embellishments. Each of the four lines are accented with a touch of glitter here and a spot of shimmer there… it is really nice and between all four collections, there is something for everyone. We were told that Lost & Found will ship in the 3rd week of August, so it is almost here! Here is a sneak peek at the four lines within “Lost & Found”… Read the rest of this entry »

Melanie will share her expertise with new techniques and also a very cool process for decorating the top of the cabinet.  There will be lots of trinkets, doo-dads, ephemera and embellishments that will be provided for sharing.  In addition, each student will be provided with a kit for their own use; as well as the cabinet itself.

Students are encouraged to bring with you photos, ephemera, miniatures, favorite charms and any found objects to personalize your project.  Please keep the height to 2 inches or less.  You can choose one or more themes or have your piece be themeless.  Possibilities are endless.

As exciting as the entire CHA experience was, Tiffany and I agree that we were blown away by Graphic 45’s presentation. Not only do we love all of their papers, (and now they have some awesome embellishments too) their booth was a step right onto their artwork and into their paper! Inside their booth structure, you felt like  Alice in Wonderland, with the Hallowe’en twist!

This illuminated clock tower rose above the convention floor making it easy for Tiffany and I to return to the booth over and over for another look!

The display was so full of interest and creativity we had to keep coming back, it was a sensory overload on top of a sensory overload from just being at CHA. Read the rest of this entry »

 These three Scrapbook Divas were awesome. Pink Paislee and “House of Three” had a beatuiful display with great creative ideas and inspiration.

The “Parisian Anthology line is breathtaking. It was fun to watch their interaction and the way they could excite the crowd. So hands-on and down to earth, laughing and having so much fun with everyone… it was a pleasure to see them.

Paper Crown done the Parisian Anthology way!

Pink Paislee and the HOuse of Three were very generous with their give-aways… we didn’t win the entire Parisian Anthology line, but it was fun trying!!
