Clear Scraps Made the News

Well although I live in California...
and Clear Scraps headquarters is in Illinois...
this is still pretty exciting!
They were featured on their local NBC news program...

check it out:

Clear Scrap On the News

I went to go look at it...
and there was my BABY book sample that I made!
It was a little shocking to see it on a news stations website!
Then I watched the program and there it was again!
That was so cool!

Anyway...just wanted to share!

using their awesome acrylic albums!
I believe some of the designs that I've done so far
will be featured in their idea gallery...

A Really Bad Day!

Can I just vent a little?!?
Yesterday was probably the worst day that I have had in a really long time...
I understand that there are people starving in the world
And compared to the hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods, etc
My day was a little bee sting in comparison..
But for me while I was going through it...
It was a really bad day!
I like to think that I'm a positive person...
Try to see the glass is half full...
But I really think I should have gone back to bed yesterday!
First off...I didn't get product for a class that I was holding yesterday!
So I spent Friday afternoon and Saturday morning
scrambling to find a suitable replacement...
Not an easy task when you're talking an entire acrylic album!
But I have to give a shout out to my "new" best friends at
Collective Journey - Shannon & Melissa
They saved me by cutting pieces of acrylic to make books!
TWO HOURS!
They rock!
You'd think that would be it...
because for a scrapbook teacher...
not getting product can make for a really bad day!
So I was traveling to Collective Journey...
generally about a 1 hour drive from where I live...
I left 2 hours before the class...just in case...
and so I could help cut out the acrylic pieces..
Anyway...I was driving on the 215 and all of a sudden...
the car in front of me slammed on their brakes...
I of course did the same thing!
I must have had some guardian angels watching over me!
Because when you rear-end someone after traveling 70 mph...
there is generally more than a little dent!
But that's all there was!
We exchanged info and I was on my way again...
By this time I was shaking so bad...
My head was pounding...so I found the IB800 and took one!
I had to press on...
I had a class to get to..
I was determined!
So 15 minutes before the class starts...I arrive!
Not much help in the cutting process...
sorry girls.
But after distributing the acrylic pieces...
and the day that I had...
we had a great class...
As the class wore on, I did stiffen up!
This morning I'm even more stiff...
I can't turn my neck to the right...
But I figure in the big picture it could have been much worse!
So I'll go see the chiropracter and massage therapist tomorrow...
I'll get put back together...
So thanks for letting me share!
I feel much better now!
have a fabulous day -

SMOOCH!
Here's what my valentine brought me this morning...
Roses and a pick me up!
Who needs chocolate!

Love to my valentine...Kurt
and Love to you all!

CHA re-cap!!! Oh What Fun!!!

Hello Everyone!
Can I just say...
I'm EXHAUSTED!!!
In a good way though...
I had so much fun...
but lots of work too!
Sunday:
After getting off to a late start...
(Trevor got the flu...mommy stuff comes first!)
I arrived and dropped off my samples to the Clear Scraps booth
Janet & Jackie and the gang were so sweet!














I have to tell you...
This was the buzz booth of the show!
The products are awesome!
Lots of great things are happening for them!
Then I was off to explore the show floor...
Hung out with my sparkly friends Mel, Amy and Lisa
from It's About Time in Murrieta (my LSS)
Love you girls!
We stopped to do some star sightings...
First Anna Griffen...
so nice...
Then Lisa's favorite...Elsie!
I met Elsie!
She is super sweet...

She has some really cute paper lines coming out!
My favorite of course was the sports line!
Never enough sports stuff for this mom!
(side note...I hate this picture of me! but Elsie's so cute!)
Anyway...more exploring...
Saw lots of cute new paper and stuff.
Then my friend, Tammy and her mom (also my friend) Sheila
came to CHA...and we hung out the rest of the day on the show floor...
Here's a picture of them enjoying a make n take...

Tammy and I have been friends for a long time...
Since we moved almost two years ago...I don't get to see her very often...
It was so awesome to see her! And Sheila too...
cry...cry...sob...sob...sniff...sniff...
ok...I'm better now! Love you Tammy!
So we just mulled around and drooled over all the awesome stuff!
Monday:
Monday was a working day for me...
I helped out taking stores around to show them new lines
and helped write orders!
It was so much fun because I got to see new stuff as well...
and I talked to some new and past stores about teaching classes in their stores...
Be on the look out in Whittier (Screamin' Susie's), Covina (Hearts n Crafts), Vista (Pink Pineapple Scrapbooks), Carlsbad (Everafter) and Torrance (A to Z Scrapbooks) for classes in the very near future!
Found Petaloo...not a big flower fan...
but they made a believer out of me!
Super cute stuff!
Tattered Angels...OMGosh!
LOVE their shimmer spray stuff!
Gotta try it on a layout or something!
Cosmo Cricket...Cogsmo is the bomb!
met Jon the warehouse guy...
I think he was overwhelmed by his new found fame...
If you don't know what I'm talking about...
go to Cosmo Cricket's website to see all the funny goings on!
Sandylion had lots of new stuff going on there!
Of course KP's stuff was my favorite!
She unveiled two new lines and then an addition to an older one!
I'm sure I'll have to do some projects with all of that!














Kelly was hard at work teaching a make n take...
but took a little time out to take a picture with a friend...
Thanks to Mario (KP's hubby) for taking the picture for me...
What awesome people! Love...not like them so much!
Tuesday:
A short day for me...
but busy none the less!
Spent some time with my friend Lynn...
She is the owner of Once Upon A Memory in Huntington Beach
It was great to hang out and look at some new products
Saw my friend and designer Helen Naylor from Sonburn...
cute stuff! Forgot my camera this day! Darn it!
Two cute paper lines that I found at CHA...
Pink Paislee...
to see more go to their website...www.pinkpaislee.com
Paper Trunk
to see more go to their website...www.papertrunk.com
Very talented people!
I can't wait to get my hands on their products to see what I can come up with!
And then back to the busiest booth of the whole show...
Clear Scraps!
Seriously!
Everytime you go by their booth...
It was so full...it spilled over into all the aisles surrounding it!
Way to go...
Super tired by this point...
had to leave...
Big things ahead!
Wednesday:
Only there for two hours...
but got some stuff to make more samples...
can't tell you all about it now...
but I promise...
when it happens I'll tell everyone all about it!

Sorry this was a long post...
but I just love CHA!
I wish you all can join me when I go...
but for those that didn't get to go...
I hope this helps you feel more apart of it...
without the sore, tired and blistered feet!

ttfn,
terina

Off to CHA I go!!!

Well...I think I'm ready...
I'm not packed yet of course,
but all my samples are made!
I hope you've all liked the projects I've posted over the past couple of days!?!
They will be on display in the Clear Scraps booth for CHA
So I will be gone for the next few days...
until at least Wednesday...
For those who don't know what CHA is...
it's this awesome convention...
with all the manufacturers in one spot!
And they show off all their brand new products!
it's kinda like the Expo for the scrapbook stores...
they buy the cool new stuff so we can buy it at their store!
I'll post pictures of all the fun stuff that I find when I get back!
So have a great week and I talk to you when I return!

ttfn
