CHA Time

This morning as this post go up, I'll be on my way to CHA! My heart kind of split in two places right now. I love going to CHA and meet up with all my crafty friends, but oh... how I will miss my little guy, Eli. He had his first shot yesterday and he's such a doll. Didn't even flinch when he got the shot. Of course, the fact that the vet helper holding a cheese whiz on a stick that he's so intently licking on has nothing to do with the shot. ;)

Yep, Eli was the center of attention at the vet. Everybody loves him. He sat quietly and just kept tilting his head watching everybody and absorbing what's going on around him.

I am excited for CHA as well. This is my first time attending winter CHA and everyone say it's bigger than the summer one, so I am excited for that. For the first night, I'll be having dinner with Laurel Beard, Kelly Marie, Ayana Posadas, Nancy Krueger, Jenny Suchin, and Chari Moss.

I'll be taking tons of pictures of course and sharing the pics as soon as I can. And, since I'll be out looking at new stuff, I thought I should at least try to use up some of my scrap papers. I am making this card for Moxie Fab die-cutting challenge and Lily Pad pattern paper challenge.


I layered the scrap papers directly on the card base, then cut the deer shape out of white cardstock and using the negative space adhere it on top of the scrap papers. I love the way this card turn out and will definitely make more using this technique.

Thank you all so much for stopping by here and hopefully I'll meet many of you at CHA. Have a blessed weekend!
