More pics from CHA, this time from the Kaisercraft booth. They had the cutest oversized projects around the booth that I couldn't resist taking photos of. Some would make fabulous home decor projects --esp for those supersized "great rooms" or those airy rooms with cathedral ceilings. Unfortunately, my humble abode boasts neither of those, but I still think I could go for one of these large scale projects for the mantle or on top of the bookcase wall unit.

I liked this first "mini album" a lot because not only was there the eye-catching supersize version (abt 12" or 15" square, I'm guessing)...


...but there was also a baby brother version on the shelf (about 6"?). Cool, huh?...


Here's more oversized samples...



And the regular versions...


And just a couple more (biggies):

This last one is the one I'd like to adapt for my mantle or as a gift perhaps. The photo is at least an 8"x10" (maybe larger) just to give you a sense of the scale. Isn't this too cute?! Even as just a double fold out this would be adorable.

Oh yeah and there was lots of cool product in the booth too, but I'll have to save that for another post since I'm all out of time.

m is for...

Well, M is a lot of things, but in this case M is mostly Michelle. This is a journal I recently altered. I thought it would be fun to put a monogram "M" initial for its owner and then think of other words that the might suit a scrapbooker's journal. (Click on a the photo for a closer view of what words I ended up with).

This technique would be fun on a layout too either framing a photo, or even an embellishment like I've done here with the monogram letter. You could use it on a tag or do a series of deco shapes with various words using the "theme" letter. The possibilities go on and on.
