CHA Chicago


Home from the CHA SuperShow in Chicago (yesterday actually) and had a great time with my mom who came along.  We have not done many mother/daughter trips together and this past long weekend just enforced even more how much I love to spend time with her. It was a perfect "girls trip", including plenty of retail therapy!

Above is a card I created today with some of my goodies I came home with, the stamps are from Papertrey Ink (Four of a Kind - Limited CHA Only Release). I used Terracotta Tile (PTI), SU! Old Olive, and GKD Chocolate Kisses for my color combination - which I am quickly falling in love with. The size of the floral image (which is two stamps, the leaves are separate from the flowers) is a whopping 4.0 X 4.25. So the card base is 5.5X5.5 square.

I couldn't possibly create this post without a CHA picture of my mom and I ~ we had so much fun together. We both love stamps and paper so CHA Chicago was the perfect summer trip for us!
