And let me tell you, I was OVERWHELEMED at the amount of entries that I received for this guest blogger position. WOW. So much so that I invited some people to help me guest judge since I knew it would be hard for me to decide. A good thing I got the pressure off of me on this one. WHEW.

It does excite me how much interest we have in our new ranges and Ruby Rock-It.

CHA Day 2 & 3.

WOW.

We have been VERY BUSY these last two days. Ruby Rock-It has been getting a huge response here in the U.S. and we are absolutely THRILLED about in. Making a lot of great contacts, doing make-n-takes, having loads of fun.

Joanna Baxter and Rachel Carlson in the Ruby Rock-It Booth #3177.

This is the mini book make-n-take we've been doing. People are loving it. I've been enjoying seeing everyone's unique interpretation of it as they work to do it. My philosphy has always been: Make it your own. You can't go wrong with the new ranges.

I want to take a moment to thank all of our sponsors that donated supplies to our make-n-take:

Fiskars

Therm O Web

Tonic

I sincerely appreciate your genorosity.

A special thanks to one of my design team members, Erin Yamabe for helping facilitate them.

I will do my best to wrap up the day on the blog from the airpot 'if' time allows.

Tomorrow is the last day of the show and I board a plane on the same day to head back to the PAC-NW.

Thanks for checking in.

Creative cheers,

Rachel

Let's try this again...*LIVE FROM CHA*...a FEW pictures so far...

I thought I would get 'some' photos up before we head out for dinner. Peeks of the AMAZING banners that the design team made to hang on the AMAZING gazebo that Joanna found in Australia. What a GENIUS idea she had to hang banners on. Her vision came to life and everyone has been enjoying this focal feature of the booth. We've had many compliments on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heading out to dinner soon. Come back tomorrow for more updates and photos.

So glad to have all of you along on this tour with us.

Creative cheers,

CHA day 1.

Good morning Ruby Rock-It Fans.

I am having trouble with my new camera software, oops. Guess I should have worked that out before traveling. Plus it was a very busy day yesterday. I will do my best to blog from the trade show floor today during lunch and breaks.

IF you did visit the blog today though expecting to see photos, please leave a comment on 'this' blog post and I will pick THREE winners to win the new ranges that we are debuting this year. You have until midnight tonight (PST) to enter.

Thanks for your patience!

Happy Monday and cheers to a great week ahead.

All the fun begins tomorrow...FINALLY!!

The moment we've all been waiting for. The moment that we've worked several months on, colloborated on and got excited about. It's time to  show our stuff TOMORROW. Today we finished up the booth and WOW, let me just tell you, get ready for some yummy photos tomorrow night.

HUGE apologies as I only captured ONE photo today. My shuttle ride from the airport was longer than I expected.

Thanks for following us durinig CHA too, I might just be giving some goodies away too so post on all the blog posts, you never know where I'll be finding winners.

Happy weekend,

Rachel Carlson

Vintedge Inspiration

Welcome to the final day of Vintedge inspiration. Keely here. I hope you have enjoyed all of the wonderful DT creations this week.  I love the great patterns and embellishments in this collection.  It is perfect for any occasion.  I created this layout about my daughter, Jennah, and her happy, positive attitude.

I love the fun journaling strips that coordinate with each collection. 

I created this masculine layout with the Vintedge collection and fun, Ruby Rock-It chipboard pieces.  The great heart patterned paper was just perfect for a Valentine's Day layout.  The jeweled crown in the Vintedge collection is such a fun embellishment.

And, lastly, a fun anniversary card for my hubby.  My inspiration for this card was the sneak peek for this collection that you can see: HERE.  I love the music sheet patterned paper with the contrast of the bright colors in the rest of the collection.

Don't forget, today is the last day to enter this week's challenge:

Create anything you like, use whatever products make you happy, just take your inspiration from the ad - be it colours, shapes, design, images - whatever pops out at you and makes you want to create!   Post it online, leave us a link here by 11:59pm MST, Friday night  (and don't forget to tell us what inspired your creation - we want to know!).  We'll announce the lucky winner on Saturday.  GOOD LUCK!!!

Versatility | Vintedge Style!

Hello Ruby Rock-It fans!  Hope you all are having a great week as we near the end of Versatility with the Vintedge range. I'm sure you have all been inspired by my fellow DT member's AMAZING creations!  JJ had a great idea didn't she?  I love to work with something for its unintended purpose!

And what a fun line to do this with, VINTEDGE!

We were challenged this week, to create some femninine and masculine projects with this gorgeous range!

First up for me, a feminine layout with some very dear friends:

Next, a masculine layout with my sweet baby boy cousin, Clifton!

And lastly, and probably my favorite from this range so far...is my youngest with her sweet love for her jellyfish:

Thank you for stopping by! Come back tomorrow and see what Keely has in store for you as we wrap up the week. I hope you have enjoyed this week full of inspiration from our DT! 

XOXO
