I'm having a great week, playing none, working a lot!

Meet one of our newest DT Diva's Laurel Seabrook!

Hi everyone! 

One of our newest DT Diva's Laurel Seabrook sent me some of her beautiful creations that she has made with Nikki's papers!! I just love Laurel's style!

So excited that Laurel is on our team!

Just look at these ADORABLE ornaments Laurel made with cookie cutters! Love this idea!  Laurel used Gingerbread Land on these!

And Laurel also sent me the CUTEST cards that she made with the Beatrice line! Love these!!

Again, welcome to the team Laurel! So happy you are with us!

More Booth photos from CHA!

I have lots of pictures for you today of my booth from CHA!

So lets just jump right in....

this is my grandma's jelly cabinet that I brought with me to the show! 

I loved having it in my booth with me!

It worked so well for a display!

Katrina made the tag banner, tags, girlie box on top and wooden spool with the picture. 

Stacy made the "Thank heaven" for little boys" mini album.

I made everything else. 

Also I added a picture of my grandma and I when I was young since my "Audrey" paper was created in her honor!

Katrina made this great hear wall-hang! 

It was beautiful!

My Audrey collection...

samples of projects using "Audrey".

These next few pictures were taken from my "Island Table" in the center of the booth. 

I cover the top of my table with a thin cork material, that I really liked but wished I had used something thicker b/c it was really easy to tear.

Love this little ribbit I have as part of my home decor for Easter. 

She is holding a little Heresy's Kiss with a toothpick stuck in it with a sweet message from 

my "Audrey" paper line.

My paper cupcakes are always a hit but everyone seemed to really like the Heresy's Kisses toothpick holders too! So Fun and easy to make!

Its hard to see but my award is in the center of this picture (green base), its all glass so its hard to see and photograph too.

This is one of the 2 tables that was were my grandma's that I painted and brought with me to the show!

And that is my PINK Clip It Up! 

Yes you can paint your Clip It Up and adhere ribbon and buttons on it like I did!

Turned out really cute!

My white owl was from a good friend and its has a place it sits in my home but now its new home is on top of my new pink Clip it Up!

That's it for today! 

Welcome DT Diva, Melissa Pablo

It has been FOREVER since I have blogged here (or on my own blog)!  But, today I am excited to share some work of one of our new design team Divas, Melissa Pablo.  Melissa has been a long time participant  of the Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker blog here and we are excited to have her on the team this term. 

The Divas are waiting on the new collections to arrive, but Melissa had some of the older collections and sent me three layouts while I was away at CHA.  I was so excited when I got these in my inbox from her!

For the first layout, she combined the following collections:  

My Friend Birdie, Gingerbread Land, and Tree Love.  

And they all worked together perfectly!

For this layout Melissa used:  

Will He B the 1, Flaming Butterfly, and Sugar Cookie

And for the last layout Melissa used these collections:

Sugar Cookie, We Are Family, My Friend Birdie, and I think there is a little Gingerbread Land in there also!

I love that she combined at least three different collections on each layout, but they all went seamlessly together!  Be sure to visit Melissa's blog, 

creative isay. 


Also, don't forget to grab one of the new collection badges over at the side to add to your blog.  I have already picked one winner this week!!!

Still recovering from CHA!

I don't know if its because I'm getting old or just working my butt off but I've slept around 10 hours each night and have mainly just laid around with my dogs for the past 3 days. (And I'm still tired!) However today starts a new week so tired or not there is a lot of catching up to do. I have tons of "follow-up" calls to make and maybe a HUGE co-branding with another company, still to early to see if it will all work out but keeping my fingers crossed!  Also my paper should be arriving early this week too! Very excited about that!

I only got to blog a couple of times last week during CHA, I had wanted to blog more but once back in the hotel room I just passed out! In fact one night Dan woke me up and said "Nik, you are still fully dressed from today, don't you want to get your PJ's on?"so I got all the sleep I could when I could! 

Below are some pictures from my booth and I'll share pictures all week with you since I have more than can be shown in one blog post! 

This is my entire booth all set up and ready to show off!

I re-furbished this child's chalk board easel and instead of using the little shelf for holding the chalk I used it as a flower pot bed that are holding paper flowers made from my paper collections!      

Close you pic...

I hot glued a little blue bird (fake) in a little nest for the corner of the chalkboard!

It maybe hard to see but I still want a place to put my chalk so I bought an old drawer pull/handle turned it upside down and attached it to the backside of the chalk board. Love it!

I also made a little step stool for my nephew Noah with the "Noah" paper collection, I can't wait to give it to him for his first b-day in May!  

DT Diva, Stacy made this cute picture holder from the Noah collection. 

Don't you just love those little wooden spools!

Stacy also used my red Burlap Buttons too!

These are the huge framed boards that hold all the collections and samples of each collection.

DT Diva, Katrina made this star ornament from the Noah collection!

Love it!

This is the sample board for the Noah Collection.

Okay so this little guy sits at the bottom of my stairs in my home and at the very last minute I decided to pack him up and put him in the crate and he was perfect for holding my little fortune cookies made from the "Audrey" collection.  I'm ready to have him back home now! 

Check back Wednesday for more booth pictures! 

Noell Hyman from The Paper Clipping came by to talk about my four collection and she then decided to go ahead and make a video from my booth and talk with me for a bit too!

Thanks Noell for the great video and for stopping by to say hi! 

Hope everyone has a great week!
