i have a huge post started about my CHA experience, with lots of photos of the fun people i got to meet. but it's long and it's not done yet. so i think i'm going to save that for tomorrow or monday. in the meantime, i wanted to share a few more of my making memories projects that i saw up in the booth.

Slice_sock_hop_font_alphabet_hey_card

this card was made using the new sock hop font design card, the pen tips, and the just chillin collection. i sliced the letters from brown pattern paper, using the "normal" setting. and then i used the pen tips to draw the letters on white cardstock, using the "shadow" setting. i cut the pen drawn letters out my hand, and then layered the brown letters on top.

for the card itself, i adhered a piece of lined pattern paper first, and then a piece of yellow vellum on top of it to soften it up a little. i then sliced a large circle from the orange star pattern paper, using the basic shapes design card. i pop dotted that entire piece of orange paper to my card, for extra dimension. then just added some ribbon, brads, and a button to finish it off.  

Slice_summer_summerfun_minialbum

this little mini album cover was done with the summer design card. the album is one of MM older albums, from the cheeky collection. along the edge, i simply adhered some paper flowers, felt flowers, and buttons from the great escape collection.

i then sliced a fun sun shape from yellow cardstock, using the "normal" setting. i heat embossed it with yellow embossing powder for a shiny look. i then used the embossing tips in the slice, to emboss the same sun shape onto orange pattern paper. i sanded down the raised areas from the embossing, and cut out the shape by hand. then i added the yellow embossed sun on top using mini pop dots. i sliced the word "fun" from brown cardstock, and pop dotted that to the middle of the sun.

Slice_summer_here_is_the_scoop_card

i love the ice cream shapes on the summer design card, which is what i used for this card. i sliced the cone from brown pattern paper, and then sliced a bunch of scoops of ice cream from different pattern papers. all papers from the just chillin collection.

i layered the scoops together, using some pop dots on some of the scoops. i started off using pop dots on all the scoops, but realized that it was getting way too bulky of an ice cream cone. lol! so i only used the pop dots on a few layers. under that pink scoop on the top, i had to use 3 pop dots layered together to meet up with the paper. then i just added little dots of glitter stickles to the scoops.

    I like the idea of covering the cheeky album like that. Never thought of doing that!

    The pens are cool, and I love that ice cream cone too! Did you use the SLice to emboss the cone with the little criss crosses?
