cross country trip Archives

I am packing as we speak! Despite a nasty bug my grandson passed along, I am almost back to normal and hope to get on the road to California as planned. But I am sure you want to see who the CHA Designers in the Paper Trail Booth are going to be. Make sure and check out last week’s post and the week before to see who else will be there.

First up is Debra Quartermaine…

Debra is Design and Social Media Co-ordinator for the Kunin Group and a free lance designer. Her design work has a signature stylish charm showcased in hundreds of published articles, patterns, baby fabric and several books. Debra’s creativity extends to home décor, event planning and culinary delights in her heritage five star B & B Quartermain House on the east coast of Canada.

Her project is Tea Time with Scotty- an embellished felt teacup pocket with teabag. Sounds so cute!

Now meet Midge and Madge 🙂

Who are Midge and Madge? We are two best friends that love all things crafty. We can turn any time into a good time! You can join us on all of our Adventures by simply following us on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and Periscope! Grab a cup of coffee, diet coke or your favorite wine and “Mingle” with us! Many often wonder, where in the world are Midge & Madge? You could find us crazy ladies in New Orleans sipping on coffee or tea in the French Quarter, partying like it is 1999 in Vegas or ghost hunting at The Stanley Hotel in Colorado, or “Mingling” amongst our favorite crafty friends while at CHA. Whatever it is Midge and Madge will have a story to tell. Be sure to check out all of our adventures at #midgeandmadgeadventures or www.midgeandmadgemingle.com

Join us as we create a super fun DIY Dishcloth using Dies, Buttons, Ribbon, and more!

And here’s my friend Laura Kelly!

Laura Kelly creates designs that are simple yet stellar, bright, whimsical and inspire the creative spirit. She stays busy with four kids and continuous creative projects happening all around her from the studio and kitchen to the outdoors and community! Her passion for creating, learning and sharing is contagious. With a background in elementary education and years of working with kids of all ages, she is elated to be designing with Sculpey to create projects that are simple enough for kids but inspiring enough for grown-ups.

And now let’s meet my BFF Lorine Mason. We actually live in the same town and meet often for lunch when we need to escape from our studios. So lucky I have someone to talk to and bounce things off…

Lorine Mason from It’s Sew Lorine will be demonstrating how to put the craft into DIY Espadrilles. Stamp, stencil, paint and bead your way to one of kind footwear. Want to try your hand at creating your very own? Stop by and watch the demonstration or perhaps even try your hand at transforming a simple piece of canvas into the beginning of your very own pair of espadrilles using products from the Paper Trail’s sponsors.

Saturday 1:00 – 2:00 pm

Sunday 3:30 – 4:30 pm

Monday 2:00 – 3:00 pm

You will definitely want to come by and make all these great projects!
