Fanciful Creations

This week is CHA in Chicago. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the bi-annual convention and trade show for the Craft & Hobby Association. It's were all the latest and greatest products are released for retailers to ooo and aah over. It such a cool event.

Fancy Pants Designs is there showing off their BRAND NEW releases, Off To School, Oct. 31, Summer's End and Saint Nick. I was honored to be able to work with some of this new product before it was even released and I had tons of fun with it. I wanted to share my creations with you today.

Ready 2 Learn
Uses the new Off To School collection, which I am in love with! It's the perfect combo of old-school elements, classic patterns and today's trendy colors. And, who wouldn't love those printed Filter Embellishments and that fun flocked transparency (alphabet overlay)?

Oct. 31
Uses the new Oct. 31 collection and I was totally geeked when I saw this line for the first time. I LOVE it's vintage vibe and that TEAL! Swoon! These papers and embellishments (the chipboard elements, printed filter paper embellishments and rub-ons - LOVE!) were perfect match for these photos of my daughter, is her peacock costume.

Oh my goodness! I can't get over this gorgeous collection—Summer's End! The amazingly talented owner of Fancy Pants, Jodi, knocked it out of the park with this one. So much to love about it ... the doilies, the colors, and those printed Filter Embellishments ... I loved pairing them with the Strips paper (which I cut the little doily banner from). Perfection!

I hope you've been inspired. Want to see more layouts and projects using these new collections? Head on over to the Fancy Pants blog. The Pocket Chicks have been busy. Also, be looking for these new collections online and at your local scrapbook store soon!
