CHA....Configuration madness

Hi bloggers! Hope your weekend is going great. 

This post focuses on the big projects I made for CHA. In previous years I've always made cards for the show first and then I always ran out of time to make the FUN stuff, configurations. I love Configurations! So this year I started with the big stuff.

But first a few of my favorite vignettes from the Sizzix booth. 
How awesome is this display of books. It was so cool! 

And this winter scene. Makes you want to go ice skating or snow shoeing. The only thing missing was a snow ball fight. 

My Apothecary Configuration. This was the first project I created for CHA. I was so inspired that I couldn't create fast enough! I love the new Apothecary line from Tim Holtz and Halloween happens to be one of my favorite holidays. I hand cut the haunted house from the front of a configuration book.

Here's the inside with vampire blood, bones and spiders oh my. Perfect to display at Halloween. Just look at all the fun new Sizzix dies in the Alterations line. 

An altered Assemblage clock. Packed with lots of spooky goodness.

Now for the Merriment line. Love the red and white! The tray has many of the new holiday Sizzix Alterations dies. Love the snowman! 

This configurations hangs on the wall! It has a little shaker box complete with snow amongst the tress. Can't wait to display this at Christmas time. 
So many amazing products so little time!

Hope your having a great weekend. 
I'll be back tomorrow with some blog prizes.
 Who doesn't love prizes?

    The configurations frames were my favorite! I'm so inspired by the Christmas frame! Please, please please can you tell me details about it. Yes I'm begging as it is simply amazing! Love the Halloween ones too. The haunted house overlay creating a frame is so cool! Your projects are just breath taking!

    Hi Rochelle,
    I think we all can see why you were chosen for team T!M. You art is so amazingly reminiscent of the heart of an artist born in another era. But you are in this era with the best of elements to create with. Your art shows an attention to detail reserved to few! Can't wait to see your fingerprint on T!M products and samples.

    AWESOME STUFF! That must be strange to turn your muse from Halloween to Christmas so quickly. You've showcased all the new goodies beautifully.

    Seeing names with display pieces really doesn't clck until someone puts it into perspective for you. Loved reading Tim's news that you are on his team. Seeing some of your projects above I can tell you that teh Halloween and Christmas configurations projects were a cuople of my favorites when I saw them in the CHA photos. Welcome and I look forward to seeing more inspiration from you.

    At first, I was jealous and wouldn't click on your blog. Well, I did, and I'm happy I did! You are so talented! When I was checking Tim's blog daily for the CHA pics, I drooled over the stuff you did! Great stuff, esp. that configurations book. Halloween is my favorite holiday, too, and my daughter and I are starting a petition to make it a week long holiday. I am looking forward to seeing more of your creations! Welcome!
