as promised... here is last night's NYC layout!
i hope you can see it here enough to appreciate this fabulous little find! i am a ROAMER when i go to NYC... i just get myself to a good area, and then wander. this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant gave us such a chuckle... so cute! i really wished it was time to eat when we passed it...but we had just eaten at some boring place!
i used 3 colors of 'skitozphrenic' alphabets: kelly, martha and pink. i used a bunch of different tapes... the wide white w/ pink dots is new "pink cafe". the "nyc" is from the plastic alphabet "fat cat". lots of different photocorners. I LOVE all the photocorners. dang fun. and then one of my FAVORITE items... new at MT was "journaling spots"... basically it's a set of 6 diff sizes post-it notes in a thing (the post-it type adhesive isn't really effective enough to just get stuck to the page, still has to be adhered to the page... but the little pads are so cute). there are like 6 diff. styles.. I LOVE THEM! here i used the rectangle that is under the "nyc" on the left, the circle and rectangle in the middle and the index tab shapes on the right hand page. (this sku is called "frills" pink) add in the obligatory jewels. OH and i used a little chipboard arrow... i love the chipboard arrows.
by they way... i have been using a lot of jewels... FYI... i glue them down caues the adhesive that is supposed to make them "self-adhesive" SUCKS... don't be fooled by that! sorry... i really hope we can ramp that up! it bugs me so bad. sigh. on the other hand, i ENJOY the self-adhesive on all the chipboard and even the plastic alphas... i guess i can't have it all!
This page is so fun, Heidi!! Can't wait to get my hands on some of those little notepads...sooooo cute! NY rocks...can't wait to go there again!!

NYC seems so far away from Australia, i'll get there one day ... I have been so bad with my time, seeing all your work is making me want to get busy - very cool stuff Heidi!

Loved the layout, have to say when I went to NYC it terrified me, after all coming from a small town in NZ of 14,000 and going to a massive city like that where I swear everybody who lived there was walking down the street at the same time....!!!

Heidi,
My daughter came home from college this week to visit. She walked into my store and saw the HS lip gloss (which is great BTW) and all the bling and said "Heidi Swapp is a genius". I just wanted to share that with you because I have to agree. I am looking forward to CHA Winter. I have to agree the adhesive on the jewels does suck but we forgive you! The jewels are great! I love the layout!

Another great layout, Heidi! I'm hoping to get my hands on some of your lip gloss soon, I've heard it's fantastic and I'm loving all the bling bling too. :-)

Heidi... it is so great to see how you use your products, it is sooo inspiring! In fact, tonight I went and created a layout using more of your iron-ons. They're fantastic! Now, I have one suggestion... it would be SO awesome if you came out with sets of iron-ons featuring numbers and punctuation marks. Maybe I'm the only one, but I think they would be cool. Thanks again for all of the inspiration!

I have to admit, I was talking on the phone to my girlfriend, and we were both looking at your new LO today! "A TOILET? What in the world would you want a picture of a toilet for?", I exclaimed. My girlfriend had to explain that it was creative art... OK, creative art or not, it's still a toilet. There's not much you can do to make it a work of art :) !! My friend said that only I would pick out something like that. He! He!
Anyways, love the LO! Especially how the greens in the pics all flowed together!
By the way, did you know that we've "met"? I was so excited when you were introducing your line at CHA this past January, but there was no way I could go, as I had a 3-month old at the time. So, I sent my best friend along with an 8 x 10 picture of me. You were such a sport to pose with Yvonne & "me"! It was so cool!
Anyways, great LO! Would love to go to NYC someday, but the girls are just too young right now. Maybe when they get older, I'll drag them up there for some serious shopping!!

Heidi, the pink forest is so charming. Grandma would love it. She always loved pink and for the lots of her last Christmas trees, pink was a unifying factor. I have one ? Where are the flamingoes? They'd look dynamite sparkled up. Just last night in my mind I canceled my formulating plans to have a Gingerbread House decorating party with the girls in our family one night next week. Then a special touch for my Christmas cards went haywire (it worked for the better today and they are ready to mail). It snapped me to reality and I decided to start early next Christmas to do Gingerbread Houses. This way I can do more knitting and perhaps get some cookies baked. This holiday I've had to be very selective about what I do because of a crazy horrible cold that set me back 2 weeks in November. But things look Christmasy and I am happy. Will send photos to you. Keep up the creativity! Love, KJ
