Creativation January 2020 is only a few months away, where did the time go, holy smokes!
I am proud to announce that I will be teaching a Vintage Floral Necklace with Dress My Craft at the Phoenix Arizona Convention Center. Additionally, I will be in the booth for Make n' Takes, I will update with schedule closer to the show. Registration is soon so keep an eye out!
I had to contact Marina to figure out just how long we have known each other. I remember it was a craft expo in Portland, Oregon more than 8 years ago, I was walking the the show floor and when I first saw the Mon Ami Gabby booth, my mouth dropped to the floor and drool was falling from my lips with all the beautiful lace, ribbon and other fun and unique embellishments. They were so my style, so unique and top notch quality. I ended up spending all my money at that booth that day. I still hoard a few items from that haul because its so hard to use it, its so darn beautiful.
Over the years, Marina and I had seen each other at expos and trade shows. I was always in awe of the products and hoped to someday design for the company. I am now realizing that hope as I work with Mon Ami Gabby in a project designer/endorsed educator capacity. This means you will see A LOT of this yumminess in my future projects featured in various publications, on my blog, on the Mon Ami Gabby blog and now in my upcoming mixed media classes. Keep an eye out on my class schedule page, adding classes this week!
I am super excited to be working with Marina, a hard working, talented and creative woman that brings us such amazing products to create with. If you haven't had a chance to see what kind of wonderful products they have, please spend some time over at www.monamigabby.com. You will be glad you did.
Looking forward to inspiring you with lots of Mon Ami Gabby!!!!
Thank you for stopping by.

Dreams really do come true....
I am extremely fortunate to have spent time with Michele Parrish of Want2Scrap.com over the years through Scrap n' Art online magazine, show room floors and just designing in the industry in general. She even admitted to me that she "followed" me through the years and my designs (which brought a tear to my eye) so when I got the chance to create some product for her company, I was gobsmacked to say the least.
We have now created a few albums and embellishments with more on the drawing table, however, I wanted to announce our newest album that I simply adore and makes me jump up and down!!!
I have to admit that this one is my most favorite. I am vintage girl through and through, old items speak to me and draw me in. I have a special love for printers trays. These come from old printers cabinets in the day when things were printed with old wood and metal letter blocks. There is so many ways to create with this album:
What better paper to use then Graphic 45's Typography Collection to create a vintage tray.
And Steampunk Spells....
Check out the other albums in my collection, these are such a blast to create with, corrugated cardboard, canvas and chipboard, OH MY!!!
Check out all the fun albums and embellishments at http://bit.ly/candyrosenbergcollection and get yours today!!
Thank you all so much for your support!
Be Inspired. Always!

The Australian Tour was such a great experience, the stores and students were all wonderful and I hope to stay in touch with a lot of you. I am just now getting over my jet lag after 14 WORKSHOPS, 9 STORES in 16 DAYS! I felt a bit like a rock star on a concert tour. Sherry Mendoza of Your Creative Journey was a phenomenal organizer this event and I am very thankful for her hospitality!
I will share more photos as soon as I can. Meanwhile, here are a few projects that I worked on just before I left so they got out in the mail before I headed out.
Peddlers Den was holding a "No Place Like Home" fun gathering and needed something for the party. I was happy to oblige, using Graphic45's "Magic of Oz" papers and new alterable box.
Blumenthal Lansing needed some projects for an upcoming Michael's Craft Store Convention:
All the jewelry items inside were made with blumenthal buttons as well.
Plus I have some other fun news!
I just got my copy of the special edition by Creating Keepsakes of "Budget-Friendly Scrapbooking" with a fun layout using a food label. You have to see this one!
I can't keep my eyes open any longer, hope you all are doing well and thank you for stopping by!

We will be using Graphic45's brand new "Magic of Oz" paper collection along with products from Basically Bare, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, May Arts, Ranger, Imaginarium Designs, The Rubber Cafe and Flourish with a Bling! This kit is to die for, it is jam packed with lots of wonderful elements that we will be layering throughout this book!
We will be going on a mixed media journey doing lots of layering, distressing and inking!
"Treasured Memories...The Past" Mixed Media Album Workshop
It is no secret that I love "Steampunk" and heritage inspired projects and our Treasured Memories...The Past is the perfect album for this. Using the new "Funky Findings" mixed media album from Basically Bare!
We will be using Graphic45's "Steampunk Debutante" paper collection along with products from Basically Bare, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, May Arts, Ranger, Imaginarium Designs, The Rubber Cafe, Flourish with a Bling and Vintage Street Market! We will do some serious layering and inking in true steampunk style.
We will have custom lettering that will go on the front that says "Treasured Memories" for the actual workshop. I do not have them yet to show on the sample. Please notate.
I cannot wait to meet all you wonderful crafters in Australia and very excited to share and inspire each of you!

First of all, I am very excited about CHA in Rosemont, Illinois. My class sold out quickly and I cant wait to share this project with all my students.
We will be using a fun and funky mixed media album and embellishments from Basically Bare smothered in Graphic45's "Le Cirque" paper and Staple embellishments all held together with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3Ltm adhesive products! Then add some custom alphas all the way from Australia from Imaginarium Designs, luxurious ribbon from May Arts, fun tape from Vintage Street Market and wild buttons from Blumenthal Lansing and guess what you get?
Well all I can show you is a little sneaky poo, sorry, all the build up and all I got for you is this. Hang tight though there will be more! I am so grateful to the wonderful companies that help to make classes like these possible at CHA. Please be sure to support them whenever you can!
